Tim Tebow – Night to Shine

Tim Tebow is much more than an athlete. Though he has been scrutinized for his throwing ability, he knows that his throwing ability never defined him. As we have seen throughout his college and professional football days, he knew football was temporary and God is forever. What is cool about him is that he always used sports as a ministry opportunity, but it does not stop there. He knows that there is much more to life than sports, which is why he created the Tim Tebow Foundation. One specific thing they do that I want to touch on is Night To Shine.

Night to Shine is a very entrepreneurial venture for the Kingdom of God. On his website, he says the sole goal is to give people ages 14 and up with special needs an amazing night that shows how worthy they are in God’s eyes. Night to Shine is a prom for people with special needs where they get dressed up, makeup done, get limo rides, a nice dinner, and a super fun dance party. I had the opportunity to be a buddy at a Night to Shine at my church. It was one of the most wonderful experiences and it felt like a little piece of heaven because there was just joy and love all around centered around the mission of Christ. Tim Tebow does a wonderful job of bringing the church and entrepreneurship together as he provides a unique opportunity to reach a very overlooked group of people in society. He has provided the church a great way to reach people with special needs through a wonderful evening that puts them at the center of attention.
