Today, we’re very excited to share with you the news that God has blessed our family with a new member!

Baby on the way!

Today, we’re very excited to share with you the news that God has blessed our family with a new member! Kelsie is about ten weeks into her pregnancy, and we expect to welcome our little one into the world sometime in late December.

Carpathian Mountain Outreach 2014 will begin in just over a month. This will be our 8th project, and we’re excited to see what God will do in western Ukraine this year!

Our Position in Ukraine

Joshua Steele · January 25, 2014

As you are no doubt aware, Ukraine is in the middle of a political crisis. The details of the conflict–which have grown more gory in recent days–are readily available on major news outlets, so I won’t waste space here repeating what’s been said by others. The purpose of this post is to inform you of our family’s position in Ukraine relative to current events.
