Member messages: 'Grateful for how the Lord works'

By Samaritan members  ·  Sep 19, 2025

Both my husband and I had surgery in May. It was a major deal as he had a shunt installed in his brain and I had a meniscus tear repaired in my knee. Through all the expenses of two surgeries for people in their 70s, we have felt love, support, and prayers as people from all over the country sent Shares to help us. We are so very grateful for how the Lord works through the Body of Christ. The staff at Samaritan has been most gracious with our questions and very efficient at processing our needs in a timely manner.

Dear Samaritan Ministries, we have been blessed because of you and all the beautiful members. Although we try to pay our own bills, this rare disease is becoming more costly, and we cannot bear the cost alone. Using the website and phone calls to staff along with their prayers, we are grateful for the efficiency of Samaritan, and it is done with such grace. To see the Shares come through from members has been such a blessing—especially their prayers. What a wonderful ministry you have. God bless you and all glory to the Lord above.

My husband and I experienced some various health challenges recently, but the good Lord spared us for what could have been drastic results. From this experience we have come to appreciate and empathize with those who have medical needs and praise our Great Physician. Thank you, Samaritan members, for your cards of support, prayers, and gifts. Thank you, Samaritan staff, for a well-managed program during some of our most trying times.

Considering the number of years of our membership and our large family, we have had surprisingly few needs submitted, but all of that changed last year. While we appreciate being a part of Samaritan Ministries because they align with biblical principles, I have often wondered how people manage all the additional administrative tasks surrounding health care billing during a health crisis. Last year I got to walk through that month after month. As always, God has shown His faithfulness. Another blessing is knowing that this ministry does not support unbiblical surgeries and health care. May God continue to be glorified through this ministry.

We lost our home to a tornado on May 18. In contacting Samaritan Ministries, we were placed on the Disaster Relief Fund that was extremely helpful to our family. This has been a difficult season in our lives, and we are most thankful to have Samaritan come alongside us in our time of need. Samaritan Ministries, you are a blessing!
