“I am overwhelmed by the response to my need, checks and letters from people all over the country. It is so beautiful and encouraging. I have never had this kind of fellowship with Christians all across the country. It feels like I’m getting a little glimpse of heaven. Being on the receiving end has motivated me to be a more cheerful giver. Now I always make sure I include a card with Scripture. The personal and sincere letters warm my heart!” – Mary in Nebraska
“God is so good to use so many generous people to meet our Special Prayer Need. I completely underestimated the power of $20. Twenty dollars from generous members multiplied many times relieved the pressure of my medical bills for a pre-existing condition. Now I will no longer think that a gift of $20 is insignificant. In the hands of Jesus it goes really far.” – Randall and Marli in Michigan
“Getting lots of checks in the mail is way more fun than a person should have. As the month passed, we loved seeing God provide through the combined efforts of so many people. The notes of encouragement and prayer were comforting. Every interaction with Samaritan Ministries was stress free, and it was easy to work with the partner organization in charge of negotiating our hospital bills. Thanks to everyone at Samaritan Ministries for being God’s hands and feet – representing the love of Christ for all the world to see. I enjoy telling people that my family is provided for by other Christians. Thanks for everything!” – Luke in Nebraska
“This was our first experience with having a need shared, so we were a little apprehensive about making sure everything was submitted correctly – if we’d get reimbursed the correct amount, if we could pay the bills on time, and so forth. We are pleased to say, however, that our first experience went so smoothly! Any questions we had along the way were answered graciously and thoroughly. We absolutely love the idea of the Body of Christ working together and supporting each other’s needs. We also looked forward to getting the mail every day as we received notes of encouragement from other believers. One of the families that sent us their monthly share was an old high school friend who I hadn’t seen in a lot of years! Small world, indeed. God is so neat in that way.” — Renee in Illinois
