Florida quarterback Tim Tebow led his team to a national championship last night by beating the Oklahoma Sooners. What many sports fans may not know is that Tim was homeschooled and has spent a lot of time in the Philippines (where he was born) with his parents doing missionary work. The family still makes annual pilgrimages to help the poor. Tebow has often spoke before gatherings of high school students about his Christian faith. Last year, he won the Heisman Trophy. But his siblings are doing big things as well: His sister, Christy, is a full-time missionary in Bangladesh and brother Robby is the area director for the Northeast Florida Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Brother Peter is an intern at the University of Florida’s Campus Crusade for Christ.
