Health Care Sharing Ministry
Health Care Sharing Ministry (HCSM) is a concept of realizing the love of Jesus Christ in the community, which is rooted in the Bible and has been practiced in various communities throughout the history of Christianity. In modern times, HCSM has been developed and systematized in the United States since 1950, when the children of missionaries in the United States collected money to cover medical expenses when their parents or relatives who were serving overseas suddenly fell ill and were unable to pay the large medical bills. Logos Missions started Christian Mutual Med-Aid(CMM) in 1996 as a solution to medical expenses for Korean Christians through the "Korean Christian Journal" When Obamacare was implemented nationwide in 2014, CMM was recognized by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as a penalty-free organization, and it has grown rapidly and now serves Korean Christians from all walks of life. Now, through the establishment of a Korean-style preventure medical center, we hope to create a sustainable legacy so that the ministry can continue to serve future generations by providing not only treatment but also prevention.

의료비 나눔 사역(HCSM)이란 예수그리스도의 사랑을 공동체에서 실현하는 개념으로, 성서에 뿌리를 두고, 기독교 역사에서 여러 공동체에서 실행 되어왔습니다. 현대에는 1950년도 미국에서 선교사님들의 자녀들이 해외에서 선교활동을 하던 부모나 친지가 갑자기 병에 걸려 거금의 의료비 마련이 어려웠을 때 돈을 모아 의료비를 충당했던 것이 시초가 되어 발전하고 체계화되어 HCSM 란 사역이 미전역에 자리 잡게 되었습니다. 본 선교회는 “크리스찬저널”을 통하여 한인 크리스천들을 위한 의료비 해결책으로 이 사역을 소개함으로 CMM기독의료상조회가 시작되었습니다. 그 후 2004년 미전역에 오바마 케어가 실행되었을 때 CMM이 미 보건국에서 벌금면제기관으로 인정받으면서 급성장을 이루어 현재 여러 층의 한인 크리스천들을 섬기고 있습니다. 이제 한국형 건강 검진 센터 설립을 통하여 치료뿐 아니라 예방까지 제공함으로써 의료비 나눔 사역이 미래 세대에도 이어질 수 있도록 지속 가능한 유산을 만들고자 합니다.
