"I am 76 years old and I did not get my first bible until I was 62. Athletes in Action came into my life and changed it from darkness to light. I pray the same for all of these young athletes."

"I’ve been a part of AIA virtual bible studies with other professional athletes for about 5 years now and it is a critical part of surviving the long basketball season abroad. Sometimes it gets lonely and your faith is challenged when you’re thrown in to remote towns, cold winters, and places that don’t speak English. The weekly studies with other people in similar situations is so encouraging and has been a great source of community. It holds me accountable to stay in the Word and I’ve learned a lot about how to apply scripture and grow my Faith in my everyday life as a pro athlete."

"You guys allowed me to show vulnerability with my teammates in ways I've never seen before ... Xenia, OH has gone from a place I've never heard of before to a place that I'll hold close in my heart forever. You guys are doing amazing work ovr there and I hope to be part of that kind of stuff someday."

"I can’t put it into how thankful I am. To be honest, it’s not even the training that I’m so thankful about. What you guys did for me is incredible."
