David often asks me, “Is the bad sickness over yet?” I look forward to the day when the answer to that question will be yes. But for now, the Steele family is doing just fine.

Love Story Cafe
Kelsie Steele · April 29, 2020
Dinnerware clinked and the chic restaurant dining room hummed with the activity of about 50 people: couples dressed up to celebrate the 14th of February over a special dinner. “The Love Story Cafe”, a Valentine’s outreach hosted by God’s Design Church, was in full progress. Josh and I had supplied the “love story” part a few minutes earlier.
Lviv Angels
Joshua Steele · April 10, 2020
Wherever you are in the world right now, you are likely reading this while under some kind of quarantine. Here in Lviv, the Coronavirus pandemic has upended our lives, similar to what you are likely experiencing. Non-essential businesses are closed, we must wear masks if we leave home, lines of people are spaced with six-foot gaps, and suddenly, everyone is homeschooling!
Kade to Ukraine
Joshua Steele · December 23, 2019
It’s been said before, but it’s worth saying again and again: THE number one need we have on the mission field is for laborers. Money, computers, vehicles, groceries, buildings — all of that is needful and we praise God for it. But vehicles don’t preach. Dollars alone can’t win souls. God has entrusted the ministry of the Gospel to people.

It’s true, fall is nearly over. All the more reason to share some of the photos we’ve snapped over the past couple of months! We’ll have a newsletter coming out soon, but in the meantime, here are a handful of memories from our life in Lviv.
Meet Mia
Joshua Steele · October 14, 2019
This summer, on July 22, we welcomed Mia Faith into our family. Even after so many years raising kids, these little babies still bring immense joy to our hearts! I think my favorite season of “baby-hood” is when they begin to smile. Mia can stop the whole family in its tracks as everyone clambers for a peek at her darling expressions.
Calm Before the Storm

Daniel Courter first visited us in Ukraine in 2007 along with his father Anthony and younger brother Aaron. He later went on to participate in both CMO 2009 and CMO 2010. This spring, on May 25th, I had the privilege of attending his wedding to Genesis Laubenthal. It was a beautiful ceremony, and Kelsie and I are excited to see how God will use Daniel and Genesis for His glory!
Operation Library
Joshua Steele · March 30, 2019
Shortly after our return from America, one of the teachers in the Christian school at our church asked me speak to her class. She had heard about our visit to the Ark Encounter in Kentucky and wanted me to share our experience with the children. After I spoke, the kids would do a puppet show about Noah’s Ark. The whole event was to take place at a local children’s library in our neighborhood. I agreed to come and a date was set.
