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

Darius’ Journey: A Story of Faith, Love, and Resilience Darius’ life has been shaped by resilience, unwavering faith, and the power of love. His mother passed away when he was very young, leaving a void that shaped much of his child hood. Growing up in a family that moved frequently due to financial struggles, he learned to find joy in the simple things—playing outside with friends and making the most of each moment. But everything changed when he arrived at the Bread of Life (BOL) Home.
