Our Ministry

On their return from Canada they joined the team of missionaries in Colombia and together built the Satellite model for church planting, which has been growing and been blessed by the Lord (El Redil 33 in 1988, El Redil de El Poblado in 1994, El Redil de Oriente in 2001, El Redil de Envigado in 2003, El Redil de la Motal in 2005). Their vision is to be a central church, as a ministry centre capable of reaching the middle and upper class of Medellin, planting satellite congregations. They also serve in other areas such as: • Social work, supporting day cares for street kids. • Assisting and leading the national association of Baptist churches • Training preachers

who we are

Diego and Claudia Cardona are native Colombians who serve in Medellin with FEBlnternational. They have two children, Daniel and Tania. Diego’s family accepted the Lord in the sixties when the Fellowship Baptist went to Medellin. When he was 13 he made the decision for Jesus and started serving in the church. Before he was married, he attended the Seminary in MedellĂ­n for five years. Claudia accepted the Lord when she was sixteen. She and her sister were the first in their family to became Christians. Claudia has sorne training in business and selling and also has two years of theological training. Her passion is for discipleship and social work. In the first year of El Redil (the first church they planted in 1989) 21 people from Claudia’s extended family became Christians. In 1988 with the Webbs, the Wrays, and some university students they started a dream of a church and that was EL REDIL (sheepfold). They were part of the ministerial team and at the same time were finishing seminary studies. After ten years of service as pastors in El Redil church, Diego and Claudia carne to Canada in order to obtain a Master degree in Ministry, at ACTS in BC. At the sarne time, the family studied English. Their two years in Canada (1997 to 1999) gave them a significant experience in cross-cultural ministries, renewed their minds, and gaye them new tools for ministry During that time they started a new process in relationship with FEB International as national missionaries.
