The FCA ministry in Inland NWcan continue to grow with the STEER program. Anyone can be a part of this type of fund raising for the ministry, and we are looking for Kingdom-minded farmers who would like to help see our region impacted for Jesus Christ through the influence of athletes and coaches.
If you are a farmer or rancher, or if you know one, here is an opportunity to donate without any cash outlay. The cattle or money to buy one is provided through FCA’s partnership with STEER, Inc. After sale, the majority of the proceeds go to FCA. This program helps you further the use of your farm or ranch in service to the Lord by raising livestock whose proceeds help to underwrite the cost of our local ministry. It is a way to give with no risk or hardship, no capital gains at sale, and it provides an opportunity to witness to your family, local community and marketplace.
