Balkan Vision

Many years ago, God placed on our hearts the desire to meet and bless people of different cultures and backgrounds.  What better way than through a youth hostel; where people from all over the world would be gathered in our 'home' for new and exciting adventures.  Out of this desire, the dream of blessing our traveling guests as well as the local community was born.

The vision is for the hostel to be a self-supporting and duplicatable business with the purpose of planting churches.

We want the hostel to function as a welcoming and safe harbor for the traveler, and a community outreach center.

FOR EXAMPLE

A gathering place: a point of contact to interact with new people every day.
An opportunity to partner with God's activity in people's lives. 

A temporary residence for team members and partners.

A meeting and training center (discipleship training and church plant)

A hub for community outreach and improvement; to name a few:

     Community clean up projects

     Feeding the hungry

     A meeting place for local friends

A job creating center for the local under-employed population, for example: 

    Food service

    Tourism

    Hostel management

    Community organizer

    Organic farming

A language school....conversational Serbo/Croatian, English and German.

A place for local artists to exhibit their work.

A place where Eco, Adventure, Cultural and Nature Tours will be provided for guests.

A place where organic farming practices will be taught, implemented and utilized.

MAIN GOAL

Create an inviting and safe environment for the Holy Spirit to freely intersect with and transform peoples’ lives; both locally and globally!
