Tim Tebow influenced by work, life at family’s orphanage in Philippines
« The last time Tim Tebow visited his father’s orphanage here in the remote hills of Mindanao island, he stood at the edge of a grassy yard & told the children to make a loop with their arms. Then, to their amazement, he threw a football right through them. • Tebow’s father, Bob, founded the orphanage in 1992 as part of his missionary work in the Philippines with the Bob Tebow Evangelistic Association, headquartered in Jacksonville, Fla. He visits several times a year, sometimes bringing with him a group of U.S. volunteers to preach in distant towns & villages.… »See Also:

Terri Blackstock Interview
« Several years ago I learned that my daughter, who was in her twenties, had a severe drug addiction. I did what most parents would do & set out to find help for her. Along the way, I learned a lot of things about addiction & treatment, & I met a lot of other parents & family members who were experiencing the same heartbreak.

Review: Journeys of Faith
« I like Robert Plummer, not just because he’s one of the few elite biblical scholars in the world who is shorter than me, but because he’s edited a lovely book on a riveting subject. Why do some Christian leaders change their denominations, often radically? The book was naturally of interest to me given my own pilgrimage over the past several years. But I really enjoyed reading the stories & testimonies in the book & seeing why people ended up where they did. & then seeing them defend their "conversion" in light of criticism.… » -

But like Kim Newlen’s breast cancer, my ALS has been used by God to accomplish wonderful things for the kingdom, where even the worst suffering opened the doors to a new heavens & earth.… » -
