Cârja – New Feeding Center

The last two years under the COVID pandemic have been challenging for the poor of Romania. All feeding centers were closed under government order, and our program became one of delivering food parcels to families.  

It has been a tough two years when the poor became poorer and the hungry even hungrier. And last December, Romania rose to the top of the list of countries in crisis due to COVID. Things have gently settled to a fragile normal for the first few months of this year, and we dare to restart our feeding programs.

Walking in faith, motivated by the severe poverty we see, and in partnership with the local church and volunteers, we have opened a new feeding program in Cirja. With God’s help, we are feeding, tutoring, and spiritually mentoring 30 children through this new feeding center.  

The focus of our recent ministry updates has given the Ukrainian Crisis a lot of attention, but we have diligently kept BOL projects in motion and even increased them.  

We plead with you to support our Feeding Program and trust that God’s resources can cover the many existing needs.

As the holiday season draws near, our hearts are filled with gratitude for God’s greatest gift—His Son, Jesus Christ. Christmas reminds us that love came down to dwell among us, and now we have the joy of sharing that same love with others. This year, we invite you to join our Christmas Shoebox Ministry —a simple yet powerful way to bless children in Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Romania. For many, these gifts will be the only ones they receive, but through them they’ll experience the warmth of God’s love and the hope of the gospel.
