I was given a Shakan Comfort Cross as I started a new job. My last job ended horrifically and this new one was such a blessing but I was out of my comfort zone as I had to do lots of networking. At one of the first meet ups I was so nervous, due to traffic I was a little late, I had to race to the toilet prior and I remember clutching my comfort cross and running out to the appointment. I wonderful sense of peace come over me and the meeting went incredibly positive. The Comfort Cross, the encouragement and care from my friend giving it to me, all grounded me to a space of peace. I carry it with now for all my challenges. There will always be challenges, God never promised there wouldnt be but He promised to be with me. Vicky October 2023
I am a gifts person. :) I love to have spare gifts in my cupboard. I find having a stash of beautifully boxed Shakan Comfort Crosses in my cupboard is SO helpful! Last week, alone I had an elderly volunteer end up in hospital. It was SO easy to grab from the cupboard and go visit her. It's such a meaningful gift to give but also practical and it says it all - I care! The little card inside is so helpful, as you don't need to go source one, and I don't even wrap it, it just doesn't need it.

I also had to farewell a staff member last week, and it was too easy again. Reached for the Shakan comfort Cross beautifully box, wrote on the card prayers for the next adventure and put it in my bag ready for work :) Maree November 2023

My eyesight is failing and at night I often feel scare. I take the cross to bed with me and when I feel scared, I hold my cross and pray, this helps me not yield to fear. Jane November 2023
