Balaceanca Tutoring Program

A few days ago, I was visiting the children at the Balaceanca Feeding Center with a friend. After spending time with the children, we delivered food parcels to local families. This experience deeply shocked my friend. After two sleepless nights, he returned to me and asked: what is your dream for Balaceanca? After pondering a few moments, I found myself replying: We are living the dream!

The dream that we all shared for the children in Balaceanca, to the glory of God, has come to pass. We have worked intensely for weeks to prepare the classroom to start tutoring children. Finishing this classroom, in addition to the dining and shower area, completes the logistics to start the afterschool program for the children. 

With the invaluable support of Iulia and Manu from the Good News church, tutoring sessions have commenced to address the children’s educational needs. Sadly, many of the children no longer attend school regularly. We have tutoring for the children who attend school to ensure they stay caught up. And, for those not attending, we have separate tutoring sessions to help them catch up and hopefully reenter school.

We are encouraged to see that our Biblical vision to aid body, mind, and soul is coming to fruition. At the Balaceanca feeding center, we feed the physical and spiritual needs of the children, as well as their minds. Through education and guidance, we pray that they will be able to break the poverty cycle and become independent, God-centered adults who will have stable families.

A monthly donation of $38 enables us to provide the children with desperately needed food and educational resources. Your help is welcome, regardless of size, as we embark on this continuing journey of changing lives one day at a time. We thank you for your compassion and for sharing your blessings with the children in Balaceanca.

As with everything in life, if we want to reach these future goals, we must invest in the present. Our financial needs are constantly growing as we expand to reach more children and more needs. We humbly invite you to share the burden of caring for the children in Balaceanca.

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

Luke 6:38

“You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.” – Psalm 139:16 None of us chose to enter this world, nor did we select the families or circumstances into which we were born. These aspects of life are beyond our control, yet they shape us deeply.

God’s Word instructs us to care for the vulnerable, especially the widows and elderly. Psalm 56:8 states, “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle.” Inspired by this, the Bread of Life ministry extends compassion to the elderly, who often go unnoticed despite their sacrifices and hard work in earlier years.
