Bernard gets local attention for a changed life!

Bernard – A Transformed Life Featured on King 5 News! Homeless and broken, Bernard walked into Bread Of Life Mission nearly two years ago wanting a transformation. He went from bank robber to a true believer and follower in Christ. He now lives his life through the Lord’s direction, and has also reignited a relationship with his two sons. His life’s story was featured on King 5 News on May 8, 2013. Praise God for another life changed for his glory.

Drive By Fooding Brings out nearly 275!

On the third Saturday of each month, Bread of Life Mission, LifeChange program men and a handfull of volunteers head down to City Hall Park to serve lunch to the homeless community. This is a chance for us to give back, and reach those that are living on the streets, and not inside our walls at BOLM.

It was a beautiful day, with a large showing of 274 people.
