EXCERPTS: …..”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 . . . Shortly afterwards, Bob and Pam gave birth to their
son, their fifth child, after what turned out to be a difficult pregnancy.
“The placenta was never properly attached, and there was bleeding from the get-go,” Bob told SI. “We thought we’d lost him several times.” . . . Pam contracted amebic dysentery early in the pregnancy and that put her in a temporary coma . . . Then, after refusing the abortion, Pam gave birth to Tim on August 14, 1987 and named the baby Timothy Richard Tebow.
“All his life, from the moment he could understand, I told him, ‘You’re a miracle baby,’” Bob told Sports Illustrated in July 2009. “‘God’s got a purpose for you, and at some point I think He’s going to call you to preach.’
He concluded: “I asked God for a preacher, and he gave me a quarterback.”
