In 1984, a ministry was formed desiring to reach the athletic community with a message of faith, hope and victory. A worldwide ministry reaching the active and retired professional athlete, the collegiate athlete, coaches and other athletic affiliates . This ministry came to be known as Athletes International.

Athletes International reaches out to those in the athletic community who face the same challenges as anyone, however, these challenges differ because their lives are on display for all to see.  The pressures on these men and women are so great, that only faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, can sustain them.

We are a non-profit organization. Our vision is to use the extensive platform that athletes are given to influence their community. Our Annual Awards Banquet honors chosen athletes, coaches, and administrators for their professional achievements as well as their action taken to positively reach their community and the world with the profession of their faith.

Some of our past award recipients include:

• Coach Tom Landry
