THE FOCUS IS ON DEVELOPING AND ADMINISTERING CREATIVE APPROACHES, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HOLY BIBLE, ENABLING CHRISTIANS TO MINISTER TO FELLOW BELIEVERS WHO FIND THEMSELVES IN PHYSICAL AND FINANCIAL NEED. THIS INCLUDES ENCOURAGING PRAYER, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, AND DIRECT AND INDIRECT GIFTS TO THOSE IN FINANCIAL NEED. 0 0 31130114 4176839 4222312 SAMARITAN MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL (SMI) IS A RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY MADE UP OF MEMBER HOUSEHOLDS DEDICATED TO THE CHRISTIAN GREAT COMMISSION AND APPLYING THOSE PRINCIPLES IN UNIQUE WAYS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY, AND BY EXAMPLE, THOSE OF THE GREATER COMMUNITY.MEMBERSHIP IS AVAILABLE TO ANY AND ALL PROFESSING CHRISTIANS WHO ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH AND COMMITMENT TO BIBLICAL LIVING WITHOUT REFERENCE TO AGE, PHYSICAL CONDITION, OR PRIOR AILMENTS. THE MEDIAN INCOME OF SMI'S MEMBERSHIP IS SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW THAT OF THE NATIONAL MEDIAN.A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR MEMBERS ARE SUBSISTING ON VERY LOW INCOME, AND ALMOST ALL MEMBER HOUSEHOLDS HAVE NO HEALTH INSURANCE.TOTAL MEMBERSHIP HOUSEHOLDS AS OF JUNE 30, 2018, WAS 77,706 HOUSEHOLDS, INCLUDING ABOUT 248,000 PEOPLE. SMI HAS MEMBERS RESIDING IN ALL 50 STATES AS WELL AS SEVERAL COUNTRIES ABROAD. A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE MEMBERS ARE EMPLOYED AS CHURCH MINISTERS AND CHURCH STAFF, IN PARA-CHURCH MINISTRIES AND OTHER CHARITABLE ORGANZIATIONS.SMI PUBLISHES AND DISTRIBUTES A MONTHLY "CHRISTIAN HEALTH CARE NEWSLETTER," CONTAINING ARTICLES ON VARIOUS TOPICS APPLYING A CHRISTIAN WORLD VIEW TO ALL OF LIFE, SPIRITUAL ISSUES, HEALTH CARE, THE RELIGIOUS MINISTRIES OF THE ORGANIZATION, AND THE RELIGIOUS MINISTRIES OF OUR MEMBERS. THE NEWSLETTER SEEKS TO EDUCATE AND ENCOURAGE MEMBERS AND OTHER READERS TO APPLY CHRISTIAN TEACHINGS TO ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE, NOT JUST HEALTH CARE ISSUES. PART OF THAT CHRISTIAN MINDSET IS HELPING THE READERS TO UNDERSTAND THAT A SHARING MINISTRY'S EMPHASIS IS ON HOW THEY CAN GIVE TO HELP OTHERS NOW RATHER THAN WHAT THEY MIGHT RECEIVE IF THEY HAVE A NEED IN THE FUTURE.THIS NEWSLETTER IS SENT TO ALL SMI MEMBERS, NONMEMBERS WHO SUBSCRIBE FOR A NOMINAL FEE ($12) AND COMPLIMENTARY SUBSCRIBERS.THE PRAYER GUIDE:THE PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL NEEDS OF MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS, UPON REQUEST, ARE PUBLISHED TOGETHER IN A "PRAYER GUIDE," WHICH IS USED BY OUR MEMBERS AND THE SMI STAFF FOR THE OFFERING OF PRAYERS ON THE BEHALF OF THOSE IN NEED. THIS GUIDE ALSO INCLUDES TESTIMONIES OF HOW GOD HAS BEEN WORKING IN MEMBERS' LIVES. EACH MONTH MANY DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE PRAYER GUIDE ARE PREPARED, AND EACH MEMBER HOUSEHOLD RECEIVES ONE OF THE VERSIONS. THE GUIDE AVERAGES 1,200 PRAYER REQUESTS PER MONTH. IT IS MAILED MONTHLY TO ALL THE MEMBERS.PRAYER TEAM:A TEAM OF MEMBERS SIGN UP TO RECEIVE EMAIL ALERTS FOR PRAYER REQUESTS. THIS GROUP OF SMI'S MEMBERS AND FORMER MEMBERS, INCLUDING SEVERAL SMI EMPLOYEES ACT AS A "RAPID RESPONSE PRAYER TEAM." THE TEAM AVERAGES ONE TO TWO REQUESTS A DAY WITH AN EMAIL NORMALLY BEING SENT OUT ONCE A WEEK COMPILING THE REQUESTS. EMERGENCY PRAYER REQUESTS RECEIVED FROM MEMBERS ARE FUNNELED BY EMAIL TO MEMBERS OF THE TEAM FOR IMMEDIATE PRAYERS TO BE LIFTED UP.HEALTH CARE SHARING - SHARE SLIP:ALL MEMBERS OF SMI PARTICIPATE IN THE HEALTH CARE SHARING MINISTRY. PARTICIPANTS PLEDGE TO SEND A MINIMUM MONTHLY AMOUNT (CALLED A "SHARE") BASED ON HOUSEHOLD SIZE DIRECTLY TO THOSE HOUSEHOLDS WHO HAVE MEDICAL EXPENSE NEEDS THAT COME WITHIN SMI'S GUIDELINES OF EXPENSES THAT WE WILL SHARE AS A COMMUNITY. EACH MONTH MEMBERS RECEIVE WITH THEIR NEWSLETTER A "SHARE SLIP" REPORTING A FAMILY WITH A MEDICAL EXPENSE NEED TO WHOM THEY SHOULD SEND THEIR MONTHLY SHARE, AND FOR WHOM THEY SHOULD BE PRAYING AND SENDING NOTES OF ENCOURAGEMENT. THIS FISCAL YEAR OUR MEMBERS SHARED APPROXIMATELY $326,803,586 IN ACCORD WITH THE MINIMUM MONTHLY AMOUNT PLEDGED TO BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THOSE MEMBER HOUSEHOLDS IN NEED DUE TO MEDICAL EXPENSES. THIS SHARING ASSISTED OUR MEMBERS WITH 51,560 MEDICAL INCIDENTS (INJURIES OR ILLNESSES) DURING THE YEAR. ADDITIONALLY $9,090,769 WAS SHARED FOR MEDICAL INCIDENTS THAT EXCEEDED $250,000 IN COST. BECAUSE THESE AMOUNTS ARE SENT DIRECTLY, MEMBER TO MEMBER, THE AMOUNTS ARE NOT REFLECTED IN SMI'S REVENUE OR EXPENSES.MEMBERS IN NEED RECEIVE ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE BY A VARIETY OF MEANS BEYOND THE REGULAR SHARING:MEMBER EXTRA DIRECT GIVING:IN ITS MONTHLY MAILING SMI MAKES EACH MEMBER AWARE OF EXPENSES THAT SOME MEMBER HAD THAT FALL OUTSIDE OUR BASIC SHARING GUIDELINES, AND ENCOURAGES EXTRA GIVING TO MEET THAT NEED. SINCE THIS GIVING TAKES PLACE OUTSIDE OF THE SHARING MINISTRY'S NORMAL PROCEDURES, SMI CAN ONLY VERIFY WHAT RECIPIENT MEMBERS SELF-REPORT, WHICH THIS FISCAL YEAR WAS $2,229,301. THE TOTAL ACTUALLY GIVEN WOULD HAVE BEEN LARGER.MEMBER EXTRA GIVING THROUGH SMI:IN ADDITION TO MEMBERS GIVING EXTRA DIRECTLY TO THOSE IN NEED, SMI ENCOURAGES MEMBERS TO ALSO GIVE EXTRA DIRECTLY TO SMI FOR SMI TO DISTRIBUTE. SMI RECEIVES TAX DEDUCTIBLE GIFTS RETAINED IN SMI'S RESTRICTED FUNDS FOR HELPING MEMBERS WITH MEDICAL EXPENSES THAT FALL OUTSIDE THE AREAS INCLUDED IN THE BASIC SHARING (E,G, ROUTINE DENTAL). THIS FISCAL YEAR $2,679,586 WAS DISTRIBUTED TO MEMBERS IN NEED FROM THESE RESTRICTED FUNDS.THERE ARE ALSO MONTHS WHERE THE MEMBER SHARES AVAILABLE IS LESS THAN THE AMOUNT OF MEMBERS' MEDICAL EXPENSES, SO MEMBERS ALSO GIVE EXTRA DIRECTLY TO SMI TO MAKE UP ANY SHORT FALL, IN FISCAL 2018, $2,679,586 WAS DISBURSED TO MEET NEEDS THAT WERE NOT MET BY MEMBER-TO-MEMBER SHARING DUE TO PRO-RATING.SPONSORSHIP:WHEN MEMBERS HAVE FINANCIAL PROBLEMS WHICH MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO PAY THEIR MINIMUM MONTHLY SHARES, THEY ARE OFFERED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE "SPONSORSHIP" PROGRAM, THROUGH WHICH THEIR SHARE AMOUNT IS REDUCED BELOW THAT MINIMUM NORMALLY REQUIRED TO AN AMOUNT THEY CAN AFFORD. THIS FISCAL YEAR 853 FAMILIES PARTICIPATED IN THIS PROGRAM, RECEIVING $1,192,333 IN ASSISTANCE THAT WAS PROVIDED BY REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF SHARES THEY WERE REQUIRED TO SEND. THE MORNING CENTER'S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE FREE MATERNITY CARE TO UNDERSERVED WOMEN. THIS PROJECT IS PART OF SMI'S PURPOSE OF SHOWING THE LOVE OF CHRIST AND SPREADING THE GOSPEL THROUGH PROVIDING A COMMUNITY OF SUPPORT TO THOSE IN NEED.RESEARCH AND PLANNING BEGIN IN 2011. A SEPARATE CORPORATION WAS SETUP IN 2013, BUT IT CONTINUES TO RECEIVE MOST CASH AND IN-KIND SUPPORT FROM SMI AND ITS MEMBERS. THE FIRST MORNING CENTER BECAME OPERATIONAL IN AUGUST 2013 IN MEMPHIS, TN. THE MORNING CENTER HAS SERVED HUNDREDS OF WOMEN IN THE MEMPHIS AREA SINCE ITS INCEPTION. 