Who We Are
"Sharing Jesus with the Latin World."
Great Cities Missions serves missionary teams sent to designated cities of Portuguese- and Spanish-speakers in the Latin World.
Great Cities Missions has been sharing the gospel in the Latin world since 1976. The ministry has recruited and trained over 30 missionary teams and sent them to major metropolitan cities in ten different countries of the Latin world. Over 300 adults and their children have moved to new countries to tell people about Jesus and plant churches. Using the Great Cities Missions model of recruiting and training, over one hundred congregations now meet and thousands of people now worship Jesus as Savior.
Great Cities Missions is committed to care for and minister to missionary teams working far away from their home country. We minister to missionary team members throughout the entire missionary life cycle from their recruiting to their re-entry in their home culture.
Great Cities Missions is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization located in Addison, Texas and sponsored by the Central Church of Christ in Amarillo, Texas. Feel free to view our structural organization chart. The Amarillo Central Church oversees the ministry through a Board of Trustees composed of elders of the Central Church of Christ and trustees from across the United States and Brazil. Ten fulltime staff, two consultants and several part time workers also serve the ministry.

- Missionary team recruiting
