Bosnia

We have mission stations in Brcko and Tuzla. Ten volunteers and pastors look after poor families, refugees and sponsored children. They also distribute our relief supplies to the needy. Whoever is interested in it, will receive from us New Testaments, Bibles for children, tapes and Christian calendars.

Croatia

The area in which we work is Eastern Slavonia with the cities of Vukovar, Borovo, Beli Manastir and Osijek. There is a lot of poverty especially in the Vukovar region due to high unemployment. We help again and again with relief goods such as clothes, shoes, bicycles, but also with food. Our special focus is on Roma families supported by the Christian community in Vukovar. We support a Bible school in Osijek.

Serbia

Since the Roma families are especially underprivileged in Serbia, we support them through various Christian churches in Belgrade, Wojwodina (Northern Serbia) and Leskovac. Here is the largest Roma community of Serbia, which has over 1500 members. Many Romas are unemployed and have to live in slum areas. We help with basic food (flour, oil, sugar …) and offer sponsorship for Roma children. PC courses and much more are designed to help children get off the street and give them a chance for a better future. See also our child sponsorships.
We have a special senior work in Belgrade. In the church, people can watch good films, participate in PC classes and experience fellowship. See also senior citizenships.

Romania

Here we help poor families and carry out regular transports with clothing, shoes and hygiene articles. There is also the possibility to sponsor a child in the city and the surroundings of Brasov. We also take care of the people in the psychiatric hospital in Wolkendorf.

Armenia

In Armenia, there are more than 100 children who receive monthly support through Brot des Lebens. In addition to this 300 families receive a food package each month. Most of these people, whom we help, live in a tin cottage settlement in the city of Vanadzor.
