Health Care Option

I want to share with everyone a wonderful way to share everyones health care burdens that I discovered today. A friends of mine's midwife was telling us about this program, It's called

Samaritan Ministries International.

-This is how it works!
Samaritan Ministries is a health care sharing ministry, not health insurance, so members’ needs are handled differently than insurance. Each month every Samaritan household is assigned to share in the medical need of another member.

Here's how the process works:
-Medical Need Begins A Samaritan Ministries member has a need and calls the Samaritan Ministries office.Packet is sent and prayer begins A Samaritan Ministries staff member sends a Need Processing packet to the member, who is added to the prayer list so fellow members can begin praying.
-The need is presented He completes the form in the packet and returns it, with his medical bills, to the office.
-The need is processed The Samaritan Ministries staff verifies the need information and prepares it for publication in the monthly newsletter.
-The need is published The need is assigned to specific members, who are informed through the monthly newsletter.
-Members respond The members send their shares along with notes of encouragement to the need assigned to them. They also pray for the member with the need.
-The burden is lifted The member receives letters with financial gifts, notes of encouragement, and confirmation of prayers.
-God is glorified The member is encouraged and praises God for His provision.
