Be Part of Our Legacy

As we celebrate two decades of serving the poor in Eastern Europe, we invite you to be a part of our cherished legacy. A decade ago, we placed a Time Capsule in the garden at the BOL Home in Brosteni, preserving memories and stories from 2003.

This December, we’ll unveil this treasure trove, and we extend a heartfelt invitation to all our ministry friends, whether you’ve been with us for a short while or longer. Send us a photo of your family or church group and perhaps a letter, too. Your contributions, big or small, are the threads of the legacy we’re weaving for our children.

New ParagraphIn the spirit of “Eben Ezer,” this Time Capsule is a testament to God’s unwavering provision through His active church. Join us in leaving your mark for the next decade.


Your stories and images will be a living testament to God’s faithfulness and love. We can’t wait to preserve your impact for the future. Send your contributions to BOL-Ministries@gmail.com. Thank you for being a part of this remarkable journey.


“Teach us to number our days,

that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” 

Psalm 90:12 (NIV)

BOL Prayer Calendar 2026

By BOL Team • November 17, 2025
“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Prayer changes things—because prayer moves the heart of God. As we step into 2026, we invite you to join us in praying for Bread of Life—the precious children God has placed in our care and the faithful staff who serve them. Every prayer lifted becomes part of His loving work of transformation. Together, we trust Him for healing, provision, and renewed hope as each child grows in His grace. Our 2026 Prayer Calendar is thoughtfully designed to sit on your desk in a triangular format, keeping prayer close at hand. One side displays the calendar, with the children and staff birthdays clearly circled as a gentle reminder to pause and pray for them on those special days. The inside of the triangle and the bottom portion of the calendar feature photos of the children and staff, putting faces to the prayers you offer as you lift each one before the Lord by name. As you see the calendar each day, we invite you to thank God for their lives and speak blessings over their futures. BOL Team

Sharing the Gift of Love This Christmas

By Debora Brown Volunteer Sponsorship Director • October 21, 2025
As the holiday season draws near, our hearts are filled with gratitude for God’s greatest gift—His Son, Jesus Christ. Christmas reminds us that love came down to dwell among us, and now we have the joy of sharing that same love with others. This year, we invite you to join our Christmas Shoebox Ministry —a simple yet powerful way to bless children in Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Romania. For many, these gifts will be the only ones they receive, but through them they’ll experience the warmth of God’s love and the hope of the gospel.
