Ukraine Field Report

A few months ago, I had the privilege of accompanying our BOL team to deliver food to Ukraine. Our trip began at our warehouse in Bucharest with multiple loaded trucks and trailers headed toward our destination, Ismail, Ukraine. Ismail is in the southwest corner of Ukraine and is relatively safe.

As you know, many living in Ukraine are facing manifold hardships and suffering because of the ongoing conflict there.


Many have left everything and have fled to a safer place. And some stayed behind; either way, many are destitute and need help and encouragement. Like a Christian man, I met there whose family had come under attack twice. On one occasion, his 4-year-old daughter suffered severe burns, and the other time, his 2-year-old son was injured. His son is all right now, but after a lengthy hospital stay, his daughter still has a long way to go. They are praying for a miracle. 


Please keep praying for the peace of Ukraine.

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.

Let’s Help Iustina Have a Future Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. Psalm 28:6 On April 26, Iustina Lăcrămioara Ciurcu will turn 12 years old.
