Ukraine Field Report

A few months ago, I had the privilege of accompanying our BOL team to deliver food to Ukraine. Our trip began at our warehouse in Bucharest with multiple loaded trucks and trailers headed toward our destination, Ismail, Ukraine. Ismail is in the southwest corner of Ukraine and is relatively safe.

As you know, many living in Ukraine are facing manifold hardships and suffering because of the ongoing conflict there.


Many have left everything and have fled to a safer place. And some stayed behind; either way, many are destitute and need help and encouragement. Like a Christian man, I met there whose family had come under attack twice. On one occasion, his 4-year-old daughter suffered severe burns, and the other time, his 2-year-old son was injured. His son is all right now, but after a lengthy hospital stay, his daughter still has a long way to go. They are praying for a miracle. 


Please keep praying for the peace of Ukraine.

From Broken to Blessing: Iosif and the Meals on Wheels Ministry

By Alin Panican BOL Co-founder • July 29, 2026
Every day, elderly men and women in the Broșteni, Romania area who have no one to care for them receive a hot meal delivered right to their door. Along with the food comes a warm greeting, a listening ear, and a helping hand from Iosif, who faithfully travels nearly 15 kilometers by bicycle each day, regardless of the weather. For the elderly he visits, the meal meets a practical need, but the visit itself often means even more. It is a reminder that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten. What makes these daily visits especially meaningful is the story of the young man making them.

A Double Joy

By Alin Panican BOL Co-founder • July 29, 2026
If you have ever held a newborn in your arms, you know that few moments in life can match it. Yet the Bible tells us there is one moment that does — the moment a soul is born again. Heaven itself rejoices. Recently, I experienced two such moments in a single church service.
