For God’s Glory

“ For of him, and through him, and to him,  are  all things: to whom  be glory for ever. Amen” Romans 11:36

At each years end we take the time to look back and draw some conclusions. Having the financial stability needed to operate several major projects at the same time is our biggest miracle. Yes, there is always some stretching needed; but as the Bible says in Ecclesiastics 4: “a threefold cord is not quickly broken”.  Bread of Life is still a small organization but keeping our size small gives us more resources to take care of the poor. Please excuse us if it sounds biased but we believe that through our joined efforts during 2017 the Heavens are rejoicing now. In Luke 15:7a we read “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth”.  

We believe the thing that makes Bread of Life unique is that we are a ministry for life. We consider it our privilege and responsibility to take abandoned children, or children from broken and dysfunctional homes and help them make it through life, acquiring education, skills and most importantly, developing Christian character needed to break the cycle of poverty and sin to become independent adult Christian families. What a joy it is for us when we see hopeless children making it through the maze of life and not repeating the mistakes of previous generations. If this brings us so much joy, I can only imagine what goes on in Heaven.   

During 2017, we have seen our family of 64 children at the Bread of Life Home diligently cared for every day. Close to 3,000 children through our feeding programs have had the Bible shared with them. We helped feed, clothe, and care for these children using the seven containers of food and clothing we received. We are also happy to report that in 2017 we saw some of these children dedicate their life to God. Many elderly people and those in the leper village helped, and about 2,500 shoebox gifts and much Christian literature distributed to poor children in remote villages. All of these things were done by God’s grace and for His glory.

Your love and dedication for Bread of Life projects honors and humbles us and we feel encouraged to press on. We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do and we do not take your involvement for granted. We are committed to Christian values investing our lives for the poor and needy. We thank you for choosing to be a part of Bread of Life in 2017. God bless you dear friend.

Little Miracles in the Middle of Winter

By Dorin Ciocan BOL Children’s Pastor • May 6, 2026
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.

The Silent Struggle of Winter

By Cezar Miron BOL Volunteer • May 6, 2026
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.

When Winter Should Be Ending… Survival Is Still a Fight

By Alin Panican BOL Co-founder • May 6, 2026
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.
