Never Giving Up On Our Children

Daniel and his brother were brought into the Bread of Life Orphanage in 2009. Their family was in crisis and was facing many difficult situations. The Orphanage was their salvation in those difficult times. For several years they were with us and we tried to help them catch up with school and mold their character. It saddened us deeply when Daniel’s brother made bad choices at school and they had to go back to their hometown school. It breaks our hearts every time we cannot complete our mission with each child we take in.

Even when a child must leave, we still try to stay connected with them, helping and supporting them as much as we can. In Daniel’s situation, God made it possible for us to once again intervene in his young life. When I visited him a few months ago, I talked to him about becoming part of our Youth Transition.  daniel-2016

Program to receive education and spiritual mentoring in the city of Bucharest. He was thrilled to be offered another chance to escape his life of poverty, and grateful that we did not forget about him. Last week I visited Daniel again and we took care of the final details. After he finishes the eighth grade we will enroll him in our YTP. Here he will have the possibility to attend a Christian high school, become part of a local church, and have many good influences in his life. Daniel is very talented with music and he is excited that he will be able to keep learning music and play an instrument in church. Our goal is to help the children acquire life skills they will need and develop a personal relationship with God. Please pray that Daniel will succeed in both areas of life.

But everything changed when he arrived at the Bread of Life (BOL) Home.
