Bread For Life is devoted to RAISING AWARENESS about the plight of orphans through an ongoing fundraiser which MEETS URGENT NEEDS of dying and destitute children. By buying a loaf of delicious, homemade bread through Bread For Life, you are providing food, water, shelter, clothes and education for helpless children - all in the saving name of JESUS! Bread For Life therefore provides a simple and e
ffective means to MOBILIZE THE CHURCH in fulfilling what is perhaps the most important of commands: “To look after orphans...in their distress” (James 1:27).
100% of all money raised goes directly to the needs of these lonely, vulnerable and precious children.
'Bread For Life’ is the Lord’s ministry. I offered Him the one talent that I was confident I had (baking pumpkin bread) and, because of His unfathomable love for the orphan, He has done the rest. In short, ‘Bread For Life’ has raised over $10,000 is less than 10 months! Or is it? BFL was conceived in December of 2011 when I learned that most orphans do not have daily meals, have no safe place to lay their head., and have nobody to hold them and tell them they are loved. They are abused, abandoned and often left to die. My heart bleeds for these children daily. There is a never-ending cry in my heart to love these children, whatever that may look like. After much prayer and seeking the Lord, I kept asking, “What can I do?” Then the idea came to mind, “Well, everyone tells me I bake good Pumpkin Bread” (all credit goes to my mother! It’s her recipe) “I could bake bread and sell it.”
From that moment on, that is what I set out to do and sure enough, people loved the bread. Most of all, however, they loved the cause! Once made aware of the urgent needs of children worldwide, they were eager to help in anyway possible. This is why my heart becomes overwhelmed with hope, gratitude and thanksgiving. Because WE have made a difference for so many lives, already. It hasn't even been 1 year and lives have been radically changed forever!! Because this is God’s ministry! This is His heart. We get the privilege to be His hands and His feet and through that He blesses us with unspeakable joy. Isn't that the coolest thing ever? I think so!
