Who We Are
Our History
Cancer Companions was founded in September of 2011 when Executive Director, Karen Tripp, trained 3 volunteers to lead the Seeing God in Your Cancer Journey program at a local church. From there, additional Bible studies were printed, accompanying videos produced and our national event 30 days of Cancer Prayer was launched. Since then we have grown to have 71 active churches in 24 states with over 400 volunteers, making Cancer Companions the premiere national Christian Cancer Ministry.

Our Purpose
We believe there is an unmet spiritual need in ALL people impacted by cancer, therefore every person deserves a holistic experience which includes a tangible way to engage the hope of Christ throughout their cancer journey.
Our 10 Year, God-Sized Goal
By 2033, Cancer Companions will provide 5 million contacts through cancer prayers, scriptures and interactions to those impacted by cancer. Contacts include; social media outreach, e-newsletters, prayer team requests, 30 days of Cancer Prayer event, and volunteer connections (both group and individual).
