Matching your Gift for Balaceanca Feeding Center

We do not need to look far to find reasons to be thankful. No matter how wealthy or poor we feel, like the apostle Paul, we acknowledge God above all our circumstances and praise Him.  

I am profoundly touched by the gratitude children in our Feeding Centers show every time we visit them. Sitting in front of a warm bowl of soup means a great deal to them.  

The daily visit to our Bread of Life Feeding Center after school is essential to their life. Here they receive the vital physical, educational, and spiritual nourishment they need.  

P-A1 Among the reasons to be thankful this season, you can mention the impact you make for the least of these in the far land of Romania.  

If you are not yet involved with Bread of Life or want to help make a difference, please consider supporting our new Feeding Center project.  

This month we are busy renovating a new Feeding Center down south in the village of Balaceanca. This feeding center serves 50 children. We have a donor who has given us the opportunity to have a matching campaign for this project. Our goal is to match $5,500 to equal a total of $11,000.  

P2_A1 Renovations can be challenging and expensive so even the smallest donation makes a difference. Maybe you can help with $15 for a bucket of paint, $50 for a pot, or even more for stoves, refrigerators, dishes, and other equipment.   P3_A1

We ask that you join us in restoring hope to this group of children in Balaceanca by spreading the love of God this Thanksgiving with your involvement in this project.  

…For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.  

Philippians 4:11-13

“For I was hungry and you gave me food... I was a stranger and you welcomed me...” — Matthew 25:35 ESV This past February marked four years since the war dramatically changed the lives of millions of people in Ukraine. The world’s response has shifted over time — some still remain deeply engaged, while others have found it difficult to stay connected as the conflict continues.

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

By Alin Panican BOL Co-founder • July 29, 2026
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.
