Cârja – New Feeding Center

The last two years under the COVID pandemic have been challenging for the poor of Romania. All feeding centers were closed under government order, and our program became one of delivering food parcels to families.  

It has been a tough two years when the poor became poorer and the hungry even hungrier. And last December, Romania rose to the top of the list of countries in crisis due to COVID. Things have gently settled to a fragile normal for the first few months of this year, and we dare to restart our feeding programs.

Walking in faith, motivated by the severe poverty we see, and in partnership with the local church and volunteers, we have opened a new feeding program in Cirja. With God’s help, we are feeding, tutoring, and spiritually mentoring 30 children through this new feeding center.  

The focus of our recent ministry updates has given the Ukrainian Crisis a lot of attention, but we have diligently kept BOL projects in motion and even increased them.  

We plead with you to support our Feeding Program and trust that God’s resources can cover the many existing needs.

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

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.
