Remembering the Elderly

 

One of the most affected groups of this pandemic is the elderly. Due to their vulnerable health, the virus is fatal to many of them, but far more dangerous to them is the extended isolation. Sadly Romania does not have a system to shelter them and care for their needs, and there are so many who need assistance and food during this time. Around our BOLCH and Feeding Centers, there are many elderly that are suffering and living in inhumane conditions.

It is so sad to see that after giving all their life energy to others, family, community, or the state, now, when their strength is gone, their life is ignored, and they suffer hunger and live in cold, filthy conditions.
We plead with you for their cause. The severe financial times push us to stay within the boundaries of paying bills and making sure the children are well, but we need to take this step of faith and reach out to the elderly.

We need your help to make food parcels for our elderly. With only $30, we can supply them with the basics for almost a month. Thank you for prayerfully considering this need.

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.
