Who we are
Breadline empowers missionary minded churches in Eastern Europe, particularly in the Republic of Moldova, to build ministries that have a lasting impact on their communities.
Breadline was set up in 1995 by Mike Kirkwood who had a vision to empower missionary minded churches in Romania and the Republic of Moldova to build ministries that would have lasting impact on the impoverished communities they served.
‘Empowerment through Partnership’ encapsulates our vision and aim both overseas and here in the UK. Today the focus of our mission is primarily with partners in Moldova, Europe’s poorest country, where we have been supporting a range of local church run evangelical, agricultural, educational, business start-up and ‘children at risk’ ministries. Some of these projects are generating resources for evangelical ministries, including children’s Bible and activity clubs, camps, emergency family welfare, support for local orphanages and outreach to prisons.
Our vision
Our vision is to be continually guided by God as we support various partners in their ventures in Moldova, empowering them to bring about long-term sustainable economic, social and cultural change, and distinct improvement in the quality of life for all.
Our mission
Our mission is to relieve poverty and provide life-changing opportunities for people in Eastern Europe, and particularly in the Republic of Moldova. This is achieved through working alongside local churches and charities who embody the life of Jesus Christ in their ministry, providing them with the practical and financial support they need to serve the poor and disadvantaged in their communities.
