We fight for the MVP - the Most Vulnerable People around the world

Jacksonville, FL
22 children located in Missing Child Rescue Operation in Southwest Florida Kids who go missing are especially vulnerable. Every hour they're gone, the risk of harm grows. That's why investigators, advocates, and technology partners came together in one command center with one goal: find every child they could. Our partner, the National Child Protection Task Force, led a coordinated Missing Child Rescue Operation alongside local, state, and federal law enforcement, nonprofit organizations, and private-sector partners. Together, they found 22 kids. We're grateful for the law enforcement agencies and partners who never stop looking. This work is far from finished. We will keep going to find one more child!

“Everyone deserves to be seen and honored.” —Aida, Edison’s mother In Albania, people with Down syndrome are often left on the outside looking in, isolated from society and without the proper support they need. That’s why we partnered with Jonathan Center to provide therapy, holistic care, and the hope of the gospel to individuals and families impacted by disability. We are so grateful Night to Shine is hosted in Albania, where individuals with special needs, like Edison, are celebrated and honored for who they truly are: God’s royalty! Thank you for helping bring Faith, Hope and Love to families like Edison’s around the world!

"My dreams for my daughter — for Alketa to become a lady who is able to manage her personal needs by herself and for me to see her one day walking without my help." -Etleva, Alketa's mother Alketa was diagnosed with Down syndrome at birth and struggled to stay healthy in her early years of life. A year into kindergarten, the doctors told her mother, Etleva, that Alketa also had epilepsy. Having epilepsy made it difficult for Alketa to walk. Because of this, Etleva had to carry her every time they left the house. For Etleva, and so many parents in Albania raising a child with special needs, the journey can feel isolating while they search for support and resources that never seem to come. This is why we partner with Jonathan Center to walk alongside families like Alketa’s, providing developmental support, care, and advocacy to help children with special needs thrive. Since Alketa began therapy at Jonathan Center, she’s grown in so many ways — her speech has improved, she moves with more ease, and she manages her emotions with growing confidence. Today, she’s active, joyful, and thriving in daily life. We are so grateful to work alongside Jonathan Center to bring Faith, Hope and Love to children and families in need in Albania!

In Zimbabwe, thousands of children lack access to surgery for treatable physical disabilities like clubfoot, cleft lip and palate, and other orthopedic conditions. Many children live with untreated conditions or injuries for years, leaving them in pain, vulnerable, and on the fringes of society. TTF partners with CURE International (@cureintl) at the CURE Children’s Hospital of Zimbabwe (@curezimbabwe) to provide life-changing surgeries for children with profound medical needs, removing the financial burden on families. In 2023, we opened the Tebow Care Center to expand CURE Zimbabwe’s capacity by doubling the number of hospital beds available, allowing more children to receive the care they desperately need. Thanks to the generosity of our giving family, more children can receive physical healing that had previously been unattainable. More children and families are also being reached with the love of Jesus through gospel presentations from the CURE team. Since the beginning of our partnership, TTF and CURE Zimbabwe have provided over 1,000 surgeries for children—restoring mobility, renewing hope, and opening doors to brighter futures. Thank you, TTF Family, for helping bring Faith, Hope and Love to these precious children and their families!

We will never forget September 11th, 2001. Twenty-five years later, we still honor the lives lost, the bravery of first responders, and the resilience of survivors. We carry the memory of that day with families who continue to feel its weight, and we remember the strength that rose from tragedy. Lord, we ask for Your peace over those who still grieve, Your comfort over our nation, and Your healing hand over a hurting world. "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18 #NeverForget

Two years ago, we told you 57,000 boys and girls were sitting unidentified in a global database, waiting to be found. Today, that number isn't 57,000. It's over 89,000. Every red dot is an IP address—someone downloading and sharing images of children being sexually abused. Most of them are under 12. That’s over 338,000 IP addresses, flagged by law enforcement in just six months. We're not losing ground because no one's fighting. We're losing ground because the enemy is scaling fast. But here's what's changed since we told you that number: the capacity for victim identification and forensic specialists has gone from 7 to 200 because of The Renewed Hope Act. This is why your support matters. Not because the fight is over — it isn't. Because you're the reason we have a chance to push against this evil.

Imagine being unable to lift your arms — for three years. That was Jocy’s reality after a house fire left her with severe burn injuries and no access to follow-up surgical care. Her arms fused to her body. Her movement was gone. But things began to change when her mother found Tebow CURE Hospital (@tebowcure). There, Jocy received the surgery she needed and the support to heal! Today, she’s not just surviving. She’s thriving. Dancing. Smiling. Lifting her arms in joy. She even attended Night to Shine and walked the red carpet with Tim! This is the power of healing. The power of Faith, Hope and Love. Thank you TTF Family for helping make stories like Jocy's possible! @cureintl

WE MUST DISRUPT THIS MARKETPLACE. Every day, thousands of sex ads are posted online that feature children. Sex buyers browse the internet for boys and girls like they are shopping for furniture. This is a demand and a marketplace we must disrupt. Exploitation hides in plain sight, but we see it, and we are not backing down. Will you help us expose these buyers and protect the vulnerable to stop more of this evil before it starts? ➡️ timtebowfoundation.org/disru…

It started with an online friendship. A boy who claimed to be 16, just like Lily*. But when she stepped into his car after Bible study, the devastating reality hit: he was in his 30s. Lily was exploited for 14 days before a detective, armed with a tip from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and the power of Spotlight by Canary, located her and brought her to safety. Spotlight is an intelligence tool that helps investigators quickly find vulnerable children being sold for sex online so that they can locate and safeguard them. For over a decade, Spotlight has been a critical resource for investigators—helping to identify more than 28,000 juveniles trafficked for sex online. Will you help us get this technology into the hands of more investigators to bring these children to safety, faster?

