We are so grateful for your generosity in supporting our humanitarian and spiritual relief work in Ukraine. Since 2014, when Russia first annexed east Ukraine, we have been assisting the displaced with the help of Philadelphia Church, and many other churches throughout Kyiv and beyond.
Day of Prayer for Ukraine
On 12th June David Hathaway was in Ukraine, in Lviv, to hold a United Day of Prayer - joined by churches of every denomination all over the nation. Broadcast live on YouTube, up to 3000 attended in Lviv itself, the largest Christian gathering permitted since the war began. We were honoured to have the Governor of the Lviv Region Military Administration taking part in the prayer with us.
Supporting Ukraine
Our ministry in Ukraine continues to provide humanitarian and spiritual relief to the displaced and those who have lived under Russian occupation. Daily we distribute bread, water, sanitary items, medicines and other basic supplies. In addition, our staff provide spiritual and emotional support to people broken-down by war and destruction. Weekly we broadcast the Gospel in both the Ukrainian and Russian languages. And we distribute Bibles.

Stand with Ukraine: Providing Humanitarian and Spiritual Relief
Help us support Ukraine: Working with Churches, Pastors and Chaplains living in Ukraine, our goal is to support internally displaced persons, the vulnerable, the sick, and the wounded still living in the besieged cities of Ukraine. As you read this, our staff continue to risk their lives to assist people living near the front lines. Even during the first weekend of bombing, our staff were distributing Bibles, and praying with people living in Kyiv.
Our hope is in Christ! Supporting Ukraine
Praying for the peace and unity of Ukraine
January Humanitarian Aid Distribution in Israel
January was filled with gratitude and joy for all the support we provide for the Russian speaking Jews in Israel. These elderly Holocaust survivors and former prisoners of the ghettos, share their stories, thankful for our prayers and compassion. As usual, we have the privilege and pleasure to visit many of these survivors in their homes. During the New Year celebrations, we added special gifts to the food packages we provide.
December Humanitarian Aid Distribution in Israel
As we visit Russian Holocaust survivors and former prisoners of the Ghettos in their homes, we remind them that they are not alone; that Jesus loves them. We pray with them. Read the Scriptures together. And do their home chores. During December, whilst Israel prepared for rise of the Omicron variant of Covid-19, our staff there assisted and encouraged many of these elderly veterans! Zhanna Goffman, an 84 year old survivor we assist, is now unable to go to church for health reasons. On our visits to her home, our staff pray with her. When they are not able to see her in-person, the phone conversations with her last at least one hour. She is very grateful for the help we provide her, and she always looks forward to our next meetings so that she can pray with us! Through your support, we are able to share the hope and salvation of Jesus with her.
