I am not a fan of American Football. All I know is that it is a game where these bunch of broad shouldered guys bumping and tackling around for that oblong ball and the terms quarterback, touchdown and goal are associated with it. Sorry that's the best I could share about football.hehehe However, What made me become interested in this sport is this fella named Tim Tebow. A quarterback from Denver Broncos of NFL. He is making a name in the field of football with his impressive records and statistics at such a young age of 24. He became quite popular not just because of his talent but also of his great faith in the Lord. A man who does not afraid to tell the world who he believes and follows. He makes it a point to share his faith in one way or another even if some people are against it. In 2009, Tim wore a bible verses like John 3:16 and Proverbs 3:5-6 on his eye black. Consequently , the NFL made a rule to banned messages on eye paint, which the media labeled as the "Tebow Rule". They claimed that eye black is used to protect the eyes from the sun and not for any other reason. Tim also has a practice of end-game kneel down as his way of praying and giving thanks to the Lord, Jesus Christ for every victory.

I am deeply curious about Tim that I researched on his background. I found out that he was born in the Philippines. His father is a pastor and together with his mom, went to the Philippines to do missionary works. To continue the works his parents started, Tim through his foundation raised funds to help out orphanages, out-reach programs and other charity organizations. Also, Tim works with CURE to construct a hospital in Mindanao. Aww, Tim has a soft spot for a place where he spent his childhood. Tim Tebow is a Filipino at heart!
Athlete, Quarterback, Spokesperson, Evangelist, Philanthropic. These are just some to describe Tim Tebow as a person. But for me, Tim Tebow is a Man of Faith. He lets everyone know about Jesus as his Lord and Savior. I hope that many men will be raised up just like Tim, a Godly man and proud to be one.
