Wood for the BOL Home Update

We are happy to share that our May firewood appeal has been going very well. We have already received nearly seven truckloads of firewood out of the ten needed. The importance of warmth for our children at the Bread of Life Home in Brosteni can not be overstated.

The BOL Home is on the Bistrita River, nestled between the mountains, and the winter season typically extends over six months. It’s not uncommon for temperatures to plummet below freezing and, on some days, even drop to zero Fahrenheit.

While we rejoice in ordering enough wood for the first part of the winter, we still need to complete the need for the remaining winter months. 

Your support for the remaining three truckloads of wood, which cost $1,110 each, is not just a financial contribution. It’s a testament to God’s glory in our local community, where we have never lacked warmth and have even been able to share our firewood with some of the local elderly. Praise God.

BOL Prayer Calendar 2026

By BOL Team • November 17, 2025
“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Prayer changes things—because prayer moves the heart of God. As we step into 2026, we invite you to join us in praying for Bread of Life—the precious children God has placed in our care and the faithful staff who serve them. Every prayer lifted becomes part of His loving work of transformation. Together, we trust Him for healing, provision, and renewed hope as each child grows in His grace. Our 2026 Prayer Calendar is thoughtfully designed to sit on your desk in a triangular format, keeping prayer close at hand. One side displays the calendar, with the children and staff birthdays clearly circled as a gentle reminder to pause and pray for them on those special days. The inside of the triangle and the bottom portion of the calendar feature photos of the children and staff, putting faces to the prayers you offer as you lift each one before the Lord by name. As you see the calendar each day, we invite you to thank God for their lives and speak blessings over their futures. BOL Team

Sharing the Gift of Love This Christmas

By Debora Brown Volunteer Sponsorship Director • October 21, 2025
As the holiday season draws near, our hearts are filled with gratitude for God’s greatest gift—His Son, Jesus Christ. Christmas reminds us that love came down to dwell among us, and now we have the joy of sharing that same love with others. This year, we invite you to join our Christmas Shoebox Ministry —a simple yet powerful way to bless children in Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Romania. For many, these gifts will be the only ones they receive, but through them they’ll experience the warmth of God’s love and the hope of the gospel.

Even from a young age, they believed that with God’s help, a heart committed to learning, and a willingness to walk in obedience, a better life was possible.
