XENIA, Ohio (BP)--Summer is a busy time of year for Athletes in Action, the sports ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. Between May and August, hundreds of college athletes and AIA staff travel the world to play competitive games, run clinics and attend sports camps.

Each opportunity is used to share the love of Jesus Christ as well as to teach the athletes how to be lifetime ministers of the Gospel.

AIA is traveling to locations such as Spain, Texas, Alaska, Moldova, Guatemala, Brazil, Kenya and the Philippines this summer. Readers are offered a chance to “travel” along with AIA this summer by visiting participants’ blogs at www.aia.com/teamblogs.

Traveling with AIA this year will be Luke Zeller, a basketball player for the University of Notre Dame; Christian Moody, a basketball player for the University of Kansas; Chris Fetter a baseball player for the University of Michigan; Mike Jarvis, a former men’s basketball coach at St. John’s University; and Stan Van Gundy, a former coach of the Miami Heat; among others.
