ANNOUNCEMENTS AND PRAYER REQUESTS
- Please pray for Iasmina, a girl in her early teens at the Bread of Life Orphanage. She has a medical condition with her spine which requires treatment at the Hospital in Bucharest. After that she will need to wear a special brace and have follow up therapy. Ask God to heal her and bless her with a strong body.
- By now you have noticed how encouraged and even excited we are about the Youth
Transition Program we operate for young men and women as they leave the Orphanage.
Please help us to raise enough to buy two apartments at a cost of $75,000 each. Pray that hearts will be moved with a desire to help youth change their life story. Our goal is to be ready to house all our sons and daughters in September who need guidance on the last leg of their journey to an adult Christian life. - The children at the Bread of Life Orphanage have crafted Bible posters and cards to share with you to show their appreciation for all you do for them. If you would like to receive one or more to hang up in your home or church at no charge, please let us know. Please send us your request with the enclosed envelope or by email: contact@bolorphanage.org

Winter in our region is long and bitterly cold. Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures make even the simple walk to school difficult — especially for children who only have thin summer shoes. At Bread of Life Children’s Home, we are dedicated to meeting the daily needs of the children in our care. During the winter months, heating, utilities, and food become urgent priorities. At times, because of these pressing expenses, replacing personal items like clothing or shoes must wait. Yet even in these moments, we see God working quietly behind the scenes.
In northeastern Romania, in Botoșani County, winter does not ask if anyone is ready. It comes suddenly and harshly, with long nights and a cold that seeps into the bones. For many elderly people in isolated villages, each day is a silent struggle — with the cold, with scarcity, with loneliness. Pensions are small, help is rare, and the silence inside their homes feels heavier than the frost outside. In Baranca, Hudești commune, we entered a home that has stayed with us. An almost 80-year-old man, struggling to stay mobile and weakened by illness, lives in very difficult conditions. Yet he is not alone — he cares for his 50-year-old son with a disability, completely dependent on him. A frail father who can barely move continues to carry the weight of caring for his child.
In March, spring begins to appear across America. Days grow longer. Temperatures rise. But in Eastern Europe, winter often lingers — and this year it has been one of the longest and harshest in recent memory. As winter stretches on, the hardest reality sets in. Food reserves are gone. Firewood is nearly finished. Strength is fading. What should be a season of transition instead becomes a test of endurance.
