Nourishing Hope, Transforming Lives

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat,

I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,

I was a stranger and you invited me in.”

Matthew 25:35


Have you ever felt the depths of hunger that gnaws relentlessly at the soul? It’s a feeling that lingers, haunting memories.


As stewards in a ministry rescuing and sheltering children, we’ve encountered heart-wrenching scenes. Witnessing children unfamiliar with basic staples like rice or pasta is poignant.


Their expressions, discovering these simple foods for the first time, tell stories of deprivation beyond our comprehension.


Yet, in two decades and over 400 children passing through our care, we stand as living testaments to God’s miracles. Not a single missed meal or night spent hungry, thanks to brothers and sisters in Christ with generous hearts who sacrificed to ensure the Bread of Life children received food, clothes, and education.


Our journey to combat hunger continues. Recent encounters have left us speechless and in tears. During our food deliveries, a friend shared the harrowing hunger levels experienced in war-torn Ukraine.


An older man, desperate and ashamed, turned his back to the delivery team to eat raw rice and vegetables on the spot due to severe hunger. Witnessing such pain makes it impossible to return to everyday life.

This burden now demands to be shared with God’s people – a plea to be the voice for the voiceless and a conduit for God’s miracles. The world’s attention on the war-torn regions of Eastern Europe has waned, but the need for compassion and sustenance remains dire. We implore you to join us in championing the cause of God’s hurting people. 



Consider becoming a vital part of our feeding programs in Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, and Moldova. By addressing the basic needs of the least among us, we open their hearts to God’s word and salvation.


Your donation to our Brother’s Keeper program, whether big or small, is used faithfully and wisely. Together, we persist in fighting hunger for God’s glory, one person at a time. Join us in nourishing hope and transforming lives.

The Power of a Backpack: Restoring Dignity, Opening Doors

By Debora Brown • September 11, 2025
Each fall, children approach the first day of school with nervous anticipation or eager excitement. As a child, I loved school. I remember preparing with a list in hand, carefully choosing pencils and notebooks. We weren’t wealthy, but my parents always found a way. Sadly, many children in Romania don’t get to experience that joy. For them, choosing school supplies or packing a backpack is out of reach. Without basic tools, some can’t attend school at all—missing the education that could shape their future.
