Fabian, our new family member

I want to introduce you to our new family member, 5 year old Fabian. He is from a needy family that lives in an apartment here in Brosteni where the Bread of Life Orphanage is located. His parents are unemployed and unfortunately spend from their meager resources to buy expensive cigarettes. Needless to say, their living quarters are very poor and leave a lot to be desired. Our hearts went out to this little boy who was sometimes sent by his mother to buy cigarettes when he was hungry and there was no food in the house. We made room for him in the orphanage and in our hearts.

Fabian is a dear child and expresses his gratitude by his smiles as he enjoys nutritious meals and a clean home. When he comes home from Kindergarten there is a warm place and many friends to welcome him. He has adjusted quickly to life in the orphanage where he was greeted by his two older brothers: Marian- 13, and Teo- 11 who have been at our children’s home since 2009.

Perhaps the most important change in Fabian’s life is that he now takes part in the daily devotional where he learns Bible stories and learns to pray and sing to God. Here Fabian learns that God loves him, and has a plan for his life. Please pray that Fabian will fulfill that plan and reap the blessings God has in store for him, now and for eternity!

“For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever” [Ps 9:18].

The Priceless Impact of Sponsorship

By Debora Brown Volunteer Sponsorship Director • February 2, 2026
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.

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.
