Matching your Gift for Balaceanca Feeding Center

We do not need to look far to find reasons to be thankful. No matter how wealthy or poor we feel, like the apostle Paul, we acknowledge God above all our circumstances and praise Him.  

I am profoundly touched by the gratitude children in our Feeding Centers show every time we visit them. Sitting in front of a warm bowl of soup means a great deal to them.  

The daily visit to our Bread of Life Feeding Center after school is essential to their life. Here they receive the vital physical, educational, and spiritual nourishment they need.  

P-A1 Among the reasons to be thankful this season, you can mention the impact you make for the least of these in the far land of Romania.  

If you are not yet involved with Bread of Life or want to help make a difference, please consider supporting our new Feeding Center project.  

This month we are busy renovating a new Feeding Center down south in the village of Balaceanca. This feeding center serves 50 children. We have a donor who has given us the opportunity to have a matching campaign for this project. Our goal is to match $5,500 to equal a total of $11,000.  

P2_A1 Renovations can be challenging and expensive so even the smallest donation makes a difference. Maybe you can help with $15 for a bucket of paint, $50 for a pot, or even more for stoves, refrigerators, dishes, and other equipment.   P3_A1

We ask that you join us in restoring hope to this group of children in Balaceanca by spreading the love of God this Thanksgiving with your involvement in this project.  

…For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.  

Philippians 4:11-13

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.
