about
AIA wrestling seeks to equip young men to be leaders in their families, churches, communities, and schools. The dynamic of summer trips set stage for wrestlers to grow in their faith & improve their skills as an athlete and competitor. They teach servant leadership, expand world perspectives, give vision and purpose, facilitate growth, as well as provide an opportunity to experience the power of Christ and the word of our testimonies.

"This was a most eye-opening experience. Not only did I improve my wrestling skills, I also became a more rounded individual and learned to take advantage of opportunities when presented."
Anthony Ashanult
NCAA Champion, 4x All-American, Pan-Am Champion
"This has been one of the coolest experiences I have ever been a part of. Huge thanks to AIA Wrestling for setting this up and making it possible. I have met some amazing people and learned a lot!"
Seth Gross
NCAA Champion, 3x All-American, USA World Team Member and 5th place 2023 World Championships
"Before my AIA trip I was a devoted Christian and wrestler but saw the two as separate. My trip to Mongolia in 2015 left me with numerous lifelong memories, unforgettable experiences, and a network of other great Christian wrestlers. More importantly I was able to see how my relationship with God and wrestling went hand in hand and that by strengthening one I was also strengthening the other."
Ethan Ramos
NCAA All-American Pan-Am silver medalist for Puerto-Rico, Puerto Rico World Team Member, 5th place 2023 World Championships and 2024 Olympian
"My trip with AIA wrestling helped me grow tenfold with my wrestling and my faith. I felt God move personal “mountains” for me through those few short weeks and I continue to utilize the lessons I took away from that time in my walk with God today."
Elias Vaoifi
NAIA All-American, World Team Member American Samoa
