ABOUT US:
We work with Athletes in Action. AIA is a division of Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ). After serving as Area Coordinator for Cru’s East Asia Area of Affairs for 17 years, we now serve on AIA’s Global Events Team, helping to equip indigenous national leaders in sports chaplaincy and sports ministry growth. Our personal ministry in the Phoenix area is evangelism and discipleship of college and professional athletes. Some of the teams we minister to are the Arizona State University Women’s Basketball team, the Seattle Mariners baseball organization, the Phoenix Rising FC, and the Arizona Rattlers (Indoor Football League).
HOW TO PRAY:
- Path to Paris Project – Dave is responsible for directing this project to take place during the Olympic Games in the summer of 2024. This multinational project will provide chaplaincy training and encourage chaplaincy ministry opportunities for delegates in attendance. Pray for wisdom as he leads and for the Lord to provide financially for this endeavor.
- ASU Women’s Basketball – Pray for deepening relationships with the girls on the team, as each season brings change and new opportunities for spiritual growth.
