Latin America's Strategic Cities
Latin America to an Encounter with God
Celebrating 50 years of evangelism, discipleship, and church planting in Latin America's strategic cities.
In October 1973 an urban missions movement started in Lima, Peru that changed the way ministry was traditionally done in Latin America. Since then, the Encounter with God Movement has expanded to many key cities throughout the region.
Today, Church Ministries International (CMI) continues to partner with urban churches that share this vision for disciplining nations by developing gospel-centered churches in the urban centers of Latin America.
