George Hill is on move in Haiti!

For the first two days of his visit, George Hill of the Indiana Pacers was working with kids on the NVM compound. But on Tuesday we ventured up the mountain side to visit Quisqueya Christian School. This is an international English school with 300 students. During our time at the school George had the chance to speak to the students and to have some fun with them. The group then played soccer with some of the student which was great fun. And finally, we returned to the basketball court. They brought up two teams to play a short exhibition game, George took part in a rapid-fire shooting contest (which he easily won) and conducted a press conference which was broadcast across Haiti. All in all it was a successful and fun day. And to bring it all alive, here are the pictures.

Sharing his life, lessons and testimony to the students

And a little bit of showing off (the kids loved it!) 
A quick game of Knockout with the students 
George let the last student win to get a "no uniforms" day!! He was mobbed.
George signed over 100 autographs after the session

George's first sport was soccer 
He plays with intensity!
And he "loves" to play 
George and our crew watched a short exhibition game

Lightning - How many 3-point shots you can make in one minute 
George won - 18 out of 25! 
The press conference

It was both fun and a privilege to have George Hill in Haiti. Pray with us that his work and ministry off the court will continue on and be strong! He is a great guy with a big heart. And I think I am rapidly becoming an Indiana Pacers fan. I will be watching and routing for you George! Let's cheer him on together.

Serving on your behalf in Haiti,
