Euro Team Outreach, Inc. (ETO) is a Christian organization which seeks to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ, introducing people to the Savior through the pages of Scripture. Bible First is an evangelistic correspondence course developed and authored by staff missionaries serving with ETO in western Ukraine. The twenty lessons which make up Bible First were carefully designed by ETO’s editing team: Joshua and Kelsie Steele, Jessie and Teresa Beal, and Nathan and Katelin Day. As each lesson was completed, it was translated and put into immediate use on the field. Feedback was received from Ukrainian students, and after many years of writing and refining the material, the course was completed.
