Life in and after the military can be hard, and it’s often difficult to find relevant, military-specific programs and tools to help during the ups and downs. Armed Services Ministry is on a mission to equip and assist service members, veterans, and their families to discover God by deeply engaging His Word, so they can experience its life-changing message and have a positive impact on their churches, community, and country. Scripture engagement has proven to rebuild and restore resiliency, heal trauma, and offer hope.

With over 200 years of experience and a passion for people and life transformations, Armed Services Ministry created the Hero Squad Program. From this program, you can receive a curated box with a first Bible and devotional for each child, fun activities, and more. Plus, parents get the chance to connect with other military families. What’s even better, this is free to military families!

Heather Wilson serves as the Sr. Marketing Manager for the Armed Services Ministry team. Heather believes that knowing Jesus and His Word has the power to heal and transform lives and she desires to use her role to spread the word about the tools available from ASM that can help the military community know God and how He specifically cares for them. 

Amanda Sypherd serves as the Hero Squad Program Manager for the Armed Services Ministry team. She has been instrumental in the creation, design, and execution of the Hero Squad Program at ASM.
