Coat Drive Progress Report

IMG_0210 (1)With winter quickly approaching in Romania the staff of Bread of Life is busily getting ready for the colder months ahead.  Proverbs uses the ants as an example of a hard working team that works diligently to set aside provisions. Each ant knows what it is supposed to do.  For us the priorities right now include getting as many winter coats distributed as we can.  We just want to pause to thank those who have contributed to this project and give you an update.  So far we have distributed 215 coats.  We have finished supplying the Feeding Center in the village of Buda and will soon take coats to Harsova which is a mostly Muslim community near the Danube River.  Bringing the love of Christ to them in such a tangible way is very near to our heart. Some of the children have never had a new winter coat of their own and the look on their face is priceless when they first put it on.  Other Feeding Centers have been calling me and asking if Bread of Life can supply their children with warm coats.  We will do what we can and keep praying that God will bless and multiply our efforts!

This is the original announcement for the Winter Coat Drive:

WINTER COAT DRIVE

Winter in Romania is quite cold and just a few weeks away.  Each year Bread of Life provides coats for children at the orphanage and the children in poor villages where we have our Feeding Centers.  This year, because of the high cost of shipping used coats from overseas, we will be buying new coats for the children here in Romania.  We will purchase coats and similar clothing items in bulk and negotiate a good price from local distributors. Our research shows the total cost to buy and distribute new coats to be around $25 each.

If you would like to donate please mark your checks “Winter Coat Drive”   Our new mailing address is below.  You can also use the online donation option and type “Coat Drive” in the special instructions box.
Please share this project announcement with your friends online or post a copy at your church.  If you would like to volunteer to be a  Coat Drive Coordinator  for your church or area please contact us. We would love to hear from you.

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.

Aid for the Widows and Elderly

By George Robitu, BOL Co - founder • January 17, 2025
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.
