Missionary Athletes International (MAI) has a passion to share the message of Jesus Christ with people around the world through the sport of soccer. Since soccer is the world’s most popular sport, you can roll out a soccer ball almost anywhere in the world and you will attract a crowd of children. Through the common enjoyment of this world-wide sport, we are able to build relationships that allow us to share the message of God’s redeeming love.

Our Values

  • Urban Block Party

    JOY

    We are playing a game that evokes a sense of fun, childlikeness, and freedom. The way we play our game should be a foreshadowing of and overflow from our relationship with Jesus. Our staff should be joy-filled and we hope that people who encounter our staff would desire to have this joy that is within us.

  • USL2 Players

    INTEGRITY

    We want to have integrity in the game and around the game. We operate in the tension of professional excellence in a competitive environment while not idolizing performance as our identity.

  • Sharing the Gospel

    FAITHFULNESS

    We are bound to the full Gospel which acknowledges sin as the true problem with the world while pointing to the extravagant love of God for sinful and broken humanity evident in the cross of Jesus Christ.

  • USL2 Team Huddle

    COURAGE

    The scope of where we strive to see Gospel change manifested in the whole world. With courage stemming from the love of God, we seek to reach the next player, family, community, city, and country with the Gospel message through competitive sport.
