In fact, my affinity for this remarkable young athelete just ticked up another notch, and not merely because I just watched him drive the Broncos 95 yards for yet another improbable game-winning score against the New York Jets on Thursday night.

The hospital itself will be "a 30-bed surgical facility focusing primarily on orthopedics" to treat early childhood conditions such as clubfoot, bow legs, spinal deformities, etc. According to CURE's Mark Necht, it will also meet spiritual needs: "The medical care is our vehicle to share the Gospel with the patients and families we serve."
In his official statement on the project, Tebow affirmed his continuing commitment to his childhood home: "I was born in the Philippines and my parents have been missionaries to that area since 1985. The Philippines have always had a special place in my heart." The funny part is, most Filipinos don't even watch football. Basketball and, of course, boxing are far more popular in the country where Manny Pacquiao is a congressman.
Still, maybe now that will change just a little, seeing as there is at least one football player with an affectionate eye on them.
I admire Tim Tebow and pray God continues to bless this young man. Thanks for this update on his ministry in the Phillipines.
