The Steeles are Coming to America!

Joshua Steele · July 20, 2009

Yes, as many of you have heard, our family will soon be making a trip to the United States. We will be leaving Lviv on August 26, arriving in DFW the same day. While we don’t have an exact return date, we expect to be back in Ukraine by mid-May, in time for the start of CMO 2010. There are actually several reasons that we decided to make this trip at this time, but one of the main ones has to do with immigration problems that have come up recently in Ukraine. Here’s a quick synopsis of the situation.

Tuesday Night Report

Kelsie Steele · June 14, 2009

God is continuing to bless our English Club and Audio Bible Study meetings! Each week people are coming to hear the Word of God. By way of reminder, we hold English Club for the first hour of the evening, follow that with a 5 minute break, and then begin Bible teaching/preaching in Ukrainian for the second hour. The evening ends with tea, snacks, and fellowship.

I Met the “Martin Luther” of the Carpathians

Joshua Steele · June 10, 2009

During our first CMO project in 2006, we showed The Light of the World in a very small village called Khashchovanya. By the time of that showing, we had already experienced a fair amount of resistance from Catholic priests in other villages. Thus I was quite surprised when we saw the priest from Khashchovanya present at our showing along with his children! He viewed the entire film, and listened without objection to my Gospel presentation at the end.

ABS from Nikki’s Point of View

Kelsie Steele · May 21, 2009

“Nikki” is what we have affectionately dubbed our Nikon D40 camera. Every Tuesday, she goes with us to English Club and Bible study to help document the evening’s events. The following are a few of her shots from recent weeks.

Romans 3: The Closing Arguments

Joshua Steele · May 16, 2009

For the past few weeks at ABS, we’ve been teaching through the first two chapters of Romans. Since his opening statement in Romans 1:18, Paul has built an air-tight case against the ungodly. Furthermore, having drawn us into a position of judgment, he has shown that we who consider ourselves to be “better than the wicked” are in fact just as guilty, condemned by our own mouths.

Report from Tuesday Night

Kelsie Steele · April 24, 2009

Each Tuesday evening, we continue to meet together with Ukrainians for English Club and Audio Bible Study. (ABS) “Audio” refers to the fact that each time Joshua, Jessie, or another missionary preaches from the Word of God, the messages are being recorded in digital format so that multiple Ukrainians can have access to them over time.
