Witnessing The Resurected Jesus for 20 Years!

  “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven  given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

The Bread of Life Children’s Home Between 2003 – 2023

The journey for the Bread of Life Children’s Home started in the little town of Brosteni, Romania, in 2003 as a response to severe poverty and harmful environments for local children. A handful of people united their hearts and efforts to make a difference for the little ones.  

After arduous months of renovation, we rushed to open the home even though it was only partially complete. We still remember the day we brought in our first group of children. They were just as scared as we were. Little did we know how God’s plan for the Home in Brosteni would unfold. Gradually, over the years, we gained experience and knowledge to serve the children better.  

We give glory to God that for 20 years,   we have had the privilege to:  

  • Become a family of over 350 children between 2003 to 2023.  
  • Care of the needs of many widows and elderly in our area.  
  • Bring blessing and stability to 25 current staff members and their families, and more than 70 over the years.  
  • Receive scholarships for the education of our youth in a Christian high school.  
  • Represent 80% of the youth of the Good News church and actively serve in many positions within the church.  
  • See children benefit educationally, emotionally, and especially spiritually, which is our greatest joy

Little Miracles in the Middle of Winter

By Dorin Ciocan BOL Children’s Pastor • May 6, 2026
Winter in our region is long and bitterly cold. Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures make even the simple walk to school difficult — especially for children who only have thin summer shoes. At Bread of Life Children’s Home, we are dedicated to meeting the daily needs of the children in our care. During the winter months, heating, utilities, and food become urgent priorities. At times, because of these pressing expenses, replacing personal items like clothing or shoes must wait. Yet even in these moments, we see God working quietly behind the scenes.

The Silent Struggle of Winter

By Cezar Miron BOL Volunteer • May 6, 2026
In northeastern Romania, in Botoșani County, winter does not ask if anyone is ready. It comes suddenly and harshly, with long nights and a cold that seeps into the bones. For many elderly people in isolated villages, each day is a silent struggle — with the cold, with scarcity, with loneliness. Pensions are small, help is rare, and the silence inside their homes feels heavier than the frost outside. In Baranca, Hudești commune, we entered a home that has stayed with us. An almost 80-year-old man, struggling to stay mobile and weakened by illness, lives in very difficult conditions. Yet he is not alone — he cares for his 50-year-old son with a disability, completely dependent on him. A frail father who can barely move continues to carry the weight of caring for his child.

When Winter Should Be Ending… Survival Is Still a Fight

By Alin Panican BOL Co-founder • May 6, 2026
In March, spring begins to appear across America. Days grow longer. Temperatures rise. But in Eastern Europe, winter often lingers — and this year it has been one of the longest and harshest in recent memory. As winter stretches on, the hardest reality sets in. Food reserves are gone. Firewood is nearly finished. Strength is fading. What should be a season of transition instead becomes a test of endurance.
