First Day of School

“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”

Psalm 1:3

That important day is here; the first day of the new school year. Emotion is evident on the faces of the little ones. You can see their excitement in each gesture as they form the line for the walk to school.

This day marks a new start for all our ministry children around Romania. Our extended teams at the Bread of Life Home, Youth Transition Program, Feeding Centers, and Ukrainian Refugee Camps are ready and prepared to invest in these children’s lives.

Please join us in prayer for these precious children. We need God’s protection and provision for this school year. We need the blessing of wisdom, strength, and perseverance for our teams as they serve the children in all aspects of life.

If you are searching for specific ways you can bless the children, here are a few urgent needs that you can help with:

  • Bread of Life Home: $35 will feed one of our 60 children for a whole month.
  • Youth Transition Program: $50 will cover one month’s utilities at one of the ten apartments in which we serve over 40 teens
  • Feeding Centers: $100 can bless the children at one of our six ministry feeding centers for a month
  • Helping Ukraine: $250 will cover the gas to deliver the 9 tons of food we already have into Ukraine.

We thank you for enabling Bread of Life Ministries to keep so many children fed, in school, and close to God. We are thankful we can share photos of our children in different programs and trust your partnership in the future.

Aid for the Widows and Elderly

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.
