Paris to Romania

 

From Paris to Romania to America, Islamic Extremism is the most talked about story in the news.  Fear, frustration, and anger are prompting local and national governments to take precautions which they would normally not want to take.  Surveillance, profiling, and restrictions are all options which are being considered.  As the heated debate about how to balance rights and security rages on, waves of refugees keep coming to Europe. As Christians, we recognize that there is a spiritual battle behind all the horrible events we hear about daily.  Satan has a plan to kill and destroy.  We live in the inharsova fctensity of the moment as each event is seen live in the media. Still we want to remain faithful to the word of God.  We want to fulfill our Christian calling even to enemies of the Christian faith.  One of our Feeding Centers is
located in a mostly Muslim community which we will not name for their protection.   We believe that showing them Jesus’ love in action is our best chance to lead them to him.  The Feeding Center in this village has been operating now for several years.  It is obvious that the character of the children and adults who are involved in this ongoing program is being influenced by God’s love.  Our heart is full of joy when we see the children enjoying a hot nutritious meal, singing Christian songs, and thanking God for his amazing blessings.   This is Bread of Life’s response to the current crisis.  This is your response.  I just wanted to remind you friends that you are helping in ways you may not have realized.

Child with shoebox gift

The Joy Giving Brings

By BOL Team • September 24, 2026
There is something special about watching a child open a Christmas gift.  I have had the privilege of watching children receive Christmas shoeboxes many times over the years, but the excitement never gets old. A carefully wrapped box lands in their hands, and suddenly the air fills with anticipation and curiosity. Then you see smiles that seem to grow bigger with every item they discover. For some of these children, receiving a gift is not something they expect. They didn't earn it. They didn't do anything to deserve it. Someone they may never meet chose to give because they wanted that child to experience the joy of Christmas. Perhaps that is one reason these moments touch me so deeply.

The Story Behind the BOL Christian Center

By BOL Team • September 24, 2026
What Is the BOL Christian Center? Some dreams start small. Ours started as an impossible one — a home in Bucharest where teenagers from broken, poverty stricken backgrounds could finally have a stable place to live, grow, and become who God made them to be. 

From Hopelessness to a Purpose and Direction in Life

By Luminita Panican BOL -YTP Coordinator • September 24, 2026
At the beginning of the journey, the word that best described these kids was helplessness. When you start life in an environment shaped by severe hardship, the future feels less like a promise and more like a threat. For the five young people in our community who graduated high school this summer, the starting line was a painful one. Behind their eyes lay realities too heavy for any child to carry: a girl who had to find her courage within an abusive family, and boys who grew up without the warm embrace of a mother. For them, education and finishing school seemed like a distant dream.
