Reports and testimonies from David Hathaway's ministry across Russia, Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Israel and Britain.
Our Ministry supports the Holocaust survivors and former prisoners of ghettoes and concentration camps not only with words but in deeds. Thousands of them receive food cards that can be used in supermarkets for groceries. Due to the lack of government provision, most of the seniors we care for, do not have enough finances to buy essential items for their households. That is why very important to continue sharing the love of Jesus in Word and Deed.
During August, David Hathaway visited Poland in preparation for large-scale evangelism in 2022. He spoke in a Protestant Church opened for the converts of his previous evangelism in 2012. Because the leading Catholic Bishop who invited David in 2014 is now Head of the Catholic Church in Poland and David was again his guest this time, he was the first ever Protestant to be invited to evangelise in the centre of Krakow during a March for Jesus in the town! David also recorded several interviews for Polish National TV, as well as a very long, exciting interview for the Polish Catholic YouTube Channel.
On 22 August, together with the Pentecostal Church Union and Philadelphia Church, we held a special ‘Back to School’ service for children and their parents. Each child received backpacks and essential school supplies. The day was filled with fun activities, contests, and a time of worship; they were even able to learn some basic English with the support of a Christian teacher.
Over 8000 Christians gathered together for the National Day of Prayer for Ukraine held 12 June 2021. Over 50,000 Prayer groups and individuals participated via live-stream from around the world. This was the first large-scale Christian event held after pandemic not only in Ukraine, but in the whole of Europe! And it was organized and supported by David Hathaway's Ministry.
On 8th August, together with Philadelphia Church in Kiev, David Hathaway’s Ministry in Ukraine distributed over 200 food packages to families in need. Each package included noodles, sunflower oil, flour and over 2 kilos of buckwheat. All those who were able to collect the Aid in person, were prayed with during a special church service. For those with disabilities, our staff went personally to their apartments, nursing homes and hospitals, to provide Aid and spiritual support.
This month we were able to visit many survivors in their homes; praying with them, reading Scripture and proclaiming healing in their lives. For those who are not housebound, we were able to invite many former prisoners of concentration camps and ghettoes and Holocaust Survivors to participate in several Christian fellowships.
Preparations for the National Day of Prayer for Ukraine, which was miraculously held on 12 June, began two years ago. Due to the challenges of the global pandemic, it was the most difficult event we have held. Working under total uncertainty of what will happen or even whether the Ukraine government would even finally allow the event to be held, and if held, what restrictions would be imposed.
On 2nd May, representatives of David Hathaway’s Ministry in Ukraine, organised a special Orthodox Easter celebration and humanitarian aid distribution. 250 people received food packages, each weighing 10kg, containing: sugar, oil, flour, noodles, buckwheat and cereal. These items were chosen because many of those receiving these items neither own fridge-freezers nor are they are unable to afford electricity to keep items fresh.
This Spring representatives of David Hathaway’s Ministry in Ukraine distributed Bibles and humanitarian aid to the frontline, East Ukraine. We distributed hundreds of kilos of food, first Aid kits and hygiene supplies. Together with the Ukraine Bible Society, we were able to purchase a vehicle to assist those living in those difficult conditions. Using this vehicle, we distributed hundreds of Bibles into territories where no one can officially visit.
