Needing Wood for Winter

Just as the warmth of God’s love surrounds us like a comforting embrace, the children can feel that embrace warmed by the firewood our faithful supporters provide each year. It is a tangible reminder of God’s care and provision.

Last winter, you helped us keep the Bread of Life Home, a sanctuary of warmth and comfort for the children in our care. As always, your support was a beacon of hope, and we are deeply grateful for your kindness.

As we prepare for this coming winter, we again need your help. Although Romania had a mild winter last year, allowing us to reserve some wood, we still need to replenish our supply to ensure no child is cold this year. We need to purchase ten truckloads of firewood to prepare for winter 2024. The price of firewood rose this year to $1110 per truckload.

We ask you to join us again this year to provide for the heating needs of the BOL Home. Your support enables us to secure the necessary firewood to keep the flames of hope burning bright. And your contribution, whether large or small, helps continue our mission of giving love and warmth to those in need.


Please consider donating to our firewood project today. Your contribution will make a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve, echoing Hebrews 13:16, “Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.”


We appreciate your support.

The Joy Giving Brings

By BOL Team • September 24, 2026
There is something special about watching a child open a Christmas gift.  I have had the privilege of watching children receive Christmas shoeboxes many times over the years, but the excitement never gets old. A carefully wrapped box lands in their hands, and suddenly the air fills with anticipation and curiosity. Then you see smiles that seem to grow bigger with every item they discover. For some of these children, receiving a gift is not something they expect. They didn't earn it. They didn't do anything to deserve it. Someone they may never meet chose to give because they wanted that child to experience the joy of Christmas. Perhaps that is one reason these moments touch me so deeply.

The Story Behind the BOL Christian Center

By BOL Team • September 24, 2026
What Is the BOL Christian Center? Some dreams start small. Ours started as an impossible one — a home in Bucharest where teenagers from broken, poverty stricken backgrounds could finally have a stable place to live, grow, and become who God made them to be. 

From Hopelessness to a Purpose and Direction in Life

At the beginning of the journey, the word that best described these kids was helplessness. When you start life in an environment shaped by severe hardship, the future feels less like a promise and more like a threat. For the five young people in our community who graduated high school this summer, the starting line was a painful one. Behind their eyes lay realities too heavy for any child to carry: a girl who had to find her courage within an abusive family, and boys who grew up without the warm embrace of a mother. For them, education and finishing school seemed like a distant dream.
