Perseverance During Slow Growth

Slow, steady, faithfulness, our pastor talks about those three qualities often. Ted Pittenger talks about all three of them culminating throughout his entrepreneurial journey. Ted is the king of seeing an already existing idea and improving it, thus, in the early 90’s Samaritan Ministries was born.

Today Samaritan Ministries serves over 82,000 families, 220,000+ individual members. All committed to “sharing one another’s burden” of medical expenses. It’s uncommon and against the grain, but a beautiful depiction of the body of Christ providing for one another.

What if everything we thought about Healthcare is backwards?

That the interactions we have with our physicians are based around sickness not health? Mark Blocher is a “starter”, throughout his life and experiences he has started 18 organizations, 17 are still operational today.

Currently, he and his team at Christian Healthcare Centers have taken to the Bible to outline what Biblical healthcare can and should look like. And (spoiler alert), it’s not a 7-minute appointment with your doctor leaving with a prescription. It is based on the whole person, uniquely created in God’s image living with full Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, and Physical Health.
