News spread by word of mouth until in Budapest, the Catholic Cathedral was totally packed, five thousand attended! In 1986 David felt challenged to hold a great East-West conference in Karlsruhe, West Germany. This, he did in 1988. Four thousand attended, but the miracle was the six hundred who crossed through the Iron Curtain from every communist country. In total four East-West conferences were held: 1988 and 89 and again in 1991 and 92.

Following the collapse of the Iron Curtain, the programme of crusades and conferences intensified. Everywhere we saw the Power of God fall, just as God had promised, in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Ukraine. Amongst the most memorable in the early years was the EuroVision Conference we held in Debrecen, Hungary, in May 1990. For the first time in the history of Hungary ALL the churches joined in unity to support the evangelism. We shall never forget the dramatic and exciting crusade we held later that same year in Bulgaria before communism finally collapsed in 1991. The sports hall was packed not only for the evening meetings with 7000 crowded in, but even the morning and afternoon sessions were full with people hungry for the Word of God.

These meetings were followed by evangelism in Ukraine – also before the collapse of communism there – and which culminated in the first ever Christian meetings in the Dynamo Stadium in Kiev. In 1994, God gave David a vision to hold a series of great crusades in Siberia – for the full story read his book ‘Why Siberia?’ – Available in the online shop. This programme of evangelism expanded again in 2002 with the introduction of the Live-TV Evangelism - preaching in a sports hall/stadium and buying time on TV, broadcasting the whole evangelistic meeting live, reaching the entire region via the ordinary, secular TV!

		David was born in London, the younger twin son of Rev and Mrs. WG Hathaway and dedicated to the Lord as a baby by George Jeffreys, the founder of the Elim Pentecostal Churches in Britain. At the time, David’s father, a great Bible teacher, was working with Jeffreys to establish these churches.

	The miracle of David’s release and his strong experience with God in the prison meant that during the following two years he ministered around the world, leading more than ¼ million people to Christ, before returning to work in Eastern Europe. Bible smuggling changed into active, then open, evangelism with multitudes repenting, with signs and wonders following, even under communist rule!
