MAI
The Orlando Eagles are a Division of Missionary Athletes International (MAI). MAI was founded in 1983 with a mission of glorifying God and seeing lives transformed by sharing the message of Jesus Christ through the global environment of soccer. Today, MAI has 6 Divisions in the United States, located in: Orlando, Florida, Southern California; Charlotte, North Carolina; High Point, North Carolina, Chicago, Illinois, and Phoenix, Arizona with additional ministry affiliate programs occurring in other states and countries around the world.
Missionary Athletes International has a passion to share the message of Jesus Christ with people around the world through the sport of soccer. Since soccer is the world's most popular sport, more countries belong to FIFA (the organization that governs international competition) than belong to the United Nations! Roll out a soccer ball almost anywhere in the world and you will attract a crowd of children. Through the common enjoyment of this world-wide sport, we are able to build relationships that allow us to share the message of God's redeeming love.
