Ministry Overview

The Christian Care Ministry (CCM) was organized in July of 1993 as a division of the American Evangelistic Association (AEA), an association of churches, pastors, missionaries, and trained laity. A long-time concern of the AEA leadership has been to assist fellow believers with the enormous burden of healthcare costs. Over 5 decades ago, the AEA began sharing medical burdens on an informal basis with their members. Seeing the need was great, the Christian Care Ministry division was established and began offering its members a formalized approach to sharing called the Medi-Share® program. There are now Medi-Share members in all 50 states and on every continent. Each member of the Christian Care Ministry is automatically a member of the AEA. Since the Christian Care Medi-Share program was formally organized, members have shared every eligible medical need.

In recent years, additional programs have been added to the Christian Care Ministry to assist members with their health needs. The Christian Care Health Initiatives program offers members information, education and assistance to change their lifestyles, drastically reduce medical costs and improve their quality of life. The Christian Disability Sharing program facilitates Christians helping Christians during times of loss of income because of sickness or injury. We are constantly working to add and improve services that reduce medical costs and improve the corporate health for the membership.
