AIA Mongolia

Funds will help AiA continue to expand its efforts in Mongolia by conducting an Ultimate Training Camp (UTC) for Mongolian athletes.  Basketball and wrestling are key sports in Mongolia.  The UTC is designed to raise the sport skill levels of the participants. as it also raises their understanding of God’s desire for them to use their athletic achievements for His glory, and  as opportunities to spread His good news to  others.  

AIA Argentina

Funds will help AiA Argentina expand it ministry in that country.  AiA currently has an ongoing  staff/volunteer presence in 12 of Argentina’s 23 provinces.  The goal is to use sports-related activities as opportunities to evangelize, disciple, and build cadres of AiA volunteers in the remaining 11 of Argentina’s provinces.

Funds will allow coaches from Cameroon to complete in-person (vs online) training of a team of AiA volunteer athlete-leaders in Madagascar.  The new leaders will then be mentored through the process of using sports activities to establish growing networks of believing disciples within the country of Madagascar and surrounding islands.

A majority of 2026 funds distrubuted are to help expand AiA’s ministry within several countries in the Asian region.  While open to sports, several of these countries are either closed to Christianity by government edict, or resistive to the Gospel by majority populations of other religions.  Even though difficult,  God continues to use the universal language of sports to open doors that lead to new relationships, that lead to the spreading of His Word.
