About six weeks before the war with Iraq began, I had a dream
about our soldiers fighting and being killed and injured. As
I awoke from the dream, I began to pray for the soldiers and
drifted off to sleep, believing God would keep this horrible
scenario from happening through the prayers of His people. I
believe He did that, and many lives were saved early on because
of His intervention. The next day, I envisioned a military bandana
with Psalm 91 printed on it, and I remembered the stories I'd
heard of WWI and WWII soldiers' lives being saved as a result
of praying this powerful Psalm. I felt God was giving me the
idea to get it done and out to the troops.
Using money from my income tax refund, I began buying them
and having them screen-printed. Through a series of divine
connections, I was able to give away approximately 3000 to deploying
troops at Fort Hood, Texas back in March and April through Chaplain
Jim Combs and his office. The bandanas were well received by
the men and women as they traveled to Iraq and other destinations.
My goal is to get one to every service man or woman who wants
one. I am still receiving many requests for the bandanas - especially
from deploying troops and their families, and I am continuing
to raise money to pay for some to be shipped overseas or given
to the men and women as they deploy. This is a project I will
continue to carry out until they all come home.
