About Wrestlers for Christ

Wrestlers for Christ was founded in 2008 by Brett LaMar and Michael Vander Linden. As high school wrestlers in Kansas, these two young men wanted to glorify God and spread their faith through the sport of wrestling. Since then, W4C has grown into a viable ministry and is reaching out to and impacting the wrestling community beyond the wildest imagination of these two young men following God’s lead.

Today, Wrestlers for Christ continues to stay very active at every level of our sport, from Kids Club through Collegiate Wrestling under the leadership of our W4C Director Kelly Benton and a team of passionate board members.

Our desire has always been and will continue to be focused on Building Champions on and off the Mat for Jesus Christ. We are committed to taking action through the W.O.R.D. Wrestling, Opportunities, Resources, and Discipleship. It is our belief that these four areas of ministry will impact and expand the vision of Wrestlers for Christ to the greatest extent. ​

Wrestling is at the heart of ministry in Wrestlers for Christ. Our role is to minister to the wrestling community by encouraging and equipping them to know and serve Christ.

Opportunities are provided for wrestlers, coaches, officials, and more to serve and lead for Christ. These opportunities include; prayer before meets, wrestling camps, coaches clinics, speaking engagements, and one-on-one interaction that will aid in building long lasting relationships.

Resources are the tangible “tools” that allow us to reach a broader segment of the wrestling community. Offering relevant and authentic resources such as media, devotionals, bibles, and books — by wrestlers for wrestlers — gives us connection points with huge rewards. ​

Discipleship keeps us actively involved with the wrestling community at a local level and beyond. Through discipleship, we strive to provide opportunities for individuals or groups to be educated by strong Christian leaders from within our wrestling community.
