Special Invitation to Join the Bread of Life Feeding Program

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Mathew 6:26

 

It is interesting to see the contrasts of our modern days. We have the pick of the technology era, where the internet connects us from Romania to the US or other places instantly, planes flying everywhere, electric cars that drive themselves, smartphones, drones, and so on. But, while having all of these, not too far from the developed towns of Romania, we find so many people struggling to meet the bare necessities of life. In these places, life seems to be stuck in a time hundreds of years ago. Problems of many kinds, from unemployment, sickness, or abandonment, threaten the lives of so many children and families.

We know God could miraculously take care of all of them, but he has equipped us as His body, to take care of each other. Just as it states in Ephesians 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. We believe we have the honor to be part of God’s body, helping and loving the weaker parts.

We are thankful for all those who have been responded to our calls in the past to get involved and help us get needed refrigerators, freezers, and a refrigerated vehicle to transport food. We have managed to purchase these and install them in three of our feeding centers. Isn’t it amazing to know that now over 100 children are blessed with food and spiritual guidance because of your involvement? Thank you!

As we continuously go into remote villages with aid and see the pressing need for these children to receive a nutritious meal each day, it is so hard to turn around and leave. The only thought that keeps us motivated is that by sharing these reports with you, we could soon come back and do something for them. We need $750 for each new feeding center to buy a refrigerator and freezer plus operating equipment. The monthly operation of a feeding center that feeds 100 children is around $340 (in addition to the food supplies we already have). Our urgent need is to open three more feeding centers.

We share this with our brothers and sisters, knowing that it is not clever wording that stirs your hearts, but God, who speaks to you and motivates you to become involved and make a difference. We are merely His messengers presenting the needs of the poor in Romania.

We thank you for reading our appeal and ask that you prayerfully consider partnering with us at Bread of Life Ministries. We are ready to clothe and feed God’s children, and together we can make a difference!

God bless you.

Child with shoebox gift
By BOL Team • September 24, 2026
There is something special about watching a child open a Christmas gift.  I have had the privilege of watching children receive Christmas shoeboxes many times over the years, but the excitement never gets old. A carefully wrapped box lands in their hands, and suddenly the air fills with anticipation and curiosity. Then you see smiles that seem to grow bigger with every item they discover. For some of these children, receiving a gift is not something they expect. They didn't earn it. They didn't do anything to deserve it. Someone they may never meet chose to give because they wanted that child to experience the joy of Christmas. Perhaps that is one reason these moments touch me so deeply.

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.

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.
