Ohrid Boiler room ?
Yeah, I spent last several days in Ohrid with Scot and Gricko and it was great time visiting some people that we know, discovering new Irish pub but also spying the land for the boiler room idea.
Scot came with this idea some weeks ago and it’s growing beyond just a good idea, we can sense God in to all of this.
The idea is starting a boiler room in Ohrid after Scot and Misty spend a year at a boiler room that Markus is leading, get in to Transit school, and than start that in Ohrid. And the place is perfect for this kind of things.
It is a town with reach history, there was University found by St.Klement with 3000 students 200 years before the university in Bologna, the monasteries around were rich learning and spiritual centers. We met one local philosopher who tour us around historical places, and it was so special when he was explaining some of the old Christian symbols and how the early Christians found Christ in everything (not in a pantheistic way that everything is God but that you can see him in everything) and how they lived in harmony with the nature, things that we, 21-th century digitals need to rediscover.
It’s a perfect place for mission, three months of intense tourism makes this place one of the most strategic place in Macedonia, and contemplation, the slow pace of life and breathtaking nature through the rest of the year make it a place where someone can in combination with discipline and communal life be transformed in to a spiritual giant.

Ohrid is an old center of Serbian Orthodox, or is it Macedonian or Bulgarian Orthodox Christianity? I am a Greek Orthodox American, and I like your blog, and I'm interested in what you guys are doing in Europe. Bravo!
