Helping Ukraine – Building Two Food Trucks

He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed;  

for he giveth of his bread to the poor. Proverbs 22:9  

The war in Ukraine is well known to everyone by now. So well known that we risk becoming insensitive to the news reports no matter how bad or severe they are. As this war has negatively impacted global economics and our lives, we must be careful not to focus on our problems and lose sight of how blessed we remain.   P1-A2

Bread of Life in Romania, as a neighbor of Ukraine, has taken the responsibility of pursuing the strenuous task of helping the victims of the war. We have purchased medical supplies and hygiene items and sent a large portion of the aid we have received from our 40+ containers directly into Ukraine.  

The war forced many Ukrainians from their homes with only a bag of clothes. Now they need food and shelter. We have recently purchased two vehicles that will become food trucks. Soon these mobile feeding units will be placed in areas where displaced Ukrainians are taking refuge as we join efforts with local churches to serve those in need.   P2-A2

The initial cost of the food trucks is covered, but now we are responsible for providing food, gas, and labor for the operation of these two food trucks. We estimate a daily need of $70 to operate both trucks. In advance, we appreciate your help in keeping this project running.   P3_A2

Please consider giving $35 for a day, $245 for a week, or $1,050 for a month to feed the children and families fleeing war zones. This small gift takes so little from us yet significantly impacts others and brings glory to God by showing His love in this time of tribulation.

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.
