117,004 Psalm 91 bandanas have been provided as of June 30, 2010

We recently received endorsement letters from the Kentucky and North Carolina chapters of Woman's Mission Union (WMU).  An Endorsements page was added to the website to display all those we have received.

Operation Bandanas is in great need of donations.  As OpBan moves into its 4th year of ministry, the word has spread through the ranks of our military, thereby causing us to receive more and more requests for Psalm 91 bandanas. Currently, we have approximately 15,000 bandanas requested! We hope you will respond with a generous gift for our incredible troops to receive a piece of God’s armor, His magnificent, comforting Word, and a reminder to them of His presence with them. The month of May is an excellent time to ask for an offering from your congregation in memory of our fallen heroes and in honor of those who continue to carry the banner of freedom. Involve churches and your community (schools, businesses and organizations) to help provide spiritual encouragement to those who need to be reminded that God is with them. I will be happy to provide brochures for you to share or you may copy the brochure and newsletters off of the website to distribute.

Please keep Operation Bandanas in your prayers because this ministry is dedicated 100% to encouraging and protecting our brave men and women with God's armor through Psalm 91 and it is only through donations of generous Americans that we can get the bandanas to them.

Please reading the moving testimony and request we just received from an Army Chaplain:

Hello Mary,

     In 2007-2008 I was with an Infantry unit in Baghdad. It was the 2-325 2BCT 82nd ABN. Your organization sent us several bandannas. They were a very popular item. There was one NCO that would read Psalm 91 from his bandana every time he went outside the wire. It got to the point that he memorized it and would quote it to his team every time they departed. There was another Soldier; wearing the bandana that was shot in his Kevlar helmet by a sniper in the forehead area. The round mysteriously tumbled on the inside of the helmet and exited a clean hole through the rear of the helmet. Amazingly the Soldier was unscratched (with a bullet hole through the front and back of his helmet)! He came to my chapel service that evening and testified. He said, “It’s been several years since I have been to church but if I don’t come now and give God the glory I don’t know what it’s going to take to wake me up!’ The Soldier recommitted his life to Christ that evening. These are just some of the incredible stories down range. Your organization was a part of it. I thank you for it.

    I am currently serving as the Special Warfare Training Group Chaplain at Fort Bragg. Many of our Soldiers come here and deploy immediately after the training. May I request some bandanas to offer them here? I am not sure what your ministry can accommodate. We have 2200 students going through here in a fiscal year. We would gladly accept whatever you could offer.

God bless you Mary,

Chaplain Rod Gilliam

We are receiving an increasing number of requests for Psalm 91 Bandanas from National Guard and Reserve Units from all across America.  Many of our citizen soldiers are answering the call, and we want to encourage and support them with their requests. 

The DVD packets are being requested more and more to share the mission and vision of Operation Bandana with church congregations and organizations.
