Pray For the U.S.

Did you know that during WWII there was an adviser to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every day at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, for its people and for peace? 

There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America.  If you would like to participate: Every evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central) (7:00 PM Mountain) (6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, and for a return to a Godly nation. If you know others who would like to participate, please pass this along. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have. Please forward this to your praying friends.  You don't have to sign on, or sign up - just pray, and ask your friends to join you in prayer. 

Ed Ganster on American Adversaries Radio

NostraDennis praying Psalm 91 on American Adversaries Radio

Tonight OS91 Founder Ed Ganster was invited to be the special guest on the American Adversaries Radio Broadcast to promote Operation Safety 91's 4th Annual Tribute to Honor America's 1st Responders coming up this Friday, September 30th at the Rosen Centre Hotel. Friends of OS91, Radio Hosts Lar Adams, Chris Hart and NostraDennis warmly welcomed us and helped promote not only the 4th Annual Tribute Event but also the UNO's DoughRaiser going on here in Central Florida until October 9 . Both Events are Fundraisers for OS91 to raise monies for plastic, credit card size Psalm 91 cards for Responders.  In only 8 months by God's grace OS91 has produced and distributed 200,000 plastic Psalm 91 cards all over the U.S. as well as Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan, and Southern Africa!

Special mention was given to COL Danny McKnight of Black Hawk Down, OS91's National Spokesperson, who has been a special guest twice on American Adversaries. Mentioned also was Mr. Harris Rosen, designated by OS91 at our 3rd Annual Tribute Event as "Orlando's Ambassador to America's 1st Responders". Mr. Rosen is greatly appreciated by Central Florida Responders. The highlight of the Broadcast was NostraDennis praying Psalm 91 on the air. (pictured above) 

A retired Firefighter called in to be part of the show and then called OS91 afterwards to put in his RSVP for the 4th Annual Tribute!  A heartfelt Thank you to Lar, Chris and Dennis for your friendship and support and God bless you for what you are doing!

Special honored guests were Captain Johnson and 4 Firefighters of Engine 3 Port St. Lucie County who did not receive any Emergency calls and were able not only to stay for the entire 10 o'clock Service but even helped take down the 8' x 12' U.S. Flag after the Service.

Keynote speakers, Captain Del and Pat Hicks shared their own part of the story concerning God's supernatural, miraculous protection of Del during a plane crash and 40 hours in the frigid waters of the Atlantic. Years of studying, praying and confessing Psalm 91 was their foundation of faith during this crisis and God showed himself faithful during their time of need.

Eagle Scout Jeff Cox and Police Explorer Jeffrey Johnson

Friend of Operation Safety 91, Windermere Eagle Scout Jeff Cox and Police Explorer Jeffrey Johnson help Mary restock our table at "Winter Garden Remembers 9/11" on Saturday before Ed and Mary's trip to Port St. Lucie, FL  for 9/11 Services at Christ Family International Church on 6501 St. James Road. This week at the exhibit at Winter Garden's City Hall the response of the people has been overwhelming. OS91 was restocking books and cards several times daily! A very good attendance shows that we have not forgotten the Events of 9/11....and young men like Jeff and Jeffrey give us great hope for the future of America! Special thanks to Norman Rein for putting this week long Event together.

Iraq Veteran Jason Irwine visits "Winter Garden Remembers 9/11"

Winter Garden Police Officer and Iraq War Veteran Jason Irwine

with Mary Ganster of OS91

It was my honor and privilege today to meet Officer Jason Irwine at "Winter Garden Remembers 9/11" being held all this week in the Council Chambers at Winter Garden City Hall. Jason is an Iraq War Veteran and told me a few stories, one of which was about a little Iraqi girl, who, after some momentary shyness and timidity, presented Jason with a piece of flatbread and then gave him a hug. Jason, that day, was extremely homesick for his daughter and was touched at the Providential timing of this encounter! 

I took the opportunity to give Jason, who had already received a Psalm 91 book a few months back, a Psalm 91 card, which you can see on the bottom corner of his framed medal case.

OS91 appreciates you, Officer Jason, for your service then and now! Know that we pray for you and all our Police and Law Enforcement Officers daily!

Winter Garden Remembers 9/11

Winter Garden's Remembrance of 9/11 on this 10th Anniversary memorial week began with many patriotic citizens coming today to view the tables lining the walls in Winter Garden's City Hall. This Tribute called "Remembering the Heroes", those whose lives were sacrificed on 9/11/2001, is an exhibit in the Council Chambers which will be running from Monday, 9/5 through Sunday afternoon, 9/11.

other memorabilia of 9/11 

Former FDNY Jimmy Brown of Ladder 10, Tower 10, of the Twin Towers Fire Station, was interviewed by FOX News this morning in the Council Chambers and told his 9/11 survival story.  Jimmy is travelling to NY tomorrow morning accompanied by Winter Garden Battalion Chief Brian Sanders and 2 Winter Garden Police to bring down a 700 lb. 16" flange I-Beam from the Twin Towers which will become a Memorial in the city limits. 

Also on display are personal thoughts from Americans, civilians and non civilians: poignant, thought provoking, pain filled. This Firefighter shares why he does what he does.

Former NYPD, also responding to that tragic call 10 years ago was Marvin Vasqquez, who later went on to be President Bush's personal ambassador to go around the U.S. for 1 year speaking about 9/11.
