Berean is a ministry dedicated to reaching the United States Armed Forces with the Word of God. Let me introduce myself. My name is Patrick Hayes.

I am the founder of Berean Armed Forces Ministry. I would like to give you a brief testimony and a few facts about Berean Armed Forces Ministry. Following the terrorist attacks on 9/11//01, our Lord called me out of my factory job in North Carolina and showed me a way to share thousands of Gospel tracts with those who are protecting our country and churches. My first mission trip was to Ft. Bragg on 10/01/01. Since that day, I have, by God’s grace, shared about 300,000 Gospel tracts at military installations. My method is simple: we start by collating some wonderful Gospel tracts with a handwritten thank you note from other labourers who are concerned about the salvation of our troops. The tracts and notes are then compiled into an attractive pocket folder designed for a soldier, and I take them to the streets (Luke 14:23). Starting at about 5 a.m., when the traffic is very heavy, I stand at the last intersection outside the gates of the base where I have chosen to hand out the folders. I have plenty of time to talk with the driver before he or she enters the base. Over 29,000 drivers have accepted the packet. All materials are being provided through my work with churches and individuals who are concerned about the salvation of our soldiers. I hope that you will pray for the salvation of those who are protecting our freedoms while serving in the Armed Forces. Please contact us if you would like for us to send you some thank you cards that you and your church can fill out for our soldiers. I invite you to join us in our effort to reach every member of the Armed Forces with the Gospel packet. You can contact me personally at (704) 466-5517 to schedule a time when we can come and share this work with you. We would love to hear from you. May the Lord richly bless you for all you do for Him. In Christ,
Brother Patrick Hayes, Psalm 20:7

⚓🇺🇸 Happy 251st Birthday, United States Navy! 🇺🇸⚓

On October 13, 1775, the United States Navy began a proud legacy of courage, honor, and service to our nation.

American Gold Star Mothers, Inc. proudly honors all who have worn the Navy uniform, those serving today, our Veterans, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

To our Navy Gold Star Families, your loved ones' service, sacrifice, and legacy will never be forgotten. Their courage lives on in the hearts of a grateful nation.

Happy Birthday, U.S. Navy! Fair Winds and Following Seas! ⚓💙

🇺🇸⭐ GOLD STAR MOTHERS & FAMILIES DAY ⭐🇺🇸
Sunday, September 27, 2026

Today, we pause to honor the mothers and families who carry the lifelong legacy of a loved one who gave their life while serving our nation.

⭐ THE HISTORY OF THE GOLD STAR

The tradition of the Gold Star dates back to World War I. Families displayed service flags in their windows to show that a loved one was serving. A blue star represented a family member serving in the military. When that service member died, the blue star was replaced or covered by a gold star, signifying the family’s tremendous loss.

Today, the Gold Star represents much more than a symbol. It represents love, sacrifice, loss, remembrance, and an enduring commitment to never forget.

Behind every Gold Star is a story.
Behind every Gold Star is a family.
Behind every Gold Star is a life that mattered.

Today, we remember the fallen and stand beside the mothers, fathers, spouses, children, siblings, and families who continue to carry their legacy.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸⭐

America’s Gold Star Families
Honor • Hope • Healing
