Help for Ukraine Continues

Communism fell in Romania in December 1989. Even though I was only eight, I still remember many details about our life before the revolution and the difficult years that followed.

Growing up in a big family, we faced many difficulties during that time, and providing food was a pressing struggle. One vivid memory I recall is of the food boxes we regularly received after the revolution. I remember the excitement my siblings and I had as we would gather around to see what was inside.

Today Christians in Ukraine are struggling to survive and cope with the effects of the war. The food boxes and aid we deliver help sustain the lives of their little ones. Never did I dream the experiences I faced as an eight-year-old, eagerly looking into a food box, would 30 years later be used by God to motivate us to do the same thing for the poor of Ukraine.

Many organizations helping in the first weeks of the war are no longer active. It is up to us, God’s children, to keep the support going for the hurting.

You can get involved and help with $35 to cover a food box with half a month’s supply of food or $70 for a food box that feeds a family of 7 members the entire month. Any other help you feel led to offer will enable us tocontinue our involvement in Ukraine.

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.
