More About Us
The story of ISF begins nearly 30 years ago. Missionaries serving people around the world realized that sports was an incredible tool for developing relationships in cross-cultural settings. However, there always seemed to be a shortage of sports-minded volunteers to go and help. God began to draw people together to form this Federation specifically to recruit, train and mobilize sports volunteers.
What started out with just three teams and one staff member in 1993, has grown into an incredible network of like-minded staff and volunteers. We now have 18 staff members in six countries and several states here in the US and there is always room for more! Let us know if you have any interest in being part of a dynamic growing team.
power to change the world...
"Sport has the power to change the world. It has power to inspire. It has the power to unite in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where there once was only despair".

Thoughts From ISF Alumni
I am beyond excited to serve with International Sports Federation. My heart has been touched by the way they use sports around the world to share the Gospel. I know my players that have gone on an ISF project have been profoundly impacted and it is my goal to get as many players as possible to go on a trip before they graduate.
Bruce Deaton Head Coach, Women's Soccer - Evangel University
I had the priviledge to go with my son on an ISF basketball project to Madagascar. To say it was a life changing experience would be an understatment. I literally saw my son change right in front of my eyes. He and I both came away from the trip with a new appreciation for sports as a tool for missions as well as a better world view.
Steve Pulley Parent and Participant
I was at a pivotal time in my life when I discovered ISF. I had no idea that sports missions even existed. I have loved and played soccer all my life and to be able to use it for missions has been amazing. I would tell you that if you have any desire to go on a sports mission trip with ISF to do it!
