Comforter Ministry - News & Notes
We have surpassed 1000 quilts!

God has truly blessed the Comforter Ministry. Word is being spread about us and the requests are coming in. God is good and continues to provide us with the needed quilts to fulfill the requests that we are receiving! In June of 2024, we received quilt number 1000!
We can't tell you often enough that without you, this ministry would not exist. God is using you to spread the Word through scripture within the CM journals. He IS the ultimate comforter! Whether you are one of our many talented quilters, our generous financial donors, a prayer warrior of the quilt recipients listed on our website, a requestor of a quilt and journal or a recipient of a quilt and journal, you ARE a part of Comforter Ministry.
If you haven't already, please read the latest newsletter to get more information about our 1000th quilt and the quilter who donated it.
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!
By God's grace, we continue to have what we need for quilts with all of the requests that we have had in the last couple of months. With God's help (and some pretty fabulous quilters and donors), we are ready, willing, and able to send quilts and journals to women who can be comforted by them and the love of the Comforter!
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.
IMPORTANT NEWS TO SHARE!
Comforter Ministry Inc. has created a new brochure to spread the message of this ministry. We may have a new look, but Comforter Ministry, Inc. will continue its "mission of comfort and compassion, reaching out to women with cancer with God's Word and the love of the Comforter through journals and quilts." Please join us in thankful praise for God's abounding grace! Feel free to download and print a brochure to give to your family, friends and neighbors. Click here to download a CM brochure.

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!
