Health & Faith

"My family and I have been members of Samaritan Ministries for almost 20 years and our church has provided membership to our staff for even longer. Much has changed for us personally in that period of time including the addition of four children, but Samaritan and her caring members have stood with us throughout. They were there for the prenatal care and delivery of each of our four children. They were there for a broken elbow and even a back surgery. Each time the needs were submitted, we were blessed and encouraged by cards and checks from faithful Samaritan members that completely covered each of our needs. They were there for a loyal and faithful principal of our Christian school who God miraculously spared from a life-threatening heart episode, and Samaritan made it possible for his extensive care and treatment to be covered. On a practical level Samaritan Ministries allows us to be an active participant in our healthcare needs, something that I believe would go a very long way is resolving the issues and out of control costs that plague the healthcare system here in the US.

If you're looking for a common-sense, faith-based solution to meeting your healthcare needs, I wholeheartedly recommend Samaritan Ministries."

Chris Gable – Emmaus, PA

"We just started using Sermon Audio a few months ago. One of our part-time staff at the church does not have health insurance through us or her husbands employer. I told them about Samaritan ministries and they signed up because it was a better option than what they had been using. I'm so thankful this option was available to them."

Brad Rine, Campus Pastor
TBC - Washington

"We have been members of Samaritan Ministries, and find them to be a most professional organization with high standards: excellent customer service, web and online capabilities, transparency and accountability, and reasonableness of guidelines. We find them to be an essential part of doing the Lord's work in this vital area.

As a broadcaster and church leader, I will re-double my efforts to enroll others in SMI.

Thank you for letting me know about this concern of theirs."

Vince Kluth, Church Servant
Mission Bible Church

"We would not be able to have insurance if it wasn't for Samaritan Ministries. And they have been awesome! We have had several ER visits, Health issues, etc that we have had to turn in and ALL of them have been paid in full very quickly. The notes and cards received are also a blessing. I would fully support them and have suggested them to some of the members of the church where I am blessed to pastor already."

Tim Knutson, Pastor
Bible Baptist Church

"Samaritan Ministries has been a great blessing to our family. After my wife and I started having children there was no way we could afford traditional health insurance since I was self-employed. We now have 8 children and have been with SMI for 10 years and the few times we have had to submit needs, it was wonderful to have other believers sending not only their shares to help us with our medical bills but also notes of encouragement saying that they were praying with us. We really appreciate SMI and often tell others about it.

We hope that others will join and support Samaritan Ministries and enjoy the help and blessings as we have!"

Stacey Thurman

"I am a legitimate Samaritan Ministries member. I have been a part of this ministry for the last 15 years or thereabout. I have only had to ever request help a time or two in these fifteen years, but have found their ministry to be a blessing. It keeps us in touch with other brothers and sisters around the nation, helps facilitate needs being met, and allows me not to have to support ungodly practices.

May the Lord continue to bless both the efforts of SermonAudio and Samaritan Ministries!"

Philip B. Strong
Lander, Wyoming

"Our family has been a part of Samaritan Ministries for a number of years, and we have been consistently blessed by them. When medical needs have arisen in our home (such as when I had to have emergency open heart surgery in July of 2023) the staff at Samaritan have acted in such an efficient and gracious manner, and the Lord has used fellow members to provide for our medical needs. It has been a far superior experience than we ever had when we were on insurance, and we would commend it highly to anyone who is interested."

Pastor Jerry Slate, Jr.
Powder Springs, GA

"We have used Samaritans for many years now. Because of the sharing model we have been able to have two of our kids in a birth center and our need was shared and covered. We've been able to use alternative treatments for our kids severe eczema, and those needs were all shared. With traditional insurance, we could not have taken care of our families health needs as well as we have been able to with Samaritans. We're so thankful for this ministry."

Graham Parker, Associate Pastor
Calvary Bible Church, Grand Junction

"I would love to help in any way I can! I love SermonAudio and use it regularly. I also worked for Samaritan Ministries for seven years before going into full time ministry as a pastor last year. Samaritan Ministries is the real deal. They love God and his people, and they seek to serve the Kingdom in this way of health care sharing.

I wrote an article for them last year that sums up much of what they do. If it's fine with them, it's fine with me if you need to make use of that. Https://samaritanministries.org/blog/we-are-not-insurance-not-now-not-ever"

"I have been with Samaritan Ministries now for 24 years! Now have a family in the time, have had 4 sons and that means medical needs! I highly recommend the ministry for the saints!"

