Bible hour

Every week the Bread of Life staff gathers the children by age group for a time of singing, praying, and Bible stories. We call this time “Ora Biblica” or Bible Hour in English. For the youngest group we use colorful and interesting study aids and materials much as you would see in a Sunday School program in Europe or America. Recently we read the story of Jesus in the Temple at the young age of 12 talking to the teachers and elders. Using the example of the boy Jesus I explained to the children that it is important to seek the Lord even when you are young. As Jesus went to the temple so Christians today go to church. We naturally go to where God’s people are gathered to hear God’s word taught and receive encouragement to put his words into action. If you visit our children’s home during the Bible Hour you will see that the children are very lively and eager to participate. They ask questions and want to know more about the people and events that happened in ancient times.

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

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.
