Lessons From the Garden

Many from my generation cherish memories of gardening with parents and grandparents. I, too, fondly remember gardening with my family, and the lessons I learned have served me well.

At the BOLCH, our children learn the same lessons from our dedicated staff. These lessons apply to gardening and life, and if understood and heeded, will benefit them in the future. Some may even develop skills with which they can sustain themselves as adults.

Our children are learning that gardens demand constant care to prevent weeds from overpowering the good plants, that sunshine and rain are necessary, and the joy of completing a task well. As these children are learning to garden, we, as their mentors, are also learning.

We sow into them, continually planting seeds, cultivating their hearts, watering their souls, and nourishing their growth. We patiently wait for the Spirit of the Lord to bring the harvest, understanding that the process takes time. Let us continue tending the garden of these children together, with unwavering patience and dedication, eagerly awaiting the harvest.

Aid for the Widows and Elderly

By George Robitu, BOL Co - founder • January 17, 2025
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.
