This Spring David Hathaway’s Ministry in Ukraine provided humanitarian support to refugees and internally displaced persons who fled their homes because of the ongoing conflict with Russian-backed separatists in East Ukraine. They need special care, practical, spiritual and emotional, as many of them have lost loved ones.
April Humanitarian Aid Distribution in Israel
What a wonderful and blessed month we had! We celebrated the Passover, the festival of Liberation and Salvation of the Israeli nation. It is remarkable that the festival coincides with a dramatic improvement in the Covid-19 infection figures over the past two months in Israel, credited to their successful vaccination campaign. As a ministry we are using this opportunity to celebrate their deliverance!

January Humanitarian Aid Distribution in Israel
We start the new year with hope and praise for God’s faithfulness, and the many great opportunities He has given us to serve those in need. So far this year, we have been able to visit and support many more people than we imagined possible. Because of Israel relaxing the strict quarantine rules, we could again commence face-to-face meetings with Russian Holocaust Survivors.
How we help Russian Holocaust Survivors (2020 Review)
The aim of our work in Israel is to share the love of Jesus by building personal relationships with former prisoners of the ghettos and war survivors. – This is why we frequently visit our friends individually, pray for them, and provide much needed companionship. We read the Bible together, exploring the Truth of God’s Word.
Christmas Day Humanitarian Aid Distribution
On Christmas Day, David Hathaway’s ministry in Ukraine distributed 300 Christmas gifts to children displaced by war in East Ukraine. Each gift included a specially illustrated children’s Bible, chocolate bars, and other Christmas treats. Hundreds of kilos of food packages were also distributed to the parents of these children.
December Humanitarian Aid Distribution in Ukraine
In December 2020 representatives of David’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.
Bible distribution in Ukraine: 3 people tell their stories
Working with the Ukraine Bible Society, representatives of David Hathaway’s Ministry in Ukraine have frequently distributed Bibles and ministered to those in need of comfort and support. Our staff have made many trips to the ‘red-zone’, distributing Bibles to soldiers who are in a stand-off with Russian-backed separatists. In addition, we have ministered to vulnerable children living in Kiev, offering them much needed care and support. These are the stories of three individuals who have benefited from these outreaches.
Who we help in Israel: A Holocaust Survivor tells his story
David Hathaway’s Ministry supports Russian Holocaust Survivors living in Israel. This is the story of one of the people we care for. “My name is Leonid Ananievich Bortstein, I was born in Ukraine in a village called Nishivtsi in the Vinnitsa region in 1937. Now I am 83 years old. When I was 4 years old, the Second World War began. Since I was a small child, I don't remember very well the details of what was happening, but I know for sure that my grandparents were believers, Orthodox Jews; they tried to keep all the commandments of the Lord.”
