Remembering You

How do we express just how much we appreciate those who stand with this ministry making it possible for Bread of Life to feed, clothe, and share the love of Christ with needy children, the elderly, and the poor of Romania? This is the task I have been given, and I must confess it is a daunting task to me. To genuinely express how much your prayers and support make a difference is something that is tough to put into words and write down on paper.

The pandemic made travel to visit churches, give updates, and do fundraising impossible during 2020. We are a small ministry, we do not have professional fundraisers or a large budget. We depend on God to move in the hearts of his people to help us keep all of the projects within our ministry going.

Without your prayers and support, none of what we do would happen. Many children would go without food and shelter, many elderly would not be visited, or provided with needed food, the leper community would not have supplies delivered, medical care would not be given, and the list goes on and on. This may seem redundant to hear but is so true. Without God placing us on your heart and you responding to his prompting, we could not minister. We are truly laborers together.

We treasure your involvement and never want to take you for granted. The apostle Paul describes well our feelings in 1 Thessalonians 1:2,3 “We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;”

You are in our hearts and we know that we could not do this without God’s help and those who stand with us. Thank you for all your prayers and support. May God richly bless you here and in heaven to come.

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.
