Tim Tebow Honors Father’s Mission, Encourages Others to Continue His Evangelism Efforts

Tim Tebow has invited people to honor his late father, Bob Tebow, by celebrating his life of evangelism and continuing his mission. Following Bob Tebow’s death at age 78 on April 23, Tim shared on social media that his father dedicated his life to ensuring people had the chance to hear the Gospel. He emphasized that this was not for fame or recognition, but because Bob loved Jesus and people, and could not imagine keeping that to himself. Tim wrote, “Thursday, we get to honor that. We get to look back at a life…”

Bob Tebow served in campus and pastoral ministry before becoming a full-time missionary in the Philippines with his wife, Pam. While they were there, Tim, the youngest of their five children, was born. The Tebow family’s commitment to evangelism and service was evident throughout Bob’s life. Tim shared that his father most looked forward to seeing Jesus “face to face” in heaven, a hope that continued to inspire him even as Bob faced Parkinson’s disease, which was diagnosed in 2016.

The Celebration of Life service for Bob Tebow is scheduled for May 7 in Jacksonville, Florida, at The Church of Eleven22, a nondenominational church where Tim is a member. The church is founded and led by Pastor Joby Martin. Tim encouraged attendees to “bring a friend, carpool together, and come join us,” stating that he could not think of a better way to celebrate his father’s life. The event will include reflections on a life of significance and what makes life worth living.

In a post on April 26, Tim thanked people for their prayers, love, and support since Bob’s passing. He shared that the family had been touched by the many stories people shared about his father. Tim also posted a photo of his father with the words “Well done!” and wrote, “‘Atta boy.’ That’s the phrase my dad longed to hear whenever God would welcome him home. I believe he heard it loud and clear after decades of serving so faithfully.”

Tim’s public tribute to his father reflects a deep respect for his father’s legacy and a desire to carry forward his mission. Bob Tebow’s life of service and faith serves as a testament to the impact of dedicated evangelism. His story aligns with the biblical call to love God and neighbor, as described in Micah 6:8, which reminds us that what God desires is to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him.
