With God All Things Are Possible

One of the main things Bread of Life is known for among our supporters and within our own community is rescuing children who come from broken and dysfunctional homes.  When they first come to live in our children’s home, the trauma and neglect are easy to see.  As an example, a seven year old who does not know the days of the week or even how old he is.  It is heartbreaking to think of children failing their very first year in school.  Many are stunted by the neglect and bad lifestyle of their parents.  We know however that they are still precious in our Saviour’s eyes.  We must and we will continue working with each child until they have reached their full potential.

There are times when our best efforts don’t seem to be enough.  A few of the children receive an outpouring of love and attention and hours of tutoring without showing much progress.  Then there are moments when all of our investment and hard work pay off, making our heart sing.  One such moment happened this year when the youngest group of girls received outstanding marks for their year-end report card. It is hard to say if it was the children or their tutors who were more proud or more encouraged.  Yes, it is possible to recover a child once lost to poverty, abuse, and neglect.  With the mercy of their Saviour and ours and the help of our supporters these things are possible!  We thank God for each small victory over Satan.  We treasure your partnership and prayers.  Together we make a real difference in the lives of these little ones.

Child with shoebox gift
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.

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.

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.
