"Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair." -Nelson Mandela

Every year, we send teams to strategic locations where AIA (or Cru) is present. Visiting teams support the local outreach by accelerating the ministry that’s already taking place. These teams vary in skill level – some competitive teams play against national or semi-pro teams, others complete with local university teams. Depending upon the location, mission teams might host sports camps or clinics, or serve through humanitarian aid work.

There are many athletes who desire to participate on an AIA Ministry Opportunity but are unable to raise the need funds due to their economic background. By giving a gift, you can provide funds that will be used to match the amount required by team members for their trip. This reduces the amount required by the team member, but holds them accountable to participate in trusting God to raise up partners to support them.
