A Quick Update

Joshua Steele · March 7, 2011

This morning, I arrived in Lviv on an early train from Kyiv, where I had spoken at two Baptist churches. Last week, while speaking at a conference for Campus Crusade for Christ, I met the Ukrainian director of student ministry within Campus, Sergiy Kryvonos. He invited me to come and speak to his church on one of the topics I had taught at the conference: Hearing from God. This session explores the concept of finding God’s will, and in general learning to hear His voice and follow. My time to speak at Sergiy’s church was scheduled for the evening service, and in the morning I was invited to speak at a smaller church in a suburb of Kyiv.

Joshua Steele · March 7, 2011

Recently we decided that we would try to release a new ETO video report every month. Well, so far so good. The March report is here! This one’s a bit longer than usual, but I think you’ll forgive us when you see it. Here’s a quick overview:

Upstream

Joshua Steele · March 2, 2011

Last weekend, I had the privilege of speaking at the national Campus Crusade for Christ conference in Vinnystya. Their were about 275 people in attendance from Ukraine and Belarus, as well as few from other countries. The theme of the conference was “Living Upstream”. That is, following after Christ (upstream) as opposed to following the world (downstream). The topics were primarily aimed at believers, though I also had many opportunities to present the Gospel to unbelievers. Here’s a quick overview of the four sessions I taught, followed by some pictures.

The Immigration Monster Rears its Ugly Head

Joshua Steele · February 16, 2011

Since publishing this post, we have done more research on the visa issue. In short, we have decided that at this point, religious visas (type-R) are the way to go for our team. We were able to get letters of invitation for our family and the Day family at a very reasonable price. In the morning, we leave for Poland where we will apply for our visas at the Ukrainian consulate in Krakow. We would appreciate your prayers for smooth border crossings, and successful visa application. If all goes well, we should be back in Ukraine Wednesday morning.

Magazine Interview

Recently, Kelsie and I were interviewed by an online magazine called Generation Impact, edited by Grace Williamson. The magazine is a ministry of the Williamson family, and their goal is to encourage homeschoolers to be lights for Christ.

Bible First

Joshua Steele · October 6, 2010

Here in Ukraine, anyone who isn’t Catholic or Orthodox is considered a “sektant” (member of a sect or cult). The mere mention of attending an evangelical church is usually met with fear, skepticism and even anger.

Looking Forward to 2012

Joshua Steele · September 17, 2010

CMO 2010 is over, and we are once again rejoicing as we witness the increase God has given. We were able to show the film and preach the Gospel in 10 mountain villages this summer. We also did literature blitzes in 7 new cities we have not visited before. Over the course of the project our team distributed approximately 160,000 tracts and other forms of Bible literature.
