Athletes In Action

Athletes In Action is a great organization for connecting athletes with opportunities to share their faith through sports.

Check out this article about several Jacksonville Jaguars players taking a trip this week with AIA.

Our desire at Christ's Church is to put our "athletes in action" by providing opportunities to serve locally and around the world on mission trips.

I am proud that our sports program (above and beyond the general church giving) has raised almost $3000 already this year to sponsor a soccer ministry at a church in Tegucigalpa, Honduras! This actually pays the salary of the full time minister for the youth and sports there. It is amazing that his salary for the year isn't much more than $3000.

Here is a picture of some of the kids I met who attend that church in Honduras when I was there last September. This trip changed my life!
