One World To Reach, One Language of Sport, One Message of Victory Athletes in Action is a student-led sports ministry dedicated to building a community of fellowship founded in the loving character of Jesus Christ. We seek to reach out to students through large group meetings, fun activities, and individual connections. We welcome people of all backgrounds to explore the Christian faith. We meet weekly during the academic year, Tuesday nights at 9pm in Berkeley North Basement, Mendenhall room - alums welcome! “Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it for a crown that will last forever.” 1 Corinthians 9:25 http://www.athletesinaction.org craig.luekens@athletesinaction.orgTumblr (3.0; @aiayale)http://aiayale.tumblr.com/<a href="http://yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-track/2012-13/releases/2013012034khi4">Wilson Breaks School Record in Shot Put - Yale Bulldogs</a>: <p>Go Karleh and Megan!</p>http://aiayale.tumblr.com/post/42154089627http://aiayale.tumblr.com/post/42154089627Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:02:43 -0500<a href="http://athletesinaction.org/campus/winter-retreats.aspx">AIA Winter Retreat coming up!</a>: <p>about 17 students signed up already, and we still have over a week til it starts!</p>http://aiayale.tumblr.com/post/41807280270http://aiayale.tumblr.com/post/41807280270Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:10:04 -0500<a href="http://issuu.com/visionanabaino/docs/ma_report_2012">A look into the larger vision of the local church that supports AIA</a>http://aiayale.tumblr.com/post/36893358136http://aiayale.tumblr.com/post/36893358136Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:38:12 -0500<a href="http://www.yaledailynews.com/videos/2012/sep/26/601/">Mary Beth, one of our leaders, with the YDN</a>http://aiayale.tumblr.com/post/32888190921http://aiayale.tumblr.com/post/32888190921Thu, 04 Oct 2012 16:11:21 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maip435QQP1qm5fuzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>some of our football guys starting a new tradition…. :)</p>http://aiayale.tumblr.com/post/31759124714http://aiayale.tumblr.com/post/31759124714Mon, 17 Sep 2012 19:26:27 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maip1c43nr1qm5fuzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>AIA ‘mixing’ with other Christian groups sat nite in Trumbull basement</p>http://aiayale.tumblr.com/post/31759005109http://aiayale.tumblr.com/post/31759005109Sun, 16 Sep 2012 01:53:52 -0400<a href="http://yalebulldogs.com/sports/m-soccer/2012-13/releases/20120914w7ht3f">Scott's goal lifts Yale past Qpac</a>http://aiayale.tumblr.com/post/31557941559http://aiayale.tumblr.com/post/31557941559Fri, 14 Sep 2012 21:37:40 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9zg0goHW61qm5fuzo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9zg0goHW61qm5fuzo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9zg0goHW61qm5fuzo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9zg0goHW61qm5fuzo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>First large group of the year!</p>http://aiayale.tumblr.com/post/31056214790http://aiayale.tumblr.com/post/31056214790Fri, 07 Sep 2012 09:55:26 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2zneweR0Q1qm5fuzo5_500.jpg"/><br/> Chowin down<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2zneweR0Q1qm5fuzo3_500.jpg"/><br/> Relaxing on the water<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2zneweR0Q1qm5fuzo1_500.jpg"/><br/> April in New England=less warm water ;)<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2zneweR0Q1qm5fuzo2_500.jpg"/><br/> Lots of kayaking!<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2zneweR0Q1qm5fuzo4_500.jpg"/><br/> Some serious 'cornhole'<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2zneweR0Q1qm5fuzo6_500.jpg"/><br/> Dawson with Craig's daughter, Charlotte<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2zneweR0Q1qm5fuzo7_500.jpg"/><br/> A beautiful view from the porch<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2zneweR0Q1qm5fuzo8_500.jpg"/><br/> Rockin into the wee hours of the night<br/><br/> <p>Some shots from our end of the year camping trip.
