By now, most Americans have heard about the famous Tim Tebow advertisement Focus
on the Family will air during the Super Bowl.
As most people
know, Pam Tebow got sick with dysentery while on a missions trip to the
Philippines and her doctors suggested she consider an abortion because of the
medication she was taking while pregnant with Tim.
She refused, gave birth, and son
Tim led the Florida Gators to a national championship and won the Heisman
Trophy.
During a time
with slightly less national attention focus on his family, Bob Tebow talked with
Sports Illustrated about his son's famous birth story.
"Have you
heard the story of Timmy's birth?" he told the magazine.
"When I was
out in the mountains in Mindanao, back in '86, I was showing a film and
preaching that night. I was weeping over the millions of babies being [aborted]
in America, and I prayed, 'God, if you give me a son, if you give me Timmy, I'll
raise him to be a preacher,'" he recalled.
