Back to School During the Pandemic

 

It is interesting to see how during times of crisis, the cliché of “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer” seems to become very true. During the last six months, the life of the poor in Romania has indeed reached a new low. On the premise of isolation and social distancing, many families now have little to no income. With the uncertainty of what school will look like when they open on September 14, the hopelessness of many families grows. It is simple math, how can you think of school supplies when you have no food on the table? Along with the pressure of COVID-19, they will also need to have extra items such as masks, disinfectants, and hygiene supplies. Many children and low-income families will have no solution to this problem, forcing them to abandon school.

We can be God’s tool providing hope for these children. We can supply a backpack with school supplies and the much-needed hygiene and protection items for only $20 per child.

Please consider making a difference for one of the children in our feeding program or a poor family by donating toward the We Care Project.

From Broken to Blessing: Iosif and the Meals on Wheels Ministry

By Alin Panican BOL Co-founder • July 29, 2026
Every day, elderly men and women in the Broșteni, Romania area who have no one to care for them receive a hot meal delivered right to their door. Along with the food comes a warm greeting, a listening ear, and a helping hand from Iosif, who faithfully travels nearly 15 kilometers by bicycle each day, regardless of the weather. For the elderly he visits, the meal meets a practical need, but the visit itself often means even more. It is a reminder that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten. What makes these daily visits especially meaningful is the story of the young man making them.

A Double Joy

By Alin Panican BOL Co-founder • July 29, 2026
If you have ever held a newborn in your arms, you know that few moments in life can match it. Yet the Bible tells us there is one moment that does — the moment a soul is born again. Heaven itself rejoices. Recently, I experienced two such moments in a single church service.
