Completing the Youth Transition Program

The Bread of Life staff and supporters who keep the Youth Transition Program running feel a special sense of satisfaction when the “transition” is complete in the life of a young man or woman.  Cati has now come to that point in her life.  She recently married Mihai who is a Christian brother known to the ministry.  Together they are equipped for the responsibilities of adult life and are ready to build a Christian home.  Cati came to us from another Christian orphanage so we are by no means the only ones influencing  the direction of her life.  This reminds us of what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 3:  “ I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that plants anything, neither he that waters; but God who gives the increase.”  

We are proud of Cati who worked hard for years to overcome many obstacles.  We will continue to be there for Cati and Mihai as they enter a new chapter of their life together. We give glory to God for them. We hope our ministry family will share our excitement knowing that sacrifices by many supporters made this possible. In the business of saving children, we love to win, knowing “we did not run in vain nor fight with the wind.”  This is the end result when we find the time and resources to sustain and bless each other in Jesus’ name.

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.
