Changing Lives

“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.”  1 Cor 3:6

     In all that we do through our ministry programs by feeding, clothing, sheltering, counseling,  and mentoring , we have one ultimate goal: to bring the poor children into a close relationship with their heavenly Father. Discipleship is not an easy task and does not happen by merely preaching God’s word. It requires dedication and unconditional love each day for as long as it takes. Together through our efforts , we are fulfilling the planting and watering , but it is God that touches the hearts and makes them grow toward Him.

     In our human impatience , we feel that after planting and watering , the “growing” part should happen quickly. We are so eager for results for His glory that we tend to be disappointed when results are delayed. But Glory to God for His perfect plan and perfect timing. In the village of Harsova we started the feeding program five years ago. Children from this largely Muslim community attend our feeding and Bible programs. Today , five years later , they are no longer children but young adults. It was a great joy to us when a number of them decided to follow Jesus and give their lives to the Lord. Now their faith is growing through discipleship and Bible study. We have learned to keep planting and watering no matter how long it takes;  trusting God that in due time He will make the increase. Please pray for our young people from the Feeding Center that they will continue on their journey in Christ to become more like Him.

The Story Behind the BOL Christian Center

By BOL Team • September 24, 2026
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. 

From Hopelessness to a Purpose and Direction in Life

By Luminita Panican BOL -YTP Coordinator • September 24, 2026
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.
