Chiefs Heiress Ava Hunt Begins Youth With A Mission Discipleship Training

Ava Hunt, the youngest daughter of Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt and his wife Tavia, is embarking on a significant new chapter by taking a gap year to join Youth With A Mission (YWAM), beginning with discipleship training in Hawaii followed by global missions. This decision marks a departure from her previous college life at Southern Methodist University and her visible presence at Chiefs games, where she had been a familiar figure. Her mother, Tavia, expressed a heartfelt and emotional farewell on social media, reflecting the bittersweet nature of motherhood and pride in Ava's commitment to her faith and calling. YWAM’s Discipleship Training School blends classroom learning with practical service and worldwide outreach, serving as a structured faith formation experience. Ava's transition has drawn public attention given her family's high profile in the NFL community, with Tavia emphasizing her prayers for Ava's protection and the open door for her return home. Ava herself shared an emotional goodbye to Arrowhead Stadium, signaling her deep connection to the Chiefs and readiness for her new mission journey.
