Comforter Ministry - News & Notes
2025 brings new opportunities and new challenges!

God has truly blessed the Comforter Ministry, as he always does. We have an abundance of quilts on hand. Our quilters have been working overtime, it appears!
With the abundance of quilts, it would seem that cancer is not as prevalent as it has been in the past, however, we know that is not a reality. Cancer is everywhere and we know that there are many that have recently gotten the news that nobody wants to hear.
The Comforter Ministry was created to share God's Word with those that need both His comfort and compassion. We have heard from many recipients that they are comforted by His Word, and the knowledge that there are many people that are praying for them while making quilts, adding the recipient's name to their personal prayer list or supporting CM with their financial contributions.
CM needs your support in another way. Tell others about this ministry. If you hear that somebody's friend or family member has just heard that devastating news, send them to this website and have them request a quilt for that person. CM does not need anything from them other than the name and address of the person that needs the comfort and compassion that is given to them through a quilt and journal that contains God's Word. God has and will continue to provide us with the funds and the quilts to send out to those that need comforting. He has proven that to us time and time again!
Download a brochure and have them on hand to share with people that you come in contact with. Mention the Comforter Ministry to your Bible Study group, your card club, your quilt guild, your neighbor. The list of people you can share this Ministry with is long. YOU are the method in how knowledge of The Comforter Ministry is being spread. YOU are our PR department!
God bless you all!
GOD'S SAFEKEEPING BIBLE VERSE -
"Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope. My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life." (Psalm 119:49-50).
REMEMBER - If you know of a woman diagnosed with cancer and would like a Comforter Ministry Quilt and Journal sent to them, please contact us!
Do you have a quilt top that you would love to donate but it needs to be quilted?
There are two longarm quilters that have generously offered to longarm quilts for Comforter Ministry. As the top maker, you would be responsible for making the top, providing a backing that is 4" larger than the top in all directions and shipping them to the longarm quilter. They will provide the batting, longarm quilting and return shipping to you. If interested, please contact them to discuss.

Words to Share...
I am not quite sure I can find the words to write in thanking you for this beautiful quilt that I will be using to get through my cancer treatment. It’s amazing how God always seems to find the most perfect way and timing to tell us not just who we are but “Whose” we are? That no matter how we feel in the moment that we are never ever alone.
Today was that day for me. The scriptures written in the journal for me to read were the answers to prayers just prayed this morning. That I'm still somewhat shaking with just how He chose to answer me today.
Please know that I will wrap up in this comforter for the remainder of my chemo sessions and also use it afterward for my radiation as well.
Thank you, Terra - Germantown, WI for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. It is so helpful and encouraging to hear how the quilt and journal that you received has affected you. You are in our prayers as you go through your treatments.
Thank you for taking over Comforter Ministry. I received a quilt 6 1/2 years ago. I kept my quilt. When I am feeling blue, I use it to bring me comfort knowing Jesus is with me and I am not alone.
Thank you, Cindy - Hastings, MN for sharing your thoughts and supporting this ministry. We are so thankful that you are still getting comfort from the Ultimate Comforter!
