Tim Tebow is one of the most beloved sportsmen in America. In an industry filled with showboats and outright idiots, it is nice to see someone like Tebow use his fame and talent for something good. Following a long career in football and baseball, Tebow has dedicated himself to fighting against the scourge of human trafficking.

Tim Tebow’s Fight
Ever since he was a kid, Tim Tebow has had a heart for fighting on behalf of victims of human trafficking. It’s a global scourge that affects tens of millions of people every year.
“It’s such a focus for me because we believe this is one of the greatest evils in the world today,” he told Fox News.
He was motivated to fight on behalf of those who have been trafficked after finding out that his father rescued four young girls from an auction.
The buying and selling of God’s children as if they are nothing more than cattle at the market is happening every hour of every day, and in every region of the world. Please take a few minutes to read the article I just published on @LinkedIn https://t.co/fINap77Mov

“It’s time for Christians around the world to take a stand, to raise our voices and say, ‘No more,'” Tebow wrote in an op-ed for Fox News.
The Tim Tebow Foundation Protection Center
The Tim Tebow Foundation is raising funds to build a protection center in Thailand, one of the hotbeds of human trafficking. This center will provide structure and safe haven for the hundreds of people who might not have a place to go once they are reduced from trafficking.
Put yourself in their shoes just for a moment…
Wouldn’t you want an army of people rallying to protect you? To care for you? To show you what true love is?

Now, the funds are flowing in to protect the most vulnerable. As of this writing, the Foundation has raised over $898,000, far surpassing the $700,000 goal.
So grateful! We’ve already had more than 3,000 generous donors come alongside us to raise $375,000+ for the TTF Protection Center! More than halfway there, ty ?!
It’s so humbling, and inspiring, to see so many people step into this fight with us to protect these brave girls!
