As just a five year old little girl, Amanda accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior. This was during the month of August 1988. In September of that same year, she was baptized. During the summer of her 5th grade year (while accompanied by her godly parents), Amanda was privileged to go on her first missions trip with SCORE. The summer prior, while attending camp at Ft. Bluff in Tennessee, she surrendered her heart to the Lord to be whatever kind of missionary He wanted her to be.

Since taking her first trip at age 11, Amanda has been blessed to travel on 7 additional SCORE trips, as well as, serve three different summers as a SCORE Intern, in the countries of the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica.

Natives of Decatur, Alabama, Tommy and Heather Kyle were married March 24, 2000. They are the proud parents of two sons, Jackson and Brayden and daughter, Kennedy Mae. Both Tommy and Heather have been involved in athletics and people since their high school years. Most recently, Tommy has been Athletic Director, Varsity Boys Basketball Coach and History Teacher for Decatur Heritage Christian Academy (Decatur, Alabama), his first and only job out of college. Heather is a cosmetologist by degree, Decatur Heritage Christian Academy Varsity Cheerleader Sponsor and homemaker.

Since 2003, God has opened a door for the two of them through SCORE International to take Division 1 athletes over seas to play basketball and share the gospel. During these trips, they have been able to pour their lives into young men and develop lasting, God ordained relationships. Realizing a great need, Tommy and Heather are answering God's call to invest their lives to disciple and love college athletes. Just sharing Christ with these young men on these trips is not enough. Athletes need to be plugged in with a mature Christian, be nurtured and helped to grow spiritually.

Tommy and Heather will serve as character coaches for the men's basketball program at the University of Alabama. They will be missionaries serving in Tuscaloosa with the desire to reproduce this ministry across the country, carrying their vision, sharing the love of Christ and growing athletes to become mature Christians.

Christ is Tommy and Heather's model who preached to thousands but poured His life into twelve, growing them in the knowledge of Him and His plan for their lives. Likewise, Tommy and Heather's goal is to invest their lives in the lives of athletes and coaches with the hope of impacting the lives of athletes eternally.
