2025 Impact Report Hand-in-hand with Christ

October 2025 marked 31 years of members redeeming health care together through Samaritan Ministries! In this Impact Report, you'll see the Kingdom impact your sharing and praying has had on members going through some of their most difficult health challenges and seasons. But, because of their faith in Christ and their faith in Samaritan's Christian community, they haven't had to walk through that season alone. You and over 250,000 other members have been there to support them with love, care, prayer, and financial support, hand-in-hand with Christ and all for His glory!

You are also making a major impact on the future of Samaritan Ministries through the dollars you share to support ministry administration each year. Over 85% of the dollars you share go to families in need, while the remaining dollars go to support ministry operations. While the majority of those administration dollars go to support daily operations, which includes providing the most Christ-compassionate care possible to members, some of those dollars are invested in securing the future of Samaritan Ministries through ongoing improvements and innovation. As you know, medical costs continue to rise at unprecedented rates threatening the ongoing affordability of participating in the Samaritan Ministries community. We are hard at work on new initiatives that we hope and pray will slow down/reduce medical costs, increase affordability, and lead to more membership growth which will also improve affordability.

Some of those improvements and innovations we are investing in include: better medical provider price and quality information for members' decision making, more effective upfront price negotiation for members, improving the speed and simplicity of needs processing, lowering the costs of sharing, increasing the potential for more notes and prayers, and testing an entirely new health care sharing platform called REDEEM™ HealthShare that we hope will become a more affordable Samaritan health care sharing option over the next few years. REDEEM™ also offers a fully digital member experience, eventually even more program options, and new opportunities to do even more member-to-member ministry.

The impact you had in 2025 on your Samaritan brothers and sisters in Christ and on the future of Samaritan Ministries is truly immeasurable. As a Christian, non-profit ministry with true Biblical values, our goal is to do ministry with the most Kingdom-minded stewardship possible in order to maximize the eternal value of all that you share.

Thank you for all you have done for this community in 2025! We believe God is leading us into and providing the foundation for an exciting future of Biblical health care sharing. Our prayer for you is that you experience the same joy and fulfillment we do as we serve you every day through Samaritan Ministries.

For the Kingdom!
