Changing Lives

“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.”  1 Cor 3:6

     In all that we do through our ministry programs by feeding, clothing, sheltering, counseling,  and mentoring , we have one ultimate goal: to bring the poor children into a close relationship with their heavenly Father. Discipleship is not an easy task and does not happen by merely preaching God’s word. It requires dedication and unconditional love each day for as long as it takes. Together through our efforts , we are fulfilling the planting and watering , but it is God that touches the hearts and makes them grow toward Him.

     In our human impatience , we feel that after planting and watering , the “growing” part should happen quickly. We are so eager for results for His glory that we tend to be disappointed when results are delayed. But Glory to God for His perfect plan and perfect timing. In the village of Harsova we started the feeding program five years ago. Children from this largely Muslim community attend our feeding and Bible programs. Today , five years later , they are no longer children but young adults. It was a great joy to us when a number of them decided to follow Jesus and give their lives to the Lord. Now their faith is growing through discipleship and Bible study. We have learned to keep planting and watering no matter how long it takes;  trusting God that in due time He will make the increase. Please pray for our young people from the Feeding Center that they will continue on their journey in Christ to become more like Him.

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.
