Our village family.

In past newsletters we have told you about our Meals on Wheels program which we run from the Bread of Life Orphanage. The older girls and our kitchen staff cook and prepare meals for some of the poor elderly in our village. The older boys deliver these meals on their bicycles. The children bring to these poor and lonely folks more than just food. They bring their time, their youthful presence, and their friendship. We encourage the children to be good ambassadors for Christ. The children in our program come from poor homes themselves, often worse than the ones they are now delivering aid to. The boys and girls in our children’s home do not feel poor when they are giving and bringing relief to others. Anitei Vasile is one of the elderly people the children visit. He lives by himself trying to get by on a tiny amount he receives from the government. For Vasile and many like him the children have become like family. They give the children just a smile and simple Thank You. In addition to the elderly we also take care of the poor families in our area that really need our help to make it. For all of these God receives the glory as it should be.

Little Miracles in the Middle of Winter

By Dorin Ciocan BOL Children’s Pastor • May 6, 2026
Winter in our region is long and bitterly cold. Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures make even the simple walk to school difficult — especially for children who only have thin summer shoes. At Bread of Life Children’s Home, we are dedicated to meeting the daily needs of the children in our care. During the winter months, heating, utilities, and food become urgent priorities. At times, because of these pressing expenses, replacing personal items like clothing or shoes must wait. Yet even in these moments, we see God working quietly behind the scenes.

The Silent Struggle of Winter

By Cezar Miron BOL Volunteer • May 6, 2026
In northeastern Romania, in Botoșani County, winter does not ask if anyone is ready. It comes suddenly and harshly, with long nights and a cold that seeps into the bones. For many elderly people in isolated villages, each day is a silent struggle — with the cold, with scarcity, with loneliness. Pensions are small, help is rare, and the silence inside their homes feels heavier than the frost outside. In Baranca, Hudești commune, we entered a home that has stayed with us. An almost 80-year-old man, struggling to stay mobile and weakened by illness, lives in very difficult conditions. Yet he is not alone — he cares for his 50-year-old son with a disability, completely dependent on him. A frail father who can barely move continues to carry the weight of caring for his child.

When Winter Should Be Ending… Survival Is Still a Fight

By Alin Panican BOL Co-founder • May 6, 2026
In March, spring begins to appear across America. Days grow longer. Temperatures rise. But in Eastern Europe, winter often lingers — and this year it has been one of the longest and harshest in recent memory. As winter stretches on, the hardest reality sets in. Food reserves are gone. Firewood is nearly finished. Strength is fading. What should be a season of transition instead becomes a test of endurance.
