In December 2020 representatives of David Hathaway’s ministry in Ukraine made a perilous journey to the Lugansk and Donetsk regions, to minister to soldiers and to those still living on the frontline in the war with Russian-backed separatists. Since 2014, over 20,000 Ukrainians have died, over 30,000 injured, and 2 million displaced; over 5000 are missing, presumed buried in mass unmarked graves.

Together with the Ukraine Bible Society, our staff spent three days providing spiritual and practical care for the military and those civilians who have no alternative but to live in these harsh conditions. We pray with them, provide Bibles, and distribute food and humanitarian aid parcels. But the most important thing is, they receive faith, hope and love, and an understanding that they are never alone.

During this trip we distributed hundreds of special editions of the Bible:

Waterproof editions for the military
Youth Bibles
Children’s Bibles

The delegation on this trip included:

Valeriy Antoniuk, Senior Bishop of the Baptist Union of Ukraine
Anatoliy Raychinec, Deputy of the President of the Ukraine Bible Society
Father Vasiliy, Vice President of the Ukraine Bible Society
Andriy Borylo, Pastor and Chaplin of the ‘Transfiguration of God Church’
Vadim Preobrazhenskiy, Representative of David Hathaway’s Ministry in Ukraine
Sergiy Voloshyn, Media Director for David Hathaway’s Ministry
