Dr. Meyer awarded for selflessness, love

A trip to China in 1995 forever changed the perspective of life and love for a local surgeon, Dr. Steven Meyer, MD F.A.A.O.S Orthopaedic Surgeon at CNOS. In June of 1996, Meyer travelled to Tanzania with Pastor Jon Gerdts and fell in love with the beauty of the country. However, Meyer was struck by the level of poverty around him. With his eyes opened, Meyer realized he was in a position where he could open his heart and give back. “I felt like God had blessed me with so much and it was my time to give back,” Meyer said. That’s when the idea of an organization to help the people of Tanzania became more than an idea. Siouxland Tanzania Educational Medical Ministry (STEMM) was founded in 1996 and organized in 1997. The founders were Meyer and his wife, Dana Meyer, Rev. Jon Gerdts and Lazaro Nyalandu. In 1997, the founders led a group of 10 area residents on the first trip to Tanzania. Since then, 25 years later, there have been over 200 mission trips of which Meyer has been on almost 60.
