Chris Whaley Ministries is a Fundamental, Christian ministry headed by John and Shirley Magnuson.  Shirley Magnuson knows what it means to experience grief and sorrow.  "It was through the life and death of my daughter Chris that a ministry of helps was raised up to help hurting people in their grief and bereavement in the loss of loved ones.  
 
"At the age of eleven, I lost my father and two brothers in a train accident.  Shortly thereafter, my mother passed away.  Then, my daughter Chris, at the age of twenty-four, was taken with Lou Gehrig's disease.  In 1997, my husband Erwin passed away.  We had been married for forty-two years.  I have lost other loved ones, and in doing so, I have experienced the intensity of sorrow and grief and know how difficult it can be.  Thus, the desire to help others came after my daughter Chris's death.  I have remarried and my husband John Magnuson supports and helps me in the ministry to hurting people.

"If you have faced the loss of a loved one, and you are in the dark night of hurting, please let us help you."   Let us show you how we can help.
  • We can pray with you.
  • We can send literature of comfort.
  • We can offer correspondence of encouragement.
 

We operate the ministry on the following Biblical principles.

  • God uses His inerrant Word to instruct us of His will, "all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable." (2 Timothy 3:16)

  • Each of us has a sin problem and must be saved by the Lord Jesus Christ, "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.  (1 Timothy 1:15)

  • We must live in total dependence upon the Lord Jesus Christ, "for without me, ye can do nothing."  (John 15:3)

  • God graciously meets the needs of those who seek him by prayer, "call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not"  (Jeremiah 33:3)

  • Those who have experienced the grace of God in their trials are to comfort others in trial, "that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."  (2 Corinthians 1:4)

  • Those who minister the gospel to the lost should do so without charge, "when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge."  (1 Corinthians 9:14)

  • Any work supported by the Lord Jesus Christ will be supported by his people, "for the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God."  (2 Corinthians 9:12)
