Snuff Out Cancer

A Prayer Ministry for Cancer Patients

Most people have been touched by cancer in some way. Even if you have not faced a frightening diagnosis yourself, it is likely you know someone who has. We can help snuff out the fear felt by cancer patients by uniting with them in prayer and friendship. The "Snuff Out Cancer" ministry idea began when a woman visited her friend in the hospital following cancer surgery. She took with her a candlesnuffer she had decorated with ribbon and an attached Scripture verse card. "When you look at this," she told her friend, "it will remind you that I am praying that God will snuff out your cancer." As a result, the candlesnuffer has become our visual reminder that someone cares and is praying.

  • Complete information on how to begin this ministry in your church
