House Keeping at the Orphanage
Just like your family home the Bread of Life family home needs repairs and maintenance from time to time. Recent improvements include new windows which we appreciate so much in the winter. Cozy is so much better than drafty! We have replaced some of our washing machines for the children’s clothing and bedding. Now we need to do some painting and plumbing repairs so the orphanage will be the best we can provide for the children. We also must make sure we are ready for government inspections. One improvement we hope to make is adding drinking fountains for the children to use on each floor. Supporter’s donations allow us to do all the little things that make a good life possible for the children.

What Is the BOL Christian Center? Some dreams start small. Ours started as an impossible one — a home in Bucharest where teenagers from broken, poverty stricken backgrounds could finally have a stable place to live, grow, and become who God made them to be.
At the beginning of the journey, the word that best described these kids was helplessness. When you start life in an environment shaped by severe hardship, the future feels less like a promise and more like a threat. For the five young people in our community who graduated high school this summer, the starting line was a painful one. Behind their eyes lay realities too heavy for any child to carry: a girl who had to find her courage within an abusive family, and boys who grew up without the warm embrace of a mother. For them, education and finishing school seemed like a distant dream.
