The young woman was an American missionary serving in the Philippines when in 1987 she went into a coma after contracting amoebic dysentery. She survived but the doctors on the scene afterwards explained that the treatment she had received included strong drugs, drugs that had surely caused irreversible damage to the unborn child she was carrying. Misdiagnoses?The doctors advised her to have an abortion.
But Pam Tebow refused. Her Christian faith taught her the sacredness of all life, and she and her husband prepared to receive their new baby, whatever his physical liabilities, with joy and gratitude. And, of course, they prayed that God would protect their child from any negative reactions to the drugs.
Their faith held. Their prayers were answered. And now, 20 years later, all of America can see the evidence of their confidence as their son, University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, became the first sophomore in the history of the NCAA to win the coveted Heisman Trophy.
