According to the American Childhood Cancer Organization (ACCO), each year 15,780 children are diagnosed with cancer in the United States. While survival rates have increased to approximately 80%, there is obviously still room for improvement. For those that do survive, many will struggle with one or more chronic health conditions throughout their life.

As a father of four daughters, the only thing that I claim to know for certain about parenting is that I learn something new every day.

It’s no secret that searching for healthcare options can be exhaustive, and exhausting. You may or may not be aware of the options specifically available in your area. You may even fear that your choices are shrinking at an alarming rate.

Great question! Medi-Share terminology is unique to our healthcare sharing ministry. If you are used to traditional insurance we understand that the new lingo can be confusing at first. Let’s see if we can bring some clarity to the AHP for you.

Medi-Share is not “Christian insurance.” Rather, it is a health care sharing program facilitated by Christian Care Ministry (CCM) through which a community of believers voluntarily come together to share the cost of one another’s medical bills. Members choose to share with each other, governed by member-voted guidelines. Although there is no guarantee of sharing, Medi-Share members have been faithfully sharing each other's medical bills for more than 20 years, trusting the Lord to provide in their time of need through the voluntary gifts of other believers. Since 1993, more than $1.5 billion in healthcare costs have been saved through sharing or discounting.
