Hugh's News & Commentary

Chaplain, Major (Select) Randy Sellers is now in Bagram, Afghanistan. He arrived there on Monday, July 5, 2010. He is scheduled to be there for six months. He has hit the ground running and has had very little sleep. He has been very busy ministering to the wounded. His sleeping quarters are only 25 yards from the hospital, so he is close to his work and ministry.

We are so close now to raising the money we need for the bandannas for our troops in Afghanistan. We need approximately $692.50 to complete our goal. I will not order the bandannas until I have all the money in hand. We are too near the goal line to quit.

I am asking my readers of Hugh's News to join in what I call a Prayer Shield for Chaplain Sellers and his troops. There is power in corporate prayer and we can make a Prayer Shield from coast to coast, and around the world. We want to pray for Randy's health, his mission to minister to soldiers, sailors, airmen, and guardsmen. Of course, we desire that God will protect him and his men and women in the area where he is serving, as well as in all of Afghanistan. In our prayers, we want to remember Randy's wife, Sheila, and their children.

Secondly, I am asking that your consider participating in giving so I can provide 250 Psalm 91 Prayer Bandannas for Chaplain Sellers to give out. When he gives a bandanna to a soldier, you will be there presenting that bandanna. One of my readers called and told me she was sending $100.

The bandannas cost $7.99 a piece. That is $1,997.50. We only need $692.50 to reach our goal. If you would like to help purchase these bandannas for Randy to give to those to whom he ministers, you may make out your check or money order to Hugh's News, Inc. Then, you can mail it to:

I have given the first contribution to this project. My philosophy on giving is that I will never ask you to give unless I have given. first. I believe that leadership always gives first. That principle is throughout the entire Bible. Jesus said that "It is more blessed to give than to receive."  I believe that. On my tombstone I want these words engraved, "Hugh Morgan was a giver not a taker."

This is one major way you can support our troops in Afghanistan. These bandannas can be carried with the soldier, airman, marine, or sailor wherever they go as a reminder of God's love, presence, protection, provision, and promises.

Thank you for your contribution.
