Nonprofit Spotlight: Christian Care Ministry

As a provider of investment advice to numerous nonprofit organizations, Innovest has the privilege of introducing you to some of our fantastic clients. This month we are proud to feature Christian Care Ministry.

Christian Care Ministry’s mission is to connect people to a Christ-centered community wellness experience based on faith, prayer, and personal responsibility. In 1993, a formalized approach to sharing healthcare burdens began with their Medi-Share® program, a healthcare sharing ministry where members share each other’s medical bills and pray for each other's medical challenges. From small beginnings, this big idea took root. More than 28 years later, the Medi-Share program serves around 400,000 members, and more than $5.6 billion dollars in medical bills have been shared and discounted.

Christian Care Ministry also provides a Christian Disability Sharing program called Manna® where members make voluntary monthly contributions to help other members replace lost income due to accident or illness. According to the US Census Bureau, 20% of working people age 45 or older will suffer a disability that lasts 90 days or longer during their career. Working adults are three times more likely to become disabled than they are to die before the age of 65, according to the Social Security Administration.

All of Christian Care Ministry’s programs are supported by prayer and a faith-filled community. Christian Care Ministry’s method is modeled after the early Christian church modeled in the bible (Acts 2-3). To learn more about their incredible work, please visit their website at mychristiancare.org.
