DALLAS, Aug. 14, 2025 /Standard Newswire/ — With the cost of health care at an all-time high and more Americans seeking better options, Samaritan Ministries is launching REDEEM™ HealthShare Ministry, a new offering giving Christians greater freedom, affordability and prayerful community in their health care. REDEEM HealthShare allows members to directly share medical needs with one another, choose their own doctors and avoid the profit-driven models — all rooted in Biblical principles of bearing one another’s burdens.

“For over 30 years, Samaritan Ministries has been putting patient needs first,” said Will Cooper, Executive Vice President. “REDEEM is our response to today’s challenges — giving members more choice, control, and connection in their health care.”

The launch coincides with the grand opening of REDEEM’s Dallas office, marking a deepened commitment to Texas members, where thousands already participate in the ministry.

WHO: Samaritan staff, Christian musician Micah Tyler and influencers Craig and Jessica Brown

WHAT: Introduction of REDEEM and office grand opening — light refreshments will be available

WHERE: 3010 Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway, Suite 670, Dallas, TX 75234

WHEN: Wednesday, August 20, at 10 a.m. CT

Since its founding in 1994, Samaritan Ministries International has helped more than a million Christians enjoy health care freedom by allowing them to choose medical providers and treatments at reasonable cost and without network restrictions while following a biblical pattern of caring for one another’s medical needs.

Accredited by the Healthcare Sharing Accreditation Board, Samaritan has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, and serves more than 250,000 members across more than 70,000 households.

REDEEM is not health insurance. Government exchange-based health insurance requires signups to occur only during open enrollment periods unless one qualifies for a special enrollment period due to a “life event” such as losing coverage, getting married, moving, or having a baby. In contrast, individuals can sign up with REDEEM at any time. REDEEM members are exempt from insurance coverage mandates and penalties in those states that have them (i.e., California, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C.).

REDEEM HealthShare Ministry offers many advantages, including:

• No network restrictions. REDEEM members have the freedom of choice for their health care provider, hospital, and pharmacy that works best for them.

• The unique direct-sharing approach does more than just help members financially; it also encourages a biblical community based on prayer. Due to member efforts, monthly shares are hundreds of dollars less per month than health insurance premiums.

To understand how health care sharing is not insurance, and to understand the differences from insurance, prospective members are required to review REDEEM’s guidelines before joining.
