You’ll be sobered, inspired, and I hope challenged by Milena’s story.

Midnight Invasion

Joshua Steele · February 1, 2023

Today we’d like to share the story of our most recent trip into Ukraine. Our primary objective was to reunite a Ukrainian family separated by the war. But as you’ll find out in this episode, God led us through a whole string of adventures. As always, He was faithful to guide and protect our way.

The Body of Christ

Joshua Steele · December 8, 2022

It was late March — less than one month since our evacuation from Ukraine — and God had provided us an apartment. We were finally leaving the horse ranch and moving to Žilina! This was largely possible due to the generous help of an American missionary family: Zac and Kim Shepperson.

Yura and his two sons, Matviy (left) and Marko (right) visited our home on February 24, 2022 — the first day of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The visit had been planned days earlier, and we decided to go ahead with it. We shared a meal, played games, swapped stories, and enjoyed fellowship despite the onset of war.

We don’t get to see sights like this every day, but wow, it’s fun when it happens. Ukrainian kids, Ukrainian-language Good and Evil books. The Gospel is going out!

Russia and Geopolitics

Joshua Steele · July 21, 2022

Why is Russia acting as it is? What are the fundamental motivators driving their campaign of evil against Ukraine? In this episode, we’ll talk about the fascinating world of geopolitics and its relevance to the current conflict. We’ll also bring you up to date on our family news, the Good and Evil project, and our Bible First ministry.

Additionally, we would like to bring you some new updates on the Good and Evil project, our other ETO team members, the Bible First program, and our recent family ministry trip to Bratislava.
