Reports and testimonies from David Hathaway's ministry across Ukraine, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, Israel and Britain.
David has just spent four days on the Ukrainian frontline. In Kharkiv and Donetsk regions we visited villages destroyed by the Russian army, met with the people still living there, and with military at their posts. We brought humanitarian packages for the needy, and practical gifts to assist the military. And most importantly, David brought a message of encouragement to all, preaching Christ and praying with the physically and emotionally sick. On the Sunday 500 packed the church in Slovyansk.
7th National Day of Prayer for Ukraine, 22 June 2024, with 8000 in attendance. This is the 3rd year of the full-scale Russian Invasion of Ukraine. Even as the Prayer was taking place, a power cut or incoming missile attack could have closed the meeting at any moment... But praise God there was no incident.
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.
On 10th June, as President Zelenskyy launched Ukraine’s long-awaited Counteroffensive – the most critical and final phase of the largest and most dangerous armed conflict in Europe since WWII – we held the 8th National Day of Prayer for Ukraine. The Heads of every Christian Denomination gathered in Bucha to pray for Total Victory.
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.
