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.

She knew that at the BOL Home, Simona and Florin would be loved, clothed, fed, and educated.


Family situations like this are never easy. Looking into Simona’s eyes that day, you could see the pain and loss she carried. Leaving home at such a young age, adjusting to new routines, and learning to trust again requires time, patience, and consistency.

Today, when you interact with Simona, you notice the brightness in her eyes and the joy that now defines her spirit. She is learning, growing, and laughing. In short, she is thriving.



Stories of transformation like Simona’s do not happen by chance. ey happen because of you. Because of your faithful support, stories like Simona’s, heartbreak to hope, are possible every day.

We look ahead to 2026, anticipating what God has planned. But we also pause to give thanks for the many miracles God accomplished through your partnership in 2025.


Rejoice with us for 2025—and pray with us for 2026—as we step forward in faith, trusting God for another year of abundant kingdom work.

“For I was hungry and you gave me food... I was a stranger and you welcomed me...” — Matthew 25:35 ESV This past February marked four years since the war dramatically changed the lives of millions of people in 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

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.
