Restored to Life

You may remember Mihai from previous ministry reports. We shared with you how two years ago, he climbed a medium voltage pole and touched the transformer. As a result, he was electrocuted and fell 18 feet to the ground. Mihai suffered severe injuries to his body, especially the left hand. They transported him to the hospital, but no one thought he would live through the event because of the severity of his injuries. God performed a miracle that day and kept life in his chest. Today and after many months of therapy, he can attend school just like other children.

As we delivered school supplies and hygiene items to the children at the Ten Sticks feeding center, we were delighted to see among the other children, Mihai coming to receive his backpack for the new school year. Praise the Lord for this encouraging site! To see Mihai, who was almost dead now living and ready to attend school, is a reminder of how God can intervene in even the worst situations. We want to thank all our friends that prayed for him. We give glory to God.

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.
