Beautiful Feet using the Beautiful Game to share a Beautiful Message

India Feet on ball.JPG

It’s been called "the Beautiful Game" – soccer, the world’s most popular sport. It’s a simple game that ignites passions and generates worldwide attention - more countries belong to FIFA, the organization that governs international competition, than belong to the United Nations! It’s a game played on immaculate grass fields in stadiums that seat 100,000 people and in narrow alleys of slums with balls made out of plastic bags. Roll out a soccer ball almost anywhere in the world and you will attract a crowd.

Missionary Athletes International (M.A.I.) was founded on the simple premise that, through the common enjoyment of this world-wide sport, we would be able to build relationships that allow us to share the Good News – a Beautiful Message of God’s redeeming love for people of every nation. MAI has ministered in over 30 countries on six continents through the platform of soccer since its founding in 1983.

"How Beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news" - We want to have Beautiful Feet by using the Beautiful Game to share a Beautiful Message. Come join us!
