STEER Convention


The annual STEER Convention was held last weekend, October 7 & 8. STEER is a program designed to help farmers and ranchers provide funds for missions. STEER provides a Cow/Calf for a rancher. The rancher then raises the calf. When the calf is sold the funds from the sale of the calf go to the missions organization of the ranchers choice. AFLC World Missions has received $141,440. from STEER since becoming a member.

Activities at the STEER Convention included:

  • Meet the missionaries, where missionaries and missions organizations representatives dressed in clothing from the nations in which they minister. They were then given an opportunity to describe their ministry.
  • Booths and displays where people could come and receive more information about a missions organization.
  • Informative speakers on missions subjects and inspirational services. One of these was Dr. Billy Kim, President of the Far East Broadcasting Company in Seoul, South Korea. Dr. Kim brought a children’s choir of approximately 60.

AFLC World Missions has 24 Cow/Calf units that have been purchased and are idle for ranchers to use supporting mission work for our Church. Would you open the gate and let one more calf into your pasture to win a soul for Christ? For more information call AFLC World Missions at 763-545-5631.
