Little Artists and Producers

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.

We still don’t have a new “official” family photo since Mia’s arrival, but this impromptu shot in the living room turned out pretty nicely! Clockwise from the top: Joshua, Kelsie, Mia (4 mos.), Rebekah (11), Abigail (14), Macie (dog), Hosanna (9), David (2), Kathryn (4).

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.

Our family is thrilled to introduce you to our newest little girl. Say hello to Mia Faith!

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.

“Daddy’s home!” As something of a finale to our otherwise quiet spring season, I got to attend the wedding of a good friend in the US. After a week away from my family, and a joyful reunion upon my return, it’s time to buckle up. CMO 2019 is only days away!

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!

God has recently opened an exciting door for us to put copies of Good and Evil into Ukrainian libraries! Working with us to head up this project is our long-time friend, Serhii Chepara. Read on to learn how God is moving!

Operation Library

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.

Our home is continually filled with the melodious sound…ok mostly melodious sound…of childrens’ voices. Today we are smiling because a new choir member will be joining soon!

We’ve Got News!

Today we’re very excited to announce that we are expecting! Kelsie is about 17 weeks along in her pregnancy, and we anticipate the birth of our newest addition some time in late July.

Get ready folks! This fall, the Steele clan is coming to the States! This will be our first trip in four years, and we’d like to tell you what we have planned.

Coming To America!

Joshua Steele · February 5, 2018

When last we departed America, Kathryn was only a few weeks old. She recently turned 3! Meanwhile, David has cleared the one-year mark, and he’s never been out of Lviv! Yep — it’s been a while, and we’re ready to see some friends and family face-to-face.

Good and Evil, family news, our new ETO staff family, CMO 2018 — where do I start? Two pages never seems enough to fit in all the news. But this time, I’m going to try…
