Remembering You

How do we express just how much we appreciate those who stand with this ministry making it possible for Bread of Life to feed, clothe, and share the love of Christ with needy children, the elderly, and the poor of Romania? This is the task I have been given, and I must confess it is a daunting task to me. To genuinely express how much your prayers and support make a difference is something that is tough to put into words and write down on paper.

The pandemic made travel to visit churches, give updates, and do fundraising impossible during 2020. We are a small ministry, we do not have professional fundraisers or a large budget. We depend on God to move in the hearts of his people to help us keep all of the projects within our ministry going.

Without your prayers and support, none of what we do would happen. Many children would go without food and shelter, many elderly would not be visited, or provided with needed food, the leper community would not have supplies delivered, medical care would not be given, and the list goes on and on. This may seem redundant to hear but is so true. Without God placing us on your heart and you responding to his prompting, we could not minister. We are truly laborers together.

We treasure your involvement and never want to take you for granted. The apostle Paul describes well our feelings in 1 Thessalonians 1:2,3 “We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;”

You are in our hearts and we know that we could not do this without God’s help and those who stand with us. Thank you for all your prayers and support. May God richly bless you here and in heaven to come.

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

By BOL Team • September 24, 2026
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.
