About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My goal is to strive daily to connect people to a living God, show them a life full of true meaning, and share the journey with love. As a Christian sports ministry founder and a tennis academy owner, God has uniquely positioned me to serve Him...

ABOUT ME

Scott Paschal is a Christian missionary living in the United States.

His journey into service for King Jesus began under difficult circumstances.

As a teen, Scott came from a broken home.

His father left his family, and later, due to the ravages of alcoholism, committed suicide in Scott’s car.

Thus began a decade of confusion and pain for a young Scott Paschal.

Fortunately, Scott’s high school football coach, along with Scott’s girlfriend and his pastor during college, all cared enough to bring Scott through his most difficult times.

They each felt God had a plan for him.

In 1998, while living in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Scott answered the call he had felt for many years and began his work in public ministry.

The pain he endured had come full circle into a desire to help others, as he had been helped.

As a tennis pro, Scott had a vision to use the sport of tennis as a vehicle to reach others in need. His ministry, the International Christian Tennis Association, ICTA, was founded.

ICTA became the first organization in history to provide large-scale Christian mission outreaches to professional tennis tournaments. ICTA Outreaches have attended pro events from California to Texas to Florida offering free Christian materials to nearly two million tennis fans.

Scott Paschal founded a tennis academy to provide high performance tennis training in a faith-filled environment. The academy, since 2001, has hosted full time students from 23 countries and 16 US states.

These junior & pro players have gone on to compete in NCAA tennis on scholarship, travel ITF Pro Circuits worldwide gaining ATP & WTA pro rankings, and have competed in all four Grand Slams… Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and US OPEN!

People worldwide have joined in the vision of the International Christian Tennis Association. ICTA has members in over 2000 cities in over 60 countries.

Living in Palm Coast, Florida, Scott is currently writing a book and preparing to film a video curriculum.

He is married to his amazing wife, Mel,… loves to ride his mountain bike, enjoys coaching and discipling his tennis academy students, and thanks God daily for his blessed life.

The life story of Scott Paschal shares how God can and will reach out to the weak and hurting causalities of life on this earth, and use us for His will to be done and His glory to be revealed.
