About Armorbearers
Armorbearers' mission is to serve those who served because of WHO we serve by modifying, rehabilitating, and constructing the primary residence of disabled or low-income military and veteran personnel.
As we embark on helping our brothers/sisters-in-arms and stepping out into deeper waters, we pledge to always remain focused on Kingdom results and not earthly prizes. We have put into motion something much bigger than ourselves, something that can lead an individual to Christ and change legacies. Our military takes up arms and armor to defend the God given freedoms that we are so blessed to have as a nation. Courageousness can open the door to the miraculous. If you see a need, meet that need.
One hundred years from now, people will not remember how much money we had or what size fish we caught, what will have the most influence on earth and in Heaven is how we lived our lives and the impact it had on others. As Armorbearers, we are prepared and equipped to carry the armor of wounded warriors. God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