Bro. Jeremy Wilson, Pastor
Heritage Baptist Church

"My wife and children and I have been sharing members of Samaritan Ministries for about 17 years. Samaritan members have seen us through 7 births, one miscarriage, and some health challenges. We deeply appreciate the conservative, loving, God-honoring approach they take to this important aspect of our lives. We look forward to many more years to come with Samaritan, and hope others will join as well."

Victor Maxson
Chapel Library

"I promoted this partnership to our congregation when it was first announced and will do so again. I have also requested printed promotional materials from Samaritan Ministries. We thank God for Samaritan Ministries and SermonAudio, and we highly recommend both ministries for the care and building up of Christ's church. Thank you for your labor for His sake."

Blessings,
Scot Chadwick

We have been members of Samaritan Ministries for many years, and have been served extremely well (medically), and we feel blessed to be part of the community that Samaritan seeks to build. Practical care for one another, and prayer above all. We highly recommend the ministry and the staff. We have helped many family and friends sign on with Samaritan, and we recommend this ministry highly."

Bill & Aletha Green
Costa Rica

"We have been members of Samaritan Ministries for 20 years and have been very satisfied. Over that time period, a number of needs have been submitted and paid for through the ministry, including surgeries and the birth of five children. We pay far less per month than any premium we would have to pay through an insurance company, and we have the peace of mind, knowing that our monthly payment is not subsidizing abortions, transgender surgeries, and other evil procedures. Best of all, we get to help out other Christians by our prayers and monthly payment. We highly recommend Samaritans."

"I can promote on our Facebook page. As a pastor in California, our family has been blessed by Samaritans share. Just let me know exactly what they would like me to promote. Also, we can put a free 30 sec. spot on our radio network in Los Angeles county if they have anything put together already."

"My family and I have had Samaritans Ministry healthcare since 2011. His has been great for us. We highly recommend it to anyone."

Pastor Scott Dotson

"I have used Samaritan Ministries for years. This year, a mystery illness knocked me out of work and landed me in the hospital. As the bills piled up, I began to wonder if Samaritan would really work. My worries were completely unfounded. I was shocked by how easily the billing companies cut their rates once they learned I would be paying in cash. And the good people who use Samaritan sent their payments faithfully. We were well taken care of. I encourage you to use this affordable health care ministry and sleep well without anxiety. You are in good hands."

Ricky Jones

"Thank you for letting us know about Samaritan's Ministries and organizing the 10% discount. My family is one of the new signups this year. We greatly appreciate Samaritan's Ministries which allows us to help take care of the health needs of others while knowing they will help us when we need it. Health care costs continue to sky rocket so I greatly appreciate Samaritan's Ministries very reasonable costs. We greatly appreciate them. I will be forwarding the information about them to our church."

Mark Rice
Medina Bible Church

"My family has used Samaritan Ministries for a number of years and have been very pleased with both its service and its cheaper cost. Several individuals and families in our church are satisfied customers and participants. Much recommended. Would not at all want to go back to 'traditional' insurance.""

Martin Nish

"We have been using Samaritan Ministries since 2016. It is truly the best and most affordable health care service available for our family. Not only is the cost of this service about half of the cost to cover my family with traditional insurance, but it also covers things like homebirths which traditional insurance plans do not cover. I have a family of 8 and we are blessed to be a part of Samaritan Ministries."

David and Leslie Berzins

"Many have benefitted from using Samaritan Ministries over the years here at our church, including my family. I would highly recommend Samaritan as a solution to the health insurance crisis in our nation. Our entire staff here is with Samaritan Ministries. I have already sent this opportunity to our entire church in an email. Several hundred will see that very soon!"

Rev. Tom Zobrist, D.D.
Liberty Bible Church, Eureka, IL

"I am happy to provide an endorsement for Samaritan Ministries. My family and I have been members for about 20 years. I certainly appreciate that Samaritan is faith-based - they require all applicants to agree to a statement of faith. Samaritan Ministries has obviously worked hard to develop organizationally and technologically to provide an up-to-date, easy-to-use interface. I have called a number of times and am touched that the customer service agent prays with me. They are God-oriented, well-trained, caring, and efficient. We have been pleased to be a part of this ministry."

Blessings,
Daniel Fox

"I have been a member of Samaritan Ministries for many years and as with all health sharing ministries, you hope you never have to use it! But in 2017 I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor that required brain surgery. Having Samaritan Ministries enabled me to choose one of the best neurosurgeons in the country and fly from Wisconsin to California to have the surgery with him. Samaritan is easy to work with and allows me to choose where I go, what doctors I see, what procedures I have and has covered the cost for these extensive health care costs. I highly recommend them!"
