Our Mission: Rescuing The Lost

In the daily operation of our ministry, we strive to help as many poor children and needy families as we can. Our Feeding Center Program operates in kitchens we have set up in churches located in poor remote villages, many without running water and modern sanitation.   The resources that pass through our hands feed, clothe, and spiritually mentor these forgotten people. Through our Care Package Program, other families receive food, clothing, and hygiene items to use in their homes in hope that these families can stay together.  Many families in Romania do not stay together because of poverty.  One or both parents leave to look for work in other countries.  Sadder still is the harsh reality that many never return to their children.

We recently encountered a group of four brothers who lived through this heartbreak.  Working with local social workers, we arranged to have them brought into the Bread of Life Orphanage. Otherwise they would have been placed in government run orphanages.  The hard conditions in these institutions and fact that the boys could not stay together made this a frightening option for them.  They are now safe in our Christian home, but the road ahead for them has many adjustments and is far from certain.  They have a lot of emotional trauma, but we know that the friendship of the other children and the love from our staff can do miracles.  There is no more important part of our mission than rescuing and nurturing children at risk. Having seen many families like these four boys survive and then thrive, we feel a great sense of hope and our resolve to help is renewed again. God described His love for His people as a hen gathering her chicks under her wings, and this is how we feel about the children entrusted to our care.

Sponsorship at the Bread of Life Home is more than financial support—it is an act of faith that changes lives on both sides of the relationship. When sponsors step forward to pray for, mentor, and invest in a child, they become part of a story of hope, healing, and belonging.

In early 2022, a young mother with a heavy but courageous heart arrived at our door in desperation. She had done all she could, but could no longer provide the food, shelter, and stability her children needed to survive.
