Tim's Athlete's in Action Basketball Tour

During the last week of May and the first week of June, Tim had an incredible opportunity to play basketball in Bulgaria and the Czech Republic. AIA is a great organization (Tim is now a volunteer) that allows athletes to take part in trips around the world competing in their sport, learning more about Christ and ultimately share Christ's love with others. They also hope to get guys signed with teams in that particular country for the next season to have more of an impact for the long-term. This was Tim's maybe 7th or 8th trip with AIA and he certainly enjoyed it. The last few trips Tim has taken more of a leadership role as a discipler and host (since part of the trip was in the Czech Republic).

A very nice action photo:


2nd place in the go-cart race. If only they had go-carts that were this nice in the US...no speed governor, racing tires that will spin out, you actually have to use the breaks so its much more challenging and fun:
