Graduation: A Milestone of Hope and a Testament to Grace

For many of us, the word “graduation” brings to mind robes, diplomas, and proud family photos. But for the teenagers who are part of the Bread of Life family, this moment is so much more. It marks a profound achievement, a courageous transition into adulthood, and a first real step toward independence. Their determination inspires us and fills us with joy and pride.

At Bread of Life, we walk alongside teenagers who come from the BOL children’s home and the BOL feeding centers with very challenging backgrounds prior to being in our care. That’s why we are committed to supporting their education—not just so they can receive a diploma, but so they can build a genuine path to a brighter, more stable future.

We emphasize education because we believe it is one of the most powerful keys to freedom, autonomy, and dignity. We encourage each student to discover their potential, to dream boldly yet wisely, and to find their place—whether it’s in a university or a workplace where they can learn, grow, and contribute.

And we do not walk this road alone. We are deeply thankful to every donor and partner who has chosen to invest in these young lives over the years. Your generosity has made a lasting difference—providing books, meals, mentors, and safe places to grow. Because of you, these teenagers not only had the chance to stay in school, but to thrive. Your support is changing generations.

Above all, we give glory to God, who has been faithful at every step. He has opened doors we never expected, brought healing where there was hurt, and lifted up lives from despair to hope. Each graduate is a living testimony to His grace and provision.

For us, graduation is not a goodbye—it’s a celebration. A celebration of what has been accomplished, and a prayerful hope for what lies ahead. The relationships built with love and patience do not end with high school—they continue to grow, deepen, and bear fruit.

The Power of a Backpack: Restoring Dignity, Opening Doors

By Debora Brown • September 11, 2025
Each fall, children approach the first day of school with nervous anticipation or eager excitement. As a child, I loved school. I remember preparing with a list in hand, carefully choosing pencils and notebooks. We weren’t wealthy, but my parents always found a way. Sadly, many children in Romania don’t get to experience that joy. For them, choosing school supplies or packing a backpack is out of reach. Without basic tools, some can’t attend school at all—missing the education that could shape their future.
