Youth Transition Center

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.

For many of us, the word “graduation” brings to mind robes, diplomas, and proud family photos. But for the teenagers who are part of the Bread of Life family, this moment is so much more. It marks a profound achievement, a courageous transition into adulthood, and a first real step toward independence. Their determination inspires us and fills us with joy and pride.

“Alin, I want to be part of the next water baptism.” Maria’s words caught me off guard one evening during our youth gathering at church. I did my best to respond calmly, though my heart was pounding. I hadn’t seen this coming. But to truly understand why her words were so impactful, you need to know a bit of Maria’s journey.

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.

Building Homes for Vulnerable Youth Anywhere you go in the world, transitioning from the dependence of childhood to the independence of adulthood is a major challenge. Today, one of the greatest “gaps” in global orphan care is serving a child during this critical period.

We want you to know how deeply grateful we are for your vital role in Bread of Life Ministries. Your prayers and sacrificial support have been, and continue to be, a lifeline to families, widows, the elderly, and countless children in need across Eastern Europe.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33

It’s a happy graduation month at Bread of Life! We are excited to celebrate with our graduates and proud of their hard work.

Night was falling in the bustling city of Bucharest on Dec.12th, and for most residents there, it was “life as usual.” But for four young people (Eliza, Nicoleta, Nicu and Andreea) from “BOL Youth Transition,” it was a special evening. There was, no doubt, some trepidation mixed with excitement and deep joy and peace as […]
