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.

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.
