Ministry of Lireesa Gokhool-Jefferson

You know that feeling when your passions and purpose come together? That’s exactly how I feel about stepping into my full-time role with Athletes in Action (AIA) Canada.

During my five years at Queen’s University, I played basketball and had the privilege of leading the AIA Bible study for five semesters. What started as a small group of 8 grew into a community of more than 40+ athletes where they could explore their faith, build meaningful relationships, and discover how Jesus could transform every area of their lives.

I witnessed firsthand how God uses sport to open doors for the Gospel, whether through supporting athletes navigating career-ending injuries, giving away more than 25 Bibles, or watching so many people come to know Jesus and grow in their faith.

Now, I get to continue that mission! As AIA staff campus staff I will be leading and planning the bible studies, building relationships with the varisty athletes, sharing the Gospel, encouraging them in their faith, and helping them grow as disciples of Jesus and more! I'll also be using my passion for storytelling and digital media to manage AIA's social media, create video content, graphics, and share stories of how God is moving through sport in our commuity!
