MISSIONS
Through Missions, we spread Jesus's love to all parts of the world, as Jesus commanded. This may mean we love people in other countries and continents and those in our neighborhoods, towns, and states. Being a missionary is one of God’s great blessings for individuals called to his service in an incredibly special way. Supporting missions through our gifts shows how we love others and love God and helps create disciples everywhere.
Melanie Lamar - Athletes In Action
Striving to see Christ-followers on every team, in every sport, and in every nation.
I serve as an athletic trainer with AIA in Xenia, Ohio, where athletes come from across the US and the world to train and compete! My heart is to care for the whole person (Total Athlete)—physically, mentally, and spiritually. I primarily serve with AIA's residential programs, including the post-grad basketball team and the summer collegiate baseball team. Spending time with athletes in the athletic training room daily and meeting them in their vulnerable moments, especially due to injuries, often opens the door to meaningful and spiritual conversations!
