Helping Ukraine – Building Two Food Trucks

He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed;  

for he giveth of his bread to the poor. Proverbs 22:9  

The war in Ukraine is well known to everyone by now. So well known that we risk becoming insensitive to the news reports no matter how bad or severe they are. As this war has negatively impacted global economics and our lives, we must be careful not to focus on our problems and lose sight of how blessed we remain.   P1-A2

Bread of Life in Romania, as a neighbor of Ukraine, has taken the responsibility of pursuing the strenuous task of helping the victims of the war. We have purchased medical supplies and hygiene items and sent a large portion of the aid we have received from our 40+ containers directly into Ukraine.  

The war forced many Ukrainians from their homes with only a bag of clothes. Now they need food and shelter. We have recently purchased two vehicles that will become food trucks. Soon these mobile feeding units will be placed in areas where displaced Ukrainians are taking refuge as we join efforts with local churches to serve those in need.   P2-A2

The initial cost of the food trucks is covered, but now we are responsible for providing food, gas, and labor for the operation of these two food trucks. We estimate a daily need of $70 to operate both trucks. In advance, we appreciate your help in keeping this project running.   P3_A2

Please consider giving $35 for a day, $245 for a week, or $1,050 for a month to feed the children and families fleeing war zones. This small gift takes so little from us yet significantly impacts others and brings glory to God by showing His love in this time of tribulation.

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.
