Andreea’s Story

 

Andreea’s story is one of success. She grew up at the Bread of Life Children’s Home after her parents sent her, along with several of her siblings, here. She comes from a family with 16 children living in a village far from civilization and little to no opportunity to make it out.
Andreea graduated high school in May 2019 while living in Bucharest with the Youth Transition Program. After graduation, Andreea faced the same question every fresh graduate does, “What do I need and want to do now?”. After discussions with our staff, she narrowed her interests to cosmetology and working with children. To help her get some experience and see if working with children is something she would like to pursue in college, she joined the staff in Brosteni at the Children’s Home for one year as a tutor for a small group of girls. This position was considered an “internship” due to her being so young and not having work experience. However, after just one month into the school year, she had exceeded all expectations we could have ever had for a 19-year-old who just stepped into the world of work. She is now among the top tutors in the Home.

Andreea’s internship commitment was for one year. She intended to pursue cosmetology and planned to move back to Bucharest to begin her studies. To my pleasant surprise, she recently changed this plan and decided to extend her involvement with the BOL Home for another year. My prayer for Andreea is that whatever path she chooses in the future, she will work hard for God’s glory as she has done in her time at BOL. This is our mission: to raise up a Christian generation in Romania with a heart for God and a heart for His people.

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do,
do it all for the glory of God.”
1 Corinthians 10:31 (NIV)

Aid for the Widows and Elderly

By George Robitu, BOL Co - founder • January 17, 2025
God’s Word instructs us to care for the vulnerable, especially the widows and elderly. Psalm 56:8 states, “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle.” Inspired by this, the Bread of Life ministry extends compassion to the elderly, who often go unnoticed despite their sacrifices and hard work in earlier years.
