MAI has a passion to share the message of Jesus Christ by using the sport of soccer as a bridge to sharing that message with people around the world.  Soccer is the world’s most popular sport – more countries belong to FIFA, the organization that governs international competition, than belong to the United Nations!  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.
