Reports and testimonies from David Hathaway's ministry across Ukraine, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, Israel and Britain.
Held at Emmanuel Centre, London, 11 April 2026, REVIVE NOW! was an opportunity to seek God afresh, be renewed in faith, and be stirred for His purposes in our lives, our churches, and our nation. Through focused prayer, Bible teaching, and extended time in God’s presence, the day strengthened believers and ignited a fresh passion for the Gospel.
On Sunday, 29th March, pastors and bishops from across the Lviv region gathered together, along with chaplains, military representatives, and official guests from the city administration, recognising this as a critical moment for Ukraine. More than 1,500 filled the hall. A choir and live orchestra of 120 musicians contributed to a powerful atmosphere of God’s presence. David’s representative in Ukraine, Vadim Preobrazhenskiy, shared a message about God’s Mercy which has united and transformed the nation in the despair of war, and in the biggest historical challenges Ukraine has ever faced.
Travelling on military roads covered with anti-drone netting and zig-zagging across pot-holed village roads, David ministered in a growing church planted in Izyum immediately after it was liberated from the invaders in 2023; he visited and ministered to the military manning the observation post for the 26th Artillery Regiment protecting the whole of this part of the Front, and then, further up the frontline, to commanders of ground units, who gathered in another secret location to meet us and to hear the Word of God.
We’re just back from Baku in Azerbaijan where, together with the local Christians, I held 3 days of evangelism in a prestigious venue in the city centre. It’s a bold step of faith to preach Christ publicly in a culturally Moslem country, and there was a fear, at government level, of some backlash and provocations. So no, we were not allowed the larger arena I had hoped for, but the Minister of Religious Affairs did give his full support and attended the opening night. This was the first time in the history of Azerbaijan that Christians have been allowed to take a public venue.
“All my life I set out to prove who Jesus is, to prove His power, to prove His authority. My life has been a demonstration of the truth, the effectiveness and the Power of the Word of God. Now, aged 93, I have not reached the limits of God’s Power HERE, ON EARTH! But the faith driving me is not in my head, it’s in my heart. I want to share this passion with you.”
On Saturday 5 July we went ahead with our annual prayer for Ukraine - to bring an end to the war - in the October Palace situated in the Government District of Kyiv. The prestigious venue was filled to the rafters, not a spare seat anywhere. But only 30 minutes into the prayer our organiser Vadim was told the air alarm had sounded, two hypersonic missiles were on their way…
In June I was invited as the key speaker to the all-Kazakh inter-confessional Pastors ‘Kurultai’ or spiritual council. Pastors came from as far as 3500 km away and brought their people with them. I spent 3 days ministering to Kazakh Pastors and Leaders from this vast country – over-lapping with 2 days ministering to their Kazakh Youth – 4 nights in total, with evangelism each evening advertised on the internet, bringing in more people! There was great joy in the cultural worship in the first 2 days, and the youth meetings were literally bursting with energy!
