Remembering the Elderly

 

One of the most affected groups of this pandemic is the elderly. Due to their vulnerable health, the virus is fatal to many of them, but far more dangerous to them is the extended isolation. Sadly Romania does not have a system to shelter them and care for their needs, and there are so many who need assistance and food during this time. Around our BOLCH and Feeding Centers, there are many elderly that are suffering and living in inhumane conditions.

It is so sad to see that after giving all their life energy to others, family, community, or the state, now, when their strength is gone, their life is ignored, and they suffer hunger and live in cold, filthy conditions.
We plead with you for their cause. The severe financial times push us to stay within the boundaries of paying bills and making sure the children are well, but we need to take this step of faith and reach out to the elderly.

We need your help to make food parcels for our elderly. With only $30, we can supply them with the basics for almost a month. Thank you for prayerfully considering this need.

Child with shoebox gift

The Joy Giving Brings

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.

The Story Behind the BOL Christian Center

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. 

From Hopelessness to a Purpose and Direction in Life

By Luminita Panican BOL -YTP Coordinator • September 24, 2026
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.
