MONUMENT, Colo. – September 9, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Shadow Warriors Project announced today that it received a one-of-a-kind custom engraved rifle from one of the country’s leading firearm manufacturers, Henry Repeating Arms, which will allow the nonprofit group to further its mission of providing post-engagement support and rehabilitation to private military contractors returning from battle. The rifle is being displayed at the organization’s First Annual Golf Tournament & Gala from September 11 through September 12 in Miami, Florida, where attendees can place their bids in an online auction alongside firearm collectors from around the country. All proceeds from the winning bid are being presented directly to the Shadow Warriors Project.
“Words cannot express how grateful we are for this gift from Henry Repeating Arms. The rifle is the most stunning I have ever seen and way above and beyond what I could ever imagine,” said Mark “Oz” Geist, Shadow Warriors Project co-founder. “For this company that already does so much for active-duty and military veteran organizations to recognize the need for support in the often-overlooked segment of private military contractors is remarkable. To anyone considering placing a bid on this rifle, helping us spread the word, or supporting us in any other way, we cannot thank you enough.”
The Shadow Warriors Project was created by Geist, a member of the Annex Security Team that fought the Battle of Benghazi, Libya, from Sept. 11 to Sept. 12, 2012, where he is credited with helping to save the lives of more than 25 Americans. The injuries he sustained in battle prevented his return to normal civilian work, and with no official post-engagement support programs for those in his line of work, he became passionate about making the outlook better for those that would find themselves in a similar situation. The Shadow Warriors Project helps by assisting with medical bills, PTSD treatment, family therapy, and educating the public about this unsung constituency. Geist is also a public speaker and the co-author of the bestselling book ’13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi’.
“After learning about Mark’s service and the story about what he and his brothers endured before, during, and after the 2012 Benghazi attack, I felt the need the need to pull out all of the stops and create a rifle that looks so good it can’t be ignored,” said Anthony Imperato, CEO and Founder of Henry Repeating Arms. “Mark and his foundation have my full, unwavering support, and I look forward to seeing how well this auction goes. We are all keeping our fingers crossed for an auction record.”
The online auction, facilitated by Henry Repeating Arms and Gunbroker.com, is available at https://www.gunbroker.com/item/946003221 and concludes on Friday, September 16, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern. All firearm sales must ship to a federally licensed dealer. For more information about Shadow Warriors Project, visit shadowwarriorsproject.org.

About Shadow Warriors Project:
Shadow Warriors Project is a 501c3 tax-exempt organization dedicated to the support of private military security contractors, conducting paramilitary security operations in some of the world’s most dangerous areas. It is the only charity of its kind. The Shadow Warriors project was created by Mark Geist, a private security contractor, who was injured while protecting the people inside the CIA security Annex from a terror attack on Sept. 12, 2012. His injuries prevented him from being able to return to work, which made it difficult to provide for his family. Because of the “red tape,” financial struggles and little to no support for the men in this line of work, he was passionate about finding a way to help ease the load from already heavy shoulders. Visit Henry Repeating Arms online at shadowwarriorsproject.com, on Facebook at facebook.com/ShadowWarriorsProject, and @shadow_warriors_project on Instagram.

MELBOURNE, Australia – September 9, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
According to Halal finance experts, Hejaz Financial Services, Australians want to see themselves reflected in their financial investments. As the country’s leading diversified provider of Islam finance products and services, Hejaz explains that it is no longer enough for financial advisers to focus only on fees and returns. Instead, Australians want their investments to reflect their moral and ethical values. The growth of Islamic finance has put financial inclusion in the spotlight, says the Hejaz team.
There remains a distinct lack of customer-centricity around financial advice. In the past, advisers have been heavily incentivised to sell products rather than advise their clients on how to improve their financial situation, says the Sharia loans provider.
Consumers have a right to sound, high-quality financial advice and advisers have a duty to act in the best interests of their clients. To do this, there needs to be a focus on representing the views and opinions of clients, both knowing and understanding their individual circumstances. Financial advisers should consider the values of their clients too when assessing which investments to include or exclude from their portfolio, says Hejaz.
Hejaz points out that there needs to be more of a focus on enabling the provision of high-quality, accessible and affordable financial advice. The Halal home loan provider says it welcomes any dialogue at a national level that will allow the industry to better service growing demographics, including the rapidly expanding Muslim community.
Modern consumers want to see a reflection of themselves in their investments, says the Halal loans expert. By taking into account the ethics, religious and personal beliefs of clients as well as their goals, financial advisers can build trust and longer term relationships with their clients.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – September 9, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Terence Ramone Gills, a proud father, stepfather, and grandfather, has completed his new audiobook “Choice”: a fascinating tale which explores how certain choices throughout one’s life can alter their path forever and lead them to a lifestyle from which there is no escape.
Writes Gills, “This is a fictional story about a young man who has the choice to take part in some of life’s greater opportunities, but he chooses some of life’s greatest mishaps, which ultimately strip him of some of life’s more prominent opportunities.”

However, a few wrong choices change his path forever in this stunning tale, leading to him being forced to accept personal accountability for his own actions.

Recent audiobook release “Who Is? Who Is Christ? Who Are You? Who Is the Church?” from Audiobook Network author C. Hysten is a compelling exploration of the important questions that face many Christians in the current world.
NEW YORK – September 9, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
C. Hysten, an educator and student of the Bible, has completed her new audiobook “Who Is? Who Is Christ? Who Are You? Who Is the Church?”: an intriguing book that will help Christians answer the most asked questions in this modern world.
Hysten writes, “In this current crucial age that we live in, to say that the storms of life have increased with greater intensity is a severe understatement. We can agree that the intensity of the storms that we have encountered in recent times has increased exponentially. The torrential rains have flooded our lives with uncertainty and loss of direction. The strong accompanying winds of these storms have blown at a velocity that we never before could have imagined or comprehended. The aftermath of the winds has sometimes caused complete disorientation and disarray. These cataclysmic times have shaken some to their very core and have caused a massive upheaval in the foundations of others. We have been able to handle challenges and situations in our lives before recognizing them as just a part of life. However, it seems the challenges and situations are more complex, and they compound one after another, one on top of another. It has caused us to go back to the basics, and in introspection, we again seek out the truth of who we are and what our purpose is on this earth.”
Published by Audiobook Network, author C. Hysten’s new audiobook is a conversation that engages the discussion of contemporary biblical questions. Hysten understands that many Christians struggle to find balance with spiritual and modern life. This book hopes to help alleviate some of that struggle and improve the listener’s spiritual health.
Hysten encourages listeners to question, “Our journey together will begin the discourse of the following fundamental questions as we discuss who Christ is, who you are, and who the church is.” She wants to engage listeners in a communication that will ultimately be helpful to everyone.
Listeners can purchase the audiobook edition of “Who Is? Who Is Christ? Who Are You? Who Is the Church?” by C. Hysten through Audible, the Apple iTunes Store, or Amazon.
