Sew on Fire Ministries is a God-birthed ministry that sends humanitarian aid, blankets, mini layettes and custom designed cloth gift bags all over the world. We send and distribute merchandise with short-term missions’ groups, and have sent 300 shipments to over 70 countries so far.
God blesses this ministry with many donations, and practical items. We creatively package and provide them free of charge for groups and missionaries to take and bless others. Volunteers across Canada sew cloth bags, quilts, blankets, t-shirts, baby overalls, ladies knit mittens, lap blankets, and we package baby layettes. These gifts and homemade cloth bags are sent to orphanages, hospitals, widows living on the streets, young single moms, children living in garbage dumps, refugees and the poor.
