Going Home

Joshua Steele · May 15, 2012

Today Kelsie and our three girls departed Lviv accompanied by my mom, Cathy. They have about 18 hours of travel ahead of them before arriving in Houston where they will be met by the Powells, Kelsie’s parents. Happily, there were no problems at all when they passed through customs. What a blessing!

A Sad Turn of Events

The following is copied from an email which I sent out yesterday to a small group of family and friends. We appreciate your prayers for our family during this time.

On April 13th, just two weeks before our class D visas were set to expire, each member of our team received long-term residency cards like the one pictured above.

Visas and Beyond

The April issue of our newsletter, Overseas Field Report, is now available. In this issue, we bring you the very latest on the immigration front. We’re making progress! You’ll also read a bit more about some new ministry opportunities that God has brought in the Carpathian town of Skole.

This past week, our team held a four-day English Club in the Carpathian town of Skole. (pronounced skó-leh) This outreach was actually begun by a Ukrainian friend of ours, Sergiy Chepara, who is native to Skole.

We got visas!

Joshua Steele · March 13, 2012

After many weeks of legal consultations, prepping documents, and praying, we have our visas. A huge thank-you goes out to all of you who have been praying with us about this need. And while today is definitely a big step in the right direction, there are many more steps ahead.

Family Saturday

Joshua Steele · March 10, 2012

Today we decided to take the whole family out for trip to downtown Lviv. We started with a nice lunch at Puzata Khata (a great place to try national Ukrainian dishes) followed by visit to our favorite indoor playground at Antoshka. I brought my camera along and got some fun photos of our cute kiddos. Hope you enjoy them!
