If Bob and Pam Tebow weren't Christians, their role model son wouldn't be playing in the NFL or sharing the love of God. While living in the Philippines on a mission, Pam was diagnosed with amoebic dysentery which occurs from drinking contaminated water. When she went to the hospital, the doctors found a tumor and also learned that she was pregnant with her fifth child. The doctors urged Pam to have an abortion because the tumor would kill the baby. Throughout the pregnancy Pam almost lost the baby four times, but because of their strong Christian faith, the Tebows kept refusing to have the procedure even though the doctors kept insisting.

On August 14, 1987 Pam received two miracles.The tumor left her body and her new son, Timothy Richard Tebow, was born immediately following the exit of the tumor. Twenty-five years later, Tim Tebow is now a popular quarterback in the NFL playing for the New York Jets. He is also an evangelist sharing the Christian belief in public with no shame. The widely known and admired quarterback/evangelist wouldn't be where he is today if his parents chose the abortion procedure.

This blog is about Tim Tebow, a football player admired by many yet mocked by many others. After college he established his own organization, Tim Tebow Foundation, to inspire and make a difference in people's lives across the world. I chose to blog about Tim Tebow because he is one of my favorite football players, a great inspiration, and a wonderful role model. I am inspired by him because of the way he lives out his faith. I also admire that continues to stay strong despite his haters saying negative things about him. Tim is a good example to many showing that haters are a part of life but an individual should learn to accept and live them. He also shows Christians that their belief should not be a burden but shared wherever they go. He thinks and cares for others before himself hence the Tim Tebow Foundation.

In this blog I hope to teach readers about the Tebow family, their mission trips to the Philippines, the Tim Tebow Foundation, and of course Tim's football career. I hope you enjoy learning about Tim Tebow as much as I do.