31130114 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 45 0 1 323 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 8 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MD X DOUG WINKLER 8777642426 6000 N FOREST PARK DRIVE PEORIA IL 61614 BEN BOYD DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL COUGHLIN BOARD CHAIRMAN, DIRECTOR (THRU 4/18) 2.00 X X 0 0 0 RICHARD DRIGGERS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 RON DRUMMOND DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 KEVIN HOLST DIRECTOR (THRU 4/18) 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS KING DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS HOGAN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 BILL KURTH DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 TED PITTENGER PRESIDENT, BOARD CHAIRMAN 45.00 X X 202380 0 10253 BOB DOUGLAS DIRECTOR (BEG. 4/18) 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOE MUSSER DIRECTOR (BEG. 4/18) 2.00 X 0 0 0 E RAY KING SPECIAL COUNSELOR TO THE PRESIDENT 40.00 X 134197 0 8074 JAMES LANSBERRY EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT 45.00 X 190436 0 9884 JUSTIN EASLEY VP OF HUMAN RESOURCES 45.00 X 122372 0 7613 DOUGLAS WINKLER VICE PRESIDENT/TREASURER 45.00 X 153697 0 7845 ANTHONY HOPP VP OF EXTERNAL RELATIONS 45.00 X 137130 0 8172 KEITH BRADSHAW VP IT SERVICES 45.00 X 151496 0 7573 BRYAN EVANS VP OF MEMBER SERVICES (THRU 6/17) 45.00 X 142986 0 0 TRAVIS UNRUH LEAD DEVELOPER 40.00 X 105923 0 0 JONATHAN BEN-EZRA CONTROLLER 45.00 X 109159 0 0 1449776 0 59414 10 0 1 0 KARIS 9501-B MANCHACA RD SUITE 100 AUSTIN TX 78748 BILL NEGOTIATOR 3008153 ZOBRIST CONSTRUCTION 95 COMMERCE DR MORTON IL 61550 CONSTRUCTION 2308931 8TH LIGHT 25 E WASHINGTON ST SUITE 509 CHICAGO IL 60602 SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT 994533 PEARL TECHNOLOGIES PO BOX 3930 PEORIA IL 61612 SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT 873773 KERNS GRAPHIC SOLUTIONS 1107 WEST AUSTIN DR PEORIA IL 61614 PRINTING 863332 13 41739971 2704674 44444645 FEE NEGOTIATION REVENUE 900099 4068000 4068000 4068000 297982 297982 1905442 1919683 -14241 -14241 -14241 OTHER INCOME 900099 154312 154312 154312 48950698 4222312 0 283741 1471511 1471511 2705328 2705328 1465822 1465822 82577 67911 14666 15853730 12348558 3505172 437182 347834 89348 1049186 809786 239400 1226467 899902 326565 396488 396488 35108 35108 413110 413110 210494 210494 174001 136966 37035 2828813 2828813 1845496 1626173 142067 77256 1086678 133836 952842 759040 215681 543359 232198 102432 129766 3737774 2791329 946445 BILLING NEGOTIATION EXP 4068000 4068000 SPECIAL PROJECTS 162871 158579 4292 VEHICLE EXPENSE 19101 4365 14736 40260975 31130114 9053605 77256 188881 487629 35941348 22493715 564440 520473 144231 193683 27582116 10920615 17048551 16661501 2619653 3980882 109094 20760987 56616198 65098870 4293358 3377834 14467500 14970597 18760858 18348431 X 37210611 46533831 644729 216608 37855340 46750439 56616198 65098870 8689723 205376 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 19843814 28909056 36494886 35606599 44444645 165299000 1798131 2428491 3044886 3389216 4068000 14728724 21641945 31337547 39539772 38995815 48512645 180027724 4648 7100 9366 3400 3825 28339 0 4648 7100 9366 3400 3825 28339 179999385 9704 46140 151224 145095 297982 650145 9704 46140 151224 145095 297982 650145 12602 216392 154312 383306 21651649 31383687 39703598 39357302 48964939 181061175 0.99410 0.99570 0.00360 0.00250 X 0 1 0 1 10500 0 0 1 4546 0 1 413110 428156 0 PART II-B, LINE 1: ATTENDED LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCES AND SENT EMAILS TO MEMBERS, ALL TO ENCOURAGE SUPPORT FOR "SAFE HARBOR" LAWS TO PROTECT HEALTH CARE SHARING MINISTRIES FROM ATTEMPTED REGULATION BY INSURANCE COMMISSIONS AND TO ENCOURAGE GRASSROOTS SUPPORT FOR AMENDING FEDERAL TAX CODE TO ALLOW MEMBERS OF HEALTH CARE SHARING MINISTRIES TO ESTABLISH HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS.
