Gabriel & Eileen Cardona

Career Missionaries since 2022, serving the Croats of Southern Croatia

It’s been 14 years since God called us to plant a church in Orlando Florida for the unreached, a place where people could feel Christ’s love and acceptance. He called us to establish a center of influence in a local low-income community where we would have the opportunity to meet the needs of the people and teach the gospel of Christ. With God’s guidance we have been able to provide school supplies to over 400 children for the past 8 years, plant a community garden for 250 families, and begin educational programs. Light House Communities mission is to reflect the love of Jesus Christ to our community and praise God we have been able to do just that.

God has called us out to plant another church/center of influence where the light of the cross is needed. My wife Eileen and I along with our two children, Abigail and Levi have been praying for God to lead us to where He would like us to go since we knew God was calling us out, but we just didn’t know to where. When we came to AFM we saw the need was great all over the world, and that there were places in which Adventist churches were not present. One of those places is southern Croatia where less than 1% are Adventist, and in a country with a population of 4.1 million there are only 80 Adventist churches located in the northern region. My family and I will be sent to the southern region of Croatia, where there is no Adventist influence, to share the light of the gospel with a people group that needs the hope of Christ.

UPDATE:
We have now been living in Croatia for over 2 years and are in the process of planting a community center. Thank you for your prayers and support in this journey.

Here as it is in Heaven

We pray that we can show our friends here in Croatia how to seek God and experience a little piece of heavenly community here on earth.

The Heavenly Court

Those kids are beginning to see us as more than just visitors from another country but as examples.

Community: The Gift of Life

We know that this winter, we will not be alone. God is with us, and those He brings into our lives create a wonderful community.

Polako

We pray the Lord opens doors here to share Christ with others and eventually have friends joining us in this ministry, even in a more polako way at the cafes or on the beaches.

With Interest

The Lord has not only replenished what we have lost but has given it back to us with interest.
