Since 2006, Impact Sports International has been using sports to carry out the Great Commission that Jesus gave His followers: to make disciples and take His message of truth and redemption to the nations and everywhere in between.
We are an interdenominational ministry with a burden to reach those at the "ends of the earth" who have never had the opportunity to hear the Good News for geographical, cultural, or political reasons
We believe sports can bridge the language, cultural, social, economic, and political barriers to take the Gospel to places others cannot or will not go.
Our mission is to use sports as a vehicle to take the Gospel to the hard-to-reach, the lost, and the forgotten.
We serve around the world, in prisons in the southeastern United States, and in our local community.
Our vision is to see people come to know Christ as their Personal Savior both locally and around the world, and to see Christians grow in their walk with the Lord by equipping them to share their faith through sports.
Geographical
We serve primarily in the 10/40 Window. North Africa, the Middle East, and most of Asia make up this 10° and 40° north latitude “window” of the world. We go because two-thirds of the world’s population lives there & three out of every five people have never heard the Gospel! Most of these places literally take days to get to!
Cultural
The majority of the followers of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and even those who do not belong to any religion live within the 10/40 Window. The western part of the 10/40 Window, Northern Africa and the Middle East, is predominantly Muslim. South Asia, in the center of the 10/40 Window, is the heart of Hinduism with its 33 million gods. Buddhism influences the eastern part of the 10/40 Window. Buddhism is the primary religion in Southeast Asia. China dominates most of East Asia and is the largest atheist country in the world.
Political
The 10/40 Window is home to some of the most Gospel-hostile areas in the world, both at the local community level and in the national government. Areas here are known for their persecution of Christians ranging from imprisonment, to deportation, and even sanctioned death. Most missionaries gain access to these areas through service-based businesses or direct employment.
