What is Athletes In Action
Athletes In Action was founded in 1966 by Dave Hannah, who desired to build on society's great love of sports and to utilize the platform given to the athletes to reach the world for Jesus Christ.
Since then, Athletes in Action has sought to be a global pioneer, innovator, and servant leader in sport ministry. As a branch of Campus Crusade for Christ, AIA exists to bring Jesus Christ and His message of victory into the hearts, homes, and communities of millions around the world.
As of 2006, AIA has a ministry presence in 85 countries, on nearly 100 U.S. college campuses, and on 35 U.S. professional sports teams. Every summer AIA sends teams of college athletes in multiple sports to compete overseas, grow their individual faith, and spread the message of Jesus Christ. AIA's media tools and materials expose millions of sports fans to the good news each year. Countless volunteers, thousands of athletes, and more than 500 staff members stand together to share one message: Life's greatest victory is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Athletes in Action is a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ
Give to Our Ministry
As with most missionaries, we depend upon God to raise up families, businesses and individuals like yourself to support our ministry with AIA. We are full time missionaries who receive our salary, health benefits, retirement, reimbursements, etc. from the support that we raise.
If the support is not in our account because a donor forgets or drops off then we receive short paychecks, can't reimburse ministry expenses and so forth. With the increase of health benefits each year we typically need to raise new support to cover those costs. If you are looking for a missionary/ministry to support then we challenge you to pray about giving to our work with AIA. We are able to use the platform of sports to reach the world with the gospel because sports opens the door and people faithfully give.
If you would like to give to our ministry there are a couple of ways:
- Online - You can give through the Campus Crusades online system which is safe and secure. You can give a one time gift or monthly
- Mail/Phone - you can write a check out to Athletes In Action or Campus Crusade (include a small note with our name and staff account number along with your name) and mail it to Campus Crusade and they deposit it into our account
- Non - cash gifts - You have the option to give stock or mutual funds to us through Campus Crusade and we receive those funds into our account.
