Where is Croatia Anyway?


Croatia, or Hrvatska, part of former Yugoslavia, sits at the top left portion of the Balkan Penninsula in Europe. It is shaped like a giant comma with the thin leg stretching south east along the Adriatic coast just across from Italy.
Croatia borders on Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, and Montenegro and sits only hours away from Austria and Italy.

Zagreb is the Captiol City of Croatia, about two hours inland from the nearest coastal city, Rijecka. Zagreb is where we will be living for the next nine months assisting Pastor George and Carol Arman, along with Pastor Tomas and Eva Bulicek, in establishing a Greater Grace Church in Croatia. We will be making various trips to neighboring cities and regions along the way, please pray for open doors for the Gospel.

Zagreb is a strategic site for the location of a healthy Greater Grace Church, with many war torn regions close by in need of the Grace only found in Jesus Christ. We belive God! Pray that we discover God's place for us there as a young married couple and new parents of a beautiful daughter. Also, pray for our health and wellness as we travel about experimenting with foreign markets, foods, and cultures. We joy to know we are tightly knit in a caring, living, and supplying home church and loved by so many. We are what we are by the Grace of God.

Love Never Fails,

The Tanguays
