The country of Croatia is located in Eastern Europe, formerly part of Yugoslavia, Croatia became an independent Republic in 1991. Croatia has a population of 4.8 million, only 0.4 of that population is known to be Evangelical Christian. The city of Split is in the southern, Dalmatian region of the country and is its largest port city on the Adriatic coast. With such a small minority of born again believers in Jesus Christ the spiritual environment of these believers can be very harsh. This makes it difficult for those who have made a decision to follow The Lord, and a very intimidating choice for those who are being witnessed to.

The Calvary Chapel in Split was started in 2005, the small but vibrant group of believes meet on Sundays in an apartment to continue the chapter by chapter and verse by verse study of the scriptures that enables them to have a strong foundation for their faith. Our heart as a church is to support the ministry and encourage the fellowship of the church in Split through prayer and resources.

Ebenezer Shepherding Ministries of Africa is located in Hawassa, Ethiopia, and is a group of homes that function as orphanages for local children. Our church has a strong link with the ministry in Ethiopia through the relationship Pastor Tim has had with the director Argaw Ayele since they were in Bible College together in Hungary. We fully appreciate the heart of ESMA to minister to those the Lord has brought into their care, as well as praying for what the Lord may have for them in the future.

We have been blessed as a church to partner with ESMA, through support, prayers and outreach teams. Please pray for the possibility of church planting in Ethiopia in the future.
