Global Cities Initiative

What is the Initiative?

The IMB has identified 75 strategic cities among its global affinities. These cities are gateways to multiple people groups, cultures, and religions. IMB missionaries and SBCV churches are committed to reaching people with the Gospel and strengthening local churches in these cities.  

Buenos Aires

With a metro population of 15 million people, Buenos Aires, Argentina plays an essential role in reaching all the nations and people of Latin America.  Work with our IMB team and local churches to make a Gospel impact.

European Peoples

Lithuania

The nation of Lithuania has fewer than 1% evangelical Christians and has one of the highest suicide rates on the globe. Millennials have abandoned the state religion and become agnostic. They are raising their children without any knowledge of God. Lithuania needs the hope that comes from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
