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.

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.

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.
