Wood for the BOL Home Update

We are happy to share that our May firewood appeal has been going very well. We have already received nearly seven truckloads of firewood out of the ten needed. The importance of warmth for our children at the Bread of Life Home in Brosteni can not be overstated.

The BOL Home is on the Bistrita River, nestled between the mountains, and the winter season typically extends over six months. It’s not uncommon for temperatures to plummet below freezing and, on some days, even drop to zero Fahrenheit.

While we rejoice in ordering enough wood for the first part of the winter, we still need to complete the need for the remaining winter months. 

Your support for the remaining three truckloads of wood, which cost $1,110 each, is not just a financial contribution. It’s a testament to God’s glory in our local community, where we have never lacked warmth and have even been able to share our firewood with some of the local elderly. Praise God.

Child with shoebox gift

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

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

By Luminita Panican BOL -YTP Coordinator • September 24, 2026
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.