Each transformation represents a child given new opportunities, renewed confidence, and hope for the future! We are grateful for every patient, caregiver, medical professional, prayer, and member of our giving family who has helped make this milestone possible. Praise God!

🚨 Operation Red Light Dismantles Major Sex Trafficking Network in Southwest Florida Operation Red Light—a massive, two-year multi-agency investigation led by the INTERCEPT Task Force—dismantled an organized sex trafficking and prostitution ring operating out of Lee County, Florida. The operation was the longest and most complex investigation in INTERCEPT's history. Over the course of the investigation, law enforcement uncovered a criminal enterprise operating brothels out of storefronts and residential properties across Southwest Florida. Eight search warrants were executed simultaneously, resulting in the arrest of 10 individuals and the shutdown of locations used to facilitate exploitation. According to investigators, some of these operations were hidden in plain sight—even among other businesses in the community. One location was operating just feet from a daycare. This case is a reminder that exploitation can exist closer than many realize. It also demonstrates the impact of the INTERCEPT Task Force model—a collaborative effort bringing agencies together to protect the vulnerable, pursue traffickers, and disrupt criminal networks. We are grateful to support our partner, Operation Light Shine, and the INTERCEPT Task Force as they work across six cities in the United States to combat human trafficking and exploitation. Every operation like this represents more than arrests. It represents lives protected, communities made safer, and a continued commitment to the fight against human trafficking and exploitation!

More than 19,000 people have made decisions for Christ, and more than 56,000 people have been reached with the Gospel at Tebow CURE Hospital since opening in 2014! Patients and families who walk through the doors of Tebow CURE Hospital in the Philippines not only receive life-changing medical care, but they also hear the truth of the gospel. For many families, this is the first time they’ve experienced both compassionate healthcare and the hope of Jesus in such a personal way. Together, our hope is that through every surgery, every prayer, and every conversation, lives are being deeply transformed! We are so grateful for our giving family, whose generosity helps make life change like this possible. What an incredible reminder that God is moving in powerful ways through this ministry, bringing healing to children and hope to families every single day!

Adaobi was rejected by her community. Some called it witchcraft. But God called her His own. Six surgeries. Months of therapy. A mom who refused to give up. Miracle after miracle. Through it all, our ministry partner CURE International (@cureintl), and the team at CURE Children's Hospital of Zimbabwe (@curezimbabwe) prayed with her family, counseled them, and walked every step alongside them. Today, Adaobi stands as living proof that she was never beyond hope. We're grateful for our TTF Giving Family... your partnership helps make moments like this possible for children across Zimbabwe. There are thousands of children just like Adaobi waiting for medical care that we often take for granted in the United States. Please join us in prayer for all the children and families still waiting. Watch this short video to see the difference that access to surgical care makes in the lives of children in Zimbabwe! timtebowfoundation.org/video…

Meet Theo. A young boy with big dreams and an inspiring story! Theo spent years watching from the sidelines, longing to run, play, and be included at school like other kids. But he didn't have access to the care he needed. Theo was born without legs below the knee, and in Zimbabwe, many children live with treatable physical disabilities and injuries because surgery is often out of reach. This was the case for Theo, until he was connected to CURE Children's Hospital of Zimbabwe (@curezimbabwe). TTF is privileged to partner with @cureintl, to provide life-changing surgeries for children with profound medical needs like Theo! At CURE Zimbabwe, Theo received the surgery he needed and was fitted for prostheses. He learned to walk in physical therapy with the loving care of the CURE staff, and today he can walk independently! "Hopefully I'll be running on these soon," Theo said, referring to his prosthetic legs. Today, he is back in school and loves riding bikes and playing soccer with his friends. Once, walking seemed impossible. Now, Theo dreams of running in the Olympics for Zimbabwe. Through our partnership, more children and families are receiving physical healing that was once out of reach. Beyond that, they are encountering the love of Jesus as CURE staff share the hope of the gospel. Thank you, TTF Family, for helping bring healing, hope, and the love of Jesus to children like Theo! 🙏

Two new campuses in Southeast Asia are now open, expanding care for more than 30 children who are survivors of sexual exploitation We’re grateful to partner with Compassionate Hope to bring healing and hope to vulnerable children through six Compassionate Hope Tebow Village of Hope campuses across Southeast Asia. At each Village of Hope, children receive holistic, trauma-informed care that nurtures more than just their physical needs — each child's emotional and spiritual needs too. One unique aspect of our model of care is that siblings of all ages and genders can remain together, rather than being separated during their healing journey! We praise the Lord that they can find hope together. Over the years, we’ve witnessed incredible stories of restoration at our campuses in the Philippines and Thailand. Now, that same care is reaching even more children in need in Southeast Asia! Please join us in praying for every child stepping foot on these two new campuses — that they would experience safety, healing, restoration, and the life-changing love of Jesus.
