Our Birthday Calendar

Growing up in a large family there were always birthdays and gifts throughout the year.  These good times and good memories helped to strengthen the family bond and make each one of us feel loved and importacopii (1)nt.  At the Bread of Life Orphanage this month we are celebrating the birthdays of all the
children in the photos above/ below.  Some who are new to our family have never had their own birthday celebrated with a party, cake, and presents.  They can be hesitant at first, not sure what to think or how to react.  However, they quickly catch onto the idea and their fce brightens when they see that they are themselves being celebrated.  Your support makes these kind of moments a reality for these boys and girls.  There is one more thing you can do:  Pray for the birthday children each month.  Lift them up in prayer as you would your own child and pray that God blesses them with a rich and full life.

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.
