Missions Through Education

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.  (Proverbs 2:1-5)

Often we think of a Christian’s mission as taking the gospel to those who have never heard it so that they can be saved and spiritually transformed. After that they just need to pray, read the Bible, and attend church. While these are clearly core elements of our Christian duty there are other aspects of our mission as members of God’s kingdom. Education, especially when working with children, is an example. I got involved with Bread of Life’s Feeding Center program because I saw that children were being helped in all areas of life including their education. Encouraging children to improve their education and learn life skills at the same time they hear God’s word and receive good nutrition really makes the Feeding Center program effective and unique. In the year I have been involved, I have seen the children’s progress and how much they have recovered since Bread of Life reached them. I am convinced that God’s work in their lives will continue to be blessed as they continue their education which is one of the pillars in our Christian mission, in our family life, and in our society.

    It is our desire for all young adults to have renewed spirits, and to develop good characters that show in all aspects of their lives. Even at this early stage of their lives we encourage them to demonstrate their Christian faith to others through their school work and study habits. Our Christian mission through education testifies that we are ready to serve God not only with our hearts and emotions, but also with our minds, using all that He gave us.

     It is never too late to learn and serve God more. By working toward our vision of education ministry, our children will be able to break the cycle of poverty and eventually have Christian families of their own.

BOL Prayer Calendar 2026

By BOL Team • November 17, 2025
“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Prayer changes things—because prayer moves the heart of God. As we step into 2026, we invite you to join us in praying for Bread of Life—the precious children God has placed in our care and the faithful staff who serve them. Every prayer lifted becomes part of His loving work of transformation. Together, we trust Him for healing, provision, and renewed hope as each child grows in His grace. Our 2026 Prayer Calendar is thoughtfully designed to sit on your desk in a triangular format, keeping prayer close at hand. One side displays the calendar, with the children and staff birthdays clearly circled as a gentle reminder to pause and pray for them on those special days. The inside of the triangle and the bottom portion of the calendar feature photos of the children and staff, putting faces to the prayers you offer as you lift each one before the Lord by name. As you see the calendar each day, we invite you to thank God for their lives and speak blessings over their futures. BOL Team

Sharing the Gift of Love This Christmas

By Debora Brown Volunteer Sponsorship Director • October 21, 2025
As the holiday season draws near, our hearts are filled with gratitude for God’s greatest gift—His Son, Jesus Christ. Christmas reminds us that love came down to dwell among us, and now we have the joy of sharing that same love with others. This year, we invite you to join our Christmas Shoebox Ministry —a simple yet powerful way to bless children in Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Romania. For many, these gifts will be the only ones they receive, but through them they’ll experience the warmth of God’s love and the hope of the gospel.
