Camping with the family

As the school year draws to an end each year the children at the Bread of Life children’s home become understandably excited. While the older children are taking their final exams, we take the younger ones to a week long Bible camp. For most of them it is the only time that they leave our little village. The look of excitement and joy on the faces of the kids who are going for the first time is priceless. This year, Miruna, Stefan, and Raluca were new. They are siblings, but in the tiIMG_1310-2me they have lived at the orphanage they have become part of the greater family which includes everyone. Even the staff look forward to camp week as we enjoy the beautiful nature that God made for us all. It is a spiritual experience with singing, praying, and Bible stories. The children are encouraged to recognize and imitate good role models from each day’s Bible story. The camp experience can be memorable for any child, but it is especially meaningful to our children who come from such poor and dysfunctional backgrounds. To spend such quality time with them and bond with them as a family is truly priceless. These are things they will always remember.

From Broken to Blessing: Iosif and the Meals on Wheels Ministry

By Alin Panican BOL Co-founder • July 29, 2026
Every day, elderly men and women in the Broșteni, Romania area who have no one to care for them receive a hot meal delivered right to their door. Along with the food comes a warm greeting, a listening ear, and a helping hand from Iosif, who faithfully travels nearly 15 kilometers by bicycle each day, regardless of the weather. For the elderly he visits, the meal meets a practical need, but the visit itself often means even more. It is a reminder that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten. What makes these daily visits especially meaningful is the story of the young man making them.

A Double Joy

By Alin Panican BOL Co-founder • July 29, 2026
If you have ever held a newborn in your arms, you know that few moments in life can match it. Yet the Bible tells us there is one moment that does — the moment a soul is born again. Heaven itself rejoices. Recently, I experienced two such moments in a single church service.
