Comforter Ministry - News & Notes
25 Years of blessings through the Comforter Ministry
It is so hard to believe that the Comforter Ministry has been in existence for 25 years. Although Judy, Christine and I have only been responsible for keeping the CM wheels turning after Su handed over the reins about 3 years ago, we are still amazed by the blessings we get to witness firsthand.
I am still working on digitally documenting all the records that Su meticulously maintained for 22+ years. It is mind boggling how many people this ministry has touched.
I wish we could share all the feedback we get from the quilt recipients, the quilt requesters, the quilters and our financial supporters. It is heartwarming to read about the impact on everyone’s lives.
The Comforter Ministry has grown through word of mouth and the doors that God opens for us. It is amazing to us how some people have found us. Sources we never expected. This Ministry has been shared with medical establishments, churches (all denominations), schools, support groups, friends and neighbors. Our mission is to share the source of our comfort. Please review our Mission that is based on the truths of God’s Word.
Please visit the online prayer list and join our Prayer Warriors that are storming the throne on behalf of all that are touched by cancer, whether it is the cancer patient or their family and friends.
Please continue to share information about The Comforter Ministry with others to allow us to continue growing for 25 more years and beyond.
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!
