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 does $2.78 million look like?

It means:-
• Good News delivered by every conceivable media from hand held solar powered devices to radio and the internet
• Help, both immediate and long term, for women and children often abandoned, at risk of abuse, neglect, homelessness and without food in places like India, and others.
• Pastors able to fly to remote areas of PNG when trekking could take a week or more – each way.
• Bible translation in one of the 3000 languages still waiting for one.
• Theological education for people in PNG, ASIA, Australia and other hard to reach places providing teaching, support, equipment and other materials.
• Literacy, using the Bible in China, Africa and the like.
• Legal and on the spot help for those caught in people trafficking.
• Help with the problems of drug, gambling, grog and other addictions and their consequences, in Australia, and at crucial times such as schoolies week and beyond.
• Sports ministries chaplaincy.
• A Bible or a part of it perhaps for the first time in a language that’s easily understood.

In the last 12 months Steer Incorporated through our ministry partner’s generosity was able to boost the funding to all these ministries and more through the $2.78 million we distributed to over 300 missions.

Church Missionary Society (CMS) Conference in Adelaide….

David Williams, present CMS Regional Director SA/NT, encourages all CMS supporters to consider the “Steer option” at the CMS summer conference in Adelaide this weekend (19 – 21st Jan 2017).

Also attending at the CMS conference is Steer CEO, Tony Crook. Tony explained and encouraged a couple of hundred people who are committed to CrossCultural mission ways, to use Steer to support more effectively. There’s been a good level of interest.

Pray that there will be even more action as a result.

Peace sometimes, but not everywhere

Mostly the world is a great place, mostly people live in harmony. One place that is troubled and often forgotten is South Sudan. Born in conflict and bloodshed. Now they are booting out peaceful people who most of all would like to help. For example, take a look at SIM Australia’s facebook post/blog on Jan 3 2017.

Forgotten Wars….Forgotten People….

Do you remember the Malaysian airlines plane shot down in the Ukrainian “war”?….Seems a long time ago yet the “war” continues, already forgotten by many due to newer bigger disasters. Yet there are agencies like the Slavic Gospel Mission who are helping local Ukrainian Christians to reach out locally.

Mukta’s Story – Part 3

In 2012 donors in Australia provided funds for Mukta to have 3 surgeries and today she has a new face, and a radiant testimony of what God has done in her life. She has completed a BA and her Masters in Social Work.

Mukta has recently spoken in Western Australia about her journey, touching many hearts with her story and how her life has been transformed and enriched by Mukti. She continues to give back to help others through her efforts with admissions and assistance with the transition process at Mukti. She travels and follows up with girls at teritary level to ensure their paths can be realised.

Mukti Australia is one of the hundreds of missions supported through Steer Incorporated.
