Surprise!….but it’s not that bad really….

For all Steer Ministry Partners who have placed an Interest Free Loan with us to support Christian missions more effectively, we will be introducing changes as of 1st January 2018, as a result of new Australian federal government rules.

Watch out for an action pack explaining what’s involved and why we are making the changes.

We’re making it as straightforward as possible so that the impact on Ministry Partners is minimized.

Hang In There

Do you remember Hurricane Matthew which devastated Haiti in October 2016? Well, we have had many more disasters since with Hurricanes Irma and Maria in the Caribbean wreaking havoc in September 2017.

Natural disasters will always be with us and we are heartened to see the great work that many of the missions Steer supports such as Samaritan’s Purse, spring into action assisting disaster victims. Our Ministry Partners, like Samaritan’s Purse are dedicated to helping others in need. They were there helping those in Haiti in 2016 and again helping now in the Caribbean.

The hard effort, consistency and long term support of our Ministry Partners is unwavering and can only keep going with the encouragement of your support. Please keep the support going via direct charitable donations or through Steer and know that what you do uplifts the lives of others. To contact Steer go to https://www.steer.org.au/contact/

Samaritan’s Purse – 4 Schools in 3 Days!

Just a couple of weeks ago I met with Jorge Rodrigues, Executive Director of Samaritan’s Purse Australia/New Zealand and toured its operation. It was very impressive, especially when I saw how many of the staff at Samaritan’s Purse are actually volunteering both their time and abilities.

Last month, Samaritan’s Purse opened four brand new school buildings in Cambodia. These replace the four derelict sheds which previously stood. It’s great to hear good news in the middle of so many arguments and insecurities in Australia.

What a lovely surprise?

Steer took a phone call this morning and it was a thank you call. We really appreciate the efforts of our Ministry Partners to take the time and acknowledge our efforts in trying to make a difference. All of us at Steer thrive on encouragement like the simple act of a thank you. It fuels our prayers to help doing the best we can do to help others.

The Steer Experience….

Signing up with Steer can be life changing.

At Steer we encourage Ministry Partners to help us determine where to send the funds that Steer earns from the finances in our care.

Some families make an occasion of this every 6 months, seeing it as a good reason to get together over a meal, pray and ask God’s help in making their suggestions to Steer.

For them it’s a celebration, a time to recognise God’s goodness to them and a chance to be generous, to put others needs ahead of their own.

It is also an encouragement to do more in future and it passes on the importance of thinking of others and being financially generous as a natural part of their lives.

Some families carry this further by volunteering their time and energy, using holidays and alike.

The Steer experience can be life changing for everyone. Could it be for you or someone else you know? Share this post. https://www.steer.org.au/

Benefits of Bequesting….

We have recently been updated about the good work that has been a result of a bequest.

MAF and CRMF have made a positive difference to lives in Papua New Guinea by being the driving change to support isolated communities in its mission to bring God’s word.

Supplying Bible boxes containing valuable Bible resources to boost learning and literacy in the English language as well as the local language. Boxes provided include a wide range of Bible resources, such as: Book, digital, audio, video and SD cards.

The benefit of reading or hearing God’s Word has transformed lives within their community. Testimonies of young men starting to respect elders, woman and young girls and the property of other villages encourages us to keep such projects going.

If you would like more details on how to make a bequest to strengthen the causes you love, contact us https://www.steer.org.au/contact/

Our Generous Supporters….

At Steer Incorporated we have some very generous partners in ministry. Above is a graph which shows the broad sweep of where we have been sending funds generated through Steer in the last 12 months. It gives us a boost to see these results and we hope it does the same for you to. We are thankful for God’s provision for making this possible.

“Be encouraged.”
