MAKING DISCIPLES WHO MAKE DISCIPLES

ABOUT AIA

AIA is a global sports organization centered in biblical mission. Our vision is to see a day when there are Christ followers on every team, in every sport, and in every nation. Our mission is to build spiritual movements everywhere through the platform of sport so that everyone knows someone who truly follows Jesus.

WHY DO WE EXIST?

Did you know...

-A study done by Barna Research Group says that two-thirds of students involved in church drop their faith in college

-Students are Bible illiterate and do not know how to live out their faith (discipleship)

-Student-athletes find their identity in sports and their ability to perform

-Faith is not a priority because of the demands of school and sport

HERE'S WHAT AIA IS DOING:

-Reaching "every" (team/sport/nation) with the gospel of Jesus

-Changing the trajectory of lives

-Using the platform of sport to be an influencer of the gospel

-Making disciples who make disciples for a lifetime

HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

"Through AIA, I have grown so much in my faith. I have been able to dive deep into discussions about the Bible, which has helped me understand God's character more fully. The Lord changed my heart and has given me peace and joy I never thought possible. I want everyone to experience this and that's why I'm passionate about leading others to Christ"   -Libby Halbmaier, University of Minnesota, Track & Field, Cross Country

"AIA has had a tremendous impact on my life post-graduation. Specifically, how I view my life as a ministry devoted to making disciples who make disciples. While in school and in AIA, I thought what we were doing and what we were being taught were for AIA but little did I know it was going to shape how I saw relationship in every aspect of my life. From parenting, to being a business owner, to mentorship and mentee-ship opportunities. I'm utilizing the skills learned through AIA to be a disciple who makes disciples." -Gaelin Elmore, AIA & UMN Alumni Football
