Dear Lord,
Increase our faith! Fill our hearts with such an excitement for Your will. Give us faith that will allow us to follow You wherever You lead us. Take away our fear when it comes to doing the things that seem impossible. Use us to do the things that others will not.
In Jesus’ name, amen!

REAL MEMBER TESTIMONY: The $4,200 Medical Bill That Changed How We Think About Christian Community
The emergency room visit happened on a Tuesday night.
Our eight-year-old son had been complaining about stomach pain all day, but by dinner, he was doubled over in tears. We rushed him to the nearest ER, praying the entire way.
Four hours later—after tests, X-rays, and thankfully just a severe case of constipation that needed medical intervention—we walked out relieved but dreading what would come next.
The bill: $4,200.
Even with our insurance at the time, we were facing a $2,800 out-of-pocket burden. I remember staring at that statement thinking, “There has to be a better way for Christian families to handle healthcare.”
That search led us to discover Samaritan Ministries — and honestly, we wish we’d known about it sooner.
Samaritan recently launched REDEEM
HealthShare Ministry, and here’s what we love about it:
But what really sold us was the foundation is the same as Samaritan’s: Christians genuinely caring for one another’s medical burdens, just like the early church did.
When healthcare costs are shared among believers who pray for each other by name, medical expenses transform from financial stress into opportunities for Christian community.
That $4,200 ER visit? As a member of REDEEM
, it would have been shared by fellow members across the country—believers who would have actually prayed for our son’s healing.
That’s healthcare the way God intended it.
