Guidelines - 1.1 Principles of Ministry

We believe the following Biblical principles are basic to the life of 
every believer, and are therefore foundational to our health care 
sharing ministry:

Jesus Christ is our Provider for every need.
As the Creator of all things, He is the only One with all the resources 
necessary to meet every need.

Our needs are more than physical.
Human beings are more than just a collection of cells, and we 
have needs that go beyond the physical body. Our members 
come together to meet the financial, physical, and spiritual 
aspects of each medical Need.

God has made us stewards of His resources.
As a first line of defense, members of the Body of Christ are 
responsible for using the resources that God has provided 
to care for themselves, their families, and others.

Our local Christian church offers us support.
We seek to support and supplement the local Body, not replace it. 
We depend on local Christian church leaders to provide accountability for the REDEEM® HealthShare members under their care.

Mankind is the crown of His Creation.
Because we bear the image of God, we are to respect all human 
life at all stages of development. Therefore, we live according to 
Biblical principles in all aspects of our lives by treating our bodies 
as temples of the Holy Spirit.
