Steve, Ahmie and Savannah Deal

Steve was called of the Lord to full time missionary service while working with the Chattanooga Police Department in Chattanooga, Tennessee where he served for 8 years from 1974-1982. After graduating from Tennessee Temple University in 1981, Steve accepted the call to preach in open air evangelism as a home missionary before going to teach in the Philippines in 1989. Since that time GOD has given him a burden for the children in Asia. Steve has lived in the Philippines since that time where he began a training center for nationals, pioneered Calvary Baptist Church and founded Asian Children's Foundation, Inc.. Steve has been with Central Missionary Clearinghouse for more than 20 years. CMC is a "mission agency" where missionaries who serve through their local churches and CMC handles the missionaries finances. All the support for Steve and his family is sent to CMC where he has a personal account for his finances. ACFI also has an account at CMC which cares for all the ministries of ACFI including 8 feeding centers, one orphanage and the Redemption Ranch. The Ranch is the only Christian Camp of it's kind in Asia which caters primarily to "street children", including squatter and very poor children. Children are sponsored by ACFI to attend a week of camp where they are cared for and given an opportunity to hear GOD's Word, especially His plan of Salvation for their lives.
