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.

The Priceless Impact of Sponsorship

Sponsorship at the Bread of Life Home is more than financial support—it is an act of faith that changes lives on both sides of the relationship. When sponsors step forward to pray for, mentor, and invest in a child, they become part of a story of hope, healing, and belonging.

Heartbreak to Hope

In early 2022, a young mother with a heavy but courageous heart arrived at our door in desperation. She had done all she could, but could no longer provide the food, shelter, and stability her children needed to survive.
