For The Least of These
Larisa Finds A Safe Haven
Larisa’s story is a testimony of the transformative power of love and care. Along with three siblings, she came to the Bread of Life Children’s Home from a life of unimaginable misery. Living in deplorable conditions, a dilapidated shack with dirt floors, no furniture, a flimsy roof, and a makeshift wooden door.
We welcomed her into the BOLCH, where other children who had also faced the hardships of a brutal childhood embraced her. With support from loving caregivers and newfound friends, Larisa blossomed. She’s caught up with her education, made lasting friendships, eagerly participates in the home’s Bible programs, and now even lends a hand with chores.
Over the past two decades, we’ve made a difference in the lives of over 350 children in desperate situations, and your help made that possible. Winters bring added expenses for wood, electricity, warm clothing, and nourishing meals. We need your continued support for the coming winter months.
You can profoundly impact by donating just $50, which will feed one of our 100 children for a month. Your contribution will provide them with stability, a warm, Christ-centered home, and a chance for a brighter future. We rejoice as you join us in this mission, ensuring more children like Larisa can thrive and find hope.

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.
