Oscar and Bibiana Cardona

Hello.  We are from Bogotá, Colombia, and recently celebrated 9 years of marriage.  We have 2 precious children, Ana Sofia (8) and Daniel Esteban (5).  We have been Christians for 14 years.  During this time we have seen the faithfulness of God in our lives, but more than anything we have seen this in our marriage.

We married young because we were going to have a baby. However, after a year, we separated.  We thought going our own way was the best choice.  However, after another 18 months, God allowed us to run into each other, and we decided to give our relationship a second chance.  We knew that our daughter was suffering because of our separation.

This time, we permitted God to not only live in our hearts but also in our marriage.  That was 7 years ago!  Now, we give God the glory.  He is faithful.  Even through the difficulties, trials and frustrations, His mercies are new for us.

Today we live in Quito, Ecuador.  Together, with our children, we decided to accept the challenge to leave our country, our lives, and prepare at the South American Nazarene Theological Seminary.  The goal is to give our best to God.  We know that without God we could not live.  We want share with others who have lost hope that there is a new start.
