Praying for our Invisible Team

It is with great joy we share with you our monthly ministry stories about the progress of the children at the orphanage and updates from the different ministry projects in Romania.You know from reading our newsletter reports many of our children grow up, finish their education and move on to form stable Christian families and the fingerprint of your financial contributions and prayers become a part of their life story. But there is also another significant factor contributing to the good reports we share that is not as visible, our educational staff. Those people who work hard behind the scenes to help the good ideas become palpable results and success stories. We want to make them visible and introduce them to you through our newsletters. They are a vital part of our ministry and they need your prayers as they work to mentor and mold these young ones.

This month we would like to introduce our team of daily child care tutors; Sister Iulia, Elena, Nicoleta, Mihaela and Marcela. These women spend every day with the children helping them with homework assignments and teaching them important life responsibilities. As the children return from school the teams of tutors are there to welcome them and from 1 PM to 9 PM each weekday life around the Bread of Life Orphanage abounds with activity much like an ant hill. Many of our children come to us with a history of neglect, carrying in their souls the scars of tragic years prior to their arrival. Our team gets actively involved in teaching them important life responsibilities and overseeing activities scheduled for the children. There are many job titles and descriptions that could describe their roles, but the most important role by far is the role of mother and mentor.

For the past fifteen years this role of mother and mentor has had a great impact on the children’s lives. We thank our team for the diligent efforts they have put forth, sowing into the lives of the little on
es. We encourage you to keep praying for them as they continue their daily work. They are molding eternal souls and need God’s wisdom and love to change the future of these little ones.

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.
