Our New Home
But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33
Our Youth Transition Ministry in Bucharest, Romania, is entering a new phase. With your help and God’s blessing, we are moving the first three boys, Abel, Darius, and Mario, into the new rooms we have prepared at the Bread of Life Christian Center. More will follow in the next few months.
It is incredible to see God’s perfect plan for their lives. He always had a solution prepared for the crises and needs they faced growing up. It is encouraging for our team to see the better direction their lives have taken since they joined our youth ministry. All of them are young Christians but serious about following and serving God.
The renovation of the BOL Christian Center has been an amazing journey thus far, and we invite you to join us as it continues. We are waiting for the state approvals to start Phase #2, which will add another level to the existing structure.
We are blessed to have a matching project on this phase and only need to raise half of the funds to complete Phase #2. We anticipate the final cost for the five apartments to be around $25,000 each. This unique matching opportunity is available for the next few months.
Thank you for joining us as the tools God uses to shape the future generation. Our current overextended BOL Youth Team has exceeded 50 teens, and we are looking at rapid growth in the years to come. Seeing the Christian Center renovation progressing to house these teens is the miracle we are living.

“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Prayer changes things—because prayer moves the heart of God. As we step into 2026, we invite you to join us in praying for Bread of Life—the precious children God has placed in our care and the faithful staff who serve them. Every prayer lifted becomes part of His loving work of transformation. Together, we trust Him for healing, provision, and renewed hope as each child grows in His grace. Our 2026 Prayer Calendar is thoughtfully designed to sit on your desk in a triangular format, keeping prayer close at hand. One side displays the calendar, with the children and staff birthdays clearly circled as a gentle reminder to pause and pray for them on those special days. The inside of the triangle and the bottom portion of the calendar feature photos of the children and staff, putting faces to the prayers you offer as you lift each one before the Lord by name. As you see the calendar each day, we invite you to thank God for their lives and speak blessings over their futures. BOL Team
As the holiday season draws near, our hearts are filled with gratitude for God’s greatest gift—His Son, Jesus Christ. Christmas reminds us that love came down to dwell among us, and now we have the joy of sharing that same love with others. This year, we invite you to join our Christmas Shoebox Ministry —a simple yet powerful way to bless children in Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Romania. For many, these gifts will be the only ones they receive, but through them they’ll experience the warmth of God’s love and the hope of the gospel.
Elisabeth and Darius, two young souls brought together by the Bread of Life Ministry, grew up side by side, forming a sincere friendship rooted in respect and trust. Even from a young age, they believed that with God’s help, a heart committed to learning, and a willingness to walk in obedience, a better life was possible.
