Tim Tebow, a sophomore at the University of Florida, was born in the Philippines in the slums of Mindanao. He is now a football star playing for the Gators and the first sophomore to win the much-coveted Heisman Trophy, given to only the best football players.
His parents were Baptist church missionaries in Cotabato during his conception and birth. His mother contracted dysentery while pregnant; the Filipino doctor recommended abortion but the mother refused. Tim Tebow was born a normal infant.
Tim will most likely be offered a professional football career when he gets out of college but he is considering going back to Mindanao to help run the orphanage that his father founded.
Tim’s truly amazing success story was featured as a cover article in the July issue of the Filipinas Magazine. Read the Filipinas Magazine article
