In 1776, our founding fathers set forth a defining truth: that a person’s rights are not conferred by government but endowed by our Creator. With the ratification of the First Amendment, that conviction was secured in law: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof….” For 250 years, this promise of religious liberty has enabled generations of Americans to freely live out their beliefs with integrity, purpose, and mutual care.
I reflect on this heritage with deep gratitude. I was raised in a family shaped by faith, service, and love of country, and now I have the distinct privilege of leading a ministry that exists because these freedoms endure. Christian Healthcare Ministries stands as a quiet but compelling testament to what is possible when liberty is both protected and practiced.
Our ministry was born in 1981, during a moment of profound hardship. Following a tragic accident that left his family devastated with overwhelming medical bills, our founder turned to God in prayer. What followed was not a transaction, but a demonstration of Christian compassion—believers stepping forward to bear one another’s burdens as Scripture calls us in Galatians 6:2.
In the years since, this ministry has satisfied more than $14 billion in medical bills, serving hundreds of thousands of families nationwide. Yet our identity remains clear and constant. We are not insurance. We are a ministry—grounded in biblical truth, expressed through voluntary generosity, personal responsibility, and faithful stewardship under God.
As we commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States, we do so with both humility and resolve. The blessings of liberty require stewardship. They call for informed engagement, faithful participation, and a commitment to caring for one another in times of need.
You are an essential part of this story. Through your participation, you embody the enduring principles that have shaped our nation and sustained this ministry.
Together, as we honor this historic milestone, we look forward with confidence—committed to preserving these freedoms and strengthening them for generations to come.
