   Christian Care Ministry joins community leaders in National Day of Prayer

In honor of the National Day of Prayer, Christian Care Ministry/Medi-Share came together with community leaders in Brevard County for a time of worship, prayer, and testimony at the Space Coast Prayer Breakfast, then held a National Day of Prayer event for its employees.

MELBOURNE, Fla. — On May 4th, Christian Care Ministry/Medi-Share, the nation’s leading health care sharing ministry, joined local leaders for the National Day of Prayer to pray for important issues. For the past several years, Christian Care Ministry has had the privilege to sponsor and contribute to the Space Coast Prayer Breakfast, which includes Government officials, pastors, and Christian leaders from across Brevard County. This year’s event included Congressman Bill Posey, who began this yearly gathering of prayer.  

Designated by the United States Congress in 1952, the National Day of Prayer is an annual day of observance on the first Thursday of May when people are encouraged to “turn to God in prayer and meditation.” This year’s theme was “Pray Fervently in Righteousness and Avail Much” based on James 5:16b. 

Congressman Posey opened his statement by sharing how valuable prayer has been during his time of service. His leadership has brought together the community each year to pray with one heart.    

Christian Care Ministry’s CEO Brandon Harvath shared some remarks at the event: “Christian Care Ministry (CCM) is a community of believers committed to a community wellness experience based on faith, prayer, and personal responsibility,” said Harvath. “As a Christian health care sharing ministry, we know how important and effective prayer is for our members, who depend on the prayers of our staff and each other as they walk through a medical journey. We also pray for providers who call in requesting information about our members and our program.    

“CCM’s commitment to prayer carries over to outside our organization. On September 11, 2021, Christian Care Ministry/Medi-Share launched a new prayer initiative for elected officials and their legislative staff called Project K.E.E.P., which stands for Keeping Elected-officials Encouraged through Prayer.    

Each day our Medi-Share members and CCM employees pray for specific elected officials by name. Since its inception, more than 2,100 individuals have been prayed for through Project K.E.E.P. 

After the morning’s prayer time, Christian Care Ministry continued its focus of prayer with an event for its employees. The Eau Gallie JROTC color guard opened up the service followed by prayer stations. Topics of prayer included Family, Education, Business, Church, Government, Arts, Media & Entertainment. Christian Care Ministry’s service concluded with corporate prayer led by Harvath.

Rick Sechler, CFP® Founder of USA Retirement Solutions, Interviewed on the Influential Entrepreneurs Podcast

Published on June 7, 2023

Rick Sechler discusses the advantages of fixed-indexed annuities compared to other income-generating choices. 

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: 

https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-rick-sechler-cfp-founder-of-usa-retirement-solutions/

Fixed-indexed annuities offer several advantages compared to other income-generating products. One of the most significant is the guaranteed income stream they provide for as long as the policyholder is alive. This means people can be sure their retirement savings will last throughout their lifetime, regardless of how markets fluctuate. Fixed-indexed annuities usually have no additional fees or charges so people don’t need to worry about ongoing costs. Fixed-indexed annuities provide peace of mind.

In comparison, other products such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds may provide higher yields but expose individuals to more risk. There is no guarantee that the value of these investments won’t decrease, leaving their retirement income vulnerable. Furthermore, unlike fixed-indexed annuities, additional fees or charges may be associated with such investments, which can erode returns over time. So, while other income-generating products may offer potential gains in the short term, fixed-income annuities are an excellent option for long-term financial security.

Rick explained: “Fixed-indexed annuities are an attractive option for retirees who want to secure their retirement income and enjoy peace of mind. They protect against the risk of market volatility and additional fees or charges. Ultimately, fixed-indexed annuities can enable retirees to enjoy a comfortable standard of living throughout their retirement years.”

He added, “If you’re looking for reliable income during your retirement, then fixed-indexed annuities should be part of your financial planning. Make sure to speak to a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions to make the most informed choice possible. With the right advice and products, you can ensure that your retirement income will last as long as you do.”

Tom Hegna, Author, Speaker, Economist, and Retirement Income Expert, Interviewed on the Influential Entrepreneurs Podcast

Published on June 7, 2023

Tom Hegna discusses how Financial Advisors can thrive in today’s industry to best communicate retirement products with clients and prospects. 

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network:
https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-tom-hegna-author-speaker-economist-and-retirement-income-expert/

Financial advisors have the potential to thrive in today’s competitive industry by effectively communicating retirement products with clients and prospects. To do so, they must understand the complexities of these kinds of products and present them in an easily understandable way.

Tom explained: “One essential skill for financial advisors is identifying their client’s needs. This means assessing an individual’s current financial situation, including debt levels, income sources, savings goals, and other investments. With this information, advisors can consider which solutions from a broad range of retirement-specific options best suit each unique client.” 

Once identified, financial advisors should educate their clients on all available options – weighing both short-term and long-term considerations. Advisors should also be able to provide the pros and cons of each option so their clients can make informed decisions about their retirement goals.

In addition to providing clear, easy-to-understand information, financial advisors need to keep up with the ever-changing retirement landscape. By staying current on new products, regulations, and other industry changes, advisors can better provide practical advice tailored to a client’s situation.

It’s important to remember that successful communication requires a deep understanding of both people and products – something that all financial advisors must develop over time. By building relationships with clients based on trust and respect while providing sound advice, advisors will have a better chance of helping clients reach their retirement goals.
