Fabian, our new family member

I want to introduce you to our new family member, 5 year old Fabian. He is from a needy family that lives in an apartment here in Brosteni where the Bread of Life Orphanage is located. His parents are unemployed and unfortunately spend from their meager resources to buy expensive cigarettes. Needless to say, their living quarters are very poor and leave a lot to be desired. Our hearts went out to this little boy who was sometimes sent by his mother to buy cigarettes when he was hungry and there was no food in the house. We made room for him in the orphanage and in our hearts.

Fabian is a dear child and expresses his gratitude by his smiles as he enjoys nutritious meals and a clean home. When he comes home from Kindergarten there is a warm place and many friends to welcome him. He has adjusted quickly to life in the orphanage where he was greeted by his two older brothers: Marian- 13, and Teo- 11 who have been at our children’s home since 2009.

Perhaps the most important change in Fabian’s life is that he now takes part in the daily devotional where he learns Bible stories and learns to pray and sing to God. Here Fabian learns that God loves him, and has a plan for his life. Please pray that Fabian will fulfill that plan and reap the blessings God has in store for him, now and for eternity!

“For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever” [Ps 9:18].

The Power of a Backpack: Restoring Dignity, Opening Doors

By Debora Brown • September 11, 2025
Each fall, children approach the first day of school with nervous anticipation or eager excitement. As a child, I loved school. I remember preparing with a list in hand, carefully choosing pencils and notebooks. We weren’t wealthy, but my parents always found a way. Sadly, many children in Romania don’t get to experience that joy. For them, choosing school supplies or packing a backpack is out of reach. Without basic tools, some can’t attend school at all—missing the education that could shape their future.
