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/

Who Do You Follow?

I’m choosing not to spend my time on Twitter! But I am choosing to follow Jesus! Are you?

John Hingley, co-founder of “Dasheroo” which sells business dashboards, writes about what ‘following’ means for Twitter users. His comments make interesting reading when we consider who we are ‘following’ in life.

He says: “Twitter can be overwhelming if you’re not knee-deep in social media land, can’t it? You’re … not really sure how it all works, who to follow, who is following you, what to post, retweet, or reply to…it’s crazy!” To which we reply ‘Amen!’

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/

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.”

Why would you invest without wanting a financial return?

A while ago I had a meeting with a couple of businessmen who had not previously heard of Steer Incorporated and our mission to significantly boost funds for Christian charities. They listened intently to my words and with a frown on one man’s face he asked “Why would someone deliberately invest with you without wanting a financial return?”

He was struggling to grasp the idea of deep generosity that many Christian’s pursue. When told that last year Steer Ministry Partners had enabled us to give away over $3 million to mission and outreach in Australia and the rest of the world, he smiled and said perhaps he could help us then. If I’d been quick enough, I would have replied that we at Steer, could help him too.

It’s approaching Easter, it’s still the reason of Lent, when Jesus gave up everything for everyone and God kept his promise to all peoples. If you think of others that Steer could help to be more generous, now and in future, please share this with them.
