Reports and testimonies from David Hathaway's ministry across Russia, Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Israel and Britain.
In February David held an intensive weekend mission in Warsaw, Poland. On the Saturday over 700 Ukrainian refugees, unbelievers, were bussed in by Christians from all over Poland, and on the Sunday, David ministered in two large refugee congregations in Warsaw, as well as separately to pastors, leaders and missionaries. The theme: TIME OF HOPE.
As we reflect on these 500 days of social and relief work, we are reminded of the immense challenges we have overcome and the lives we have touched. However, our journey is far from over. The road to recovery and rebuilding is still long, and the need for support remains great. We are steadfast in our dedication to continue serving the people of Ukraine, standing alongside them as they rebuild their lives and their nation.
For 12 months we have been standing with Ukraine, suppling humanitarian and spiritual aid. Vadim Preobrazhenskiy, our Official Representative in Ukraine writes,
On February 24th 2022 many Ukrainians appeared in the situation when the decision had to be done fast, and none of them could guarantee a solution, safety, or stop the illegal offensive. Waking up from explosions we realized that the fight not only for the freedom and future has started, but it was also the fight for the existence of Ukraine as a nation.
Women and children, hiding in underground carparks, to protect themselves from the bombs. Ordinary, untrained citizens, encouraged to take up the fight. A humanitarian crisis of vast proportions. For the last 12 months we have been supplying humanitarian and spiritual aid to the displaced and vulnerable living in Ukraine.
We want to report, that in unity with you and with your practical and prayerful support, our mission on the East was successfully fulfilled. With the team of brave and devoted servants, we worked in Izyum city in Kharkiv region, which had been occupied over 5 months, is still on the way to stability, local survivors experienced horrors of the war which are beyond any words. But eventually this damaged but undefeated city is back home!
During the extremely hot summer months in Israel, David Hathaway’s Ministry continued helping and supporting Holocaust survivors and former prisoners of the ghettoes! Our staff and volunteers provide spiritual and physical care for the elderly and their families. We are always available to fellowship and pray with them; sharing the Good News and reading the Scripture. Through God’s help and your generosity, we are able to support many people.
David Hathaway has been ministering in Ukraine since the early 1990s, although his connection with the nation goes back much further. Following the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea and invasion of the Donbas region, we have been holding National Days of Prayer, supported by all the church denominations. One of the purposes of the event is to strengthen the unity of the churches and the nation, by uniting under the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
