Third, some of you may have seen my (Pastor Wayne's) comments about Tim Tebow quoted on various News Sites on the Internet. It all started with a misquote from TMZ saying that I was Tim Tebow's Pastor (what a vicious rumor =) (jk). TMZ made that assumption because of our relationship with Pastor Bob Tebow and our missions partnership with them in the Philippines and then TMZ misquoted and omitted some very important clarifying statements of mine. The most glaring of which was this:

  

TMZ: We asked Hanson if Tebow would be winning games if he wasn't such a strong believer -- and the pastor replied, "No, of course not."

 

What was ACTUALLY asked was:

 

TMZ: "Does God deserve the credit when Tim wins?"

Pastor Wayne said: "Of Course He Does. But like our old friend Reggie White used to say, 'We praise God when we win.   And we praise God when we lose. God is good all the time.'" (TMZ of course left that last part out).

 

We just thought you'd like to know the truth in case it comes up. Pastor Wayne has been inundated with media requests from all over the country, but at the request of Pastor Bob, he has turned nearly all of them down at this time. The only information we are releasing at this point are to trusted media sources and Christian organizations.   We appreciate your prayers as our ministry and pastor have been thrust onto the national stage when it comes to Tim Tebow and his faith. Of course we are so very proud of what Tim Tebow has been able to accomplish during his first games as a starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos and for the glory of Jesus Christ, but to clarify...Tim does not attend Summit Church, Pastor Wayne is NOT Tim's Pastor...Tim is just a little too busy on Sundays doing the Lords work in his own way.

 

Fourth, Our Holiday Schedule. Don't forget, our Christmas Eve Service will be held at 5:30p at Castle View High School Auditorium (Saturday, Christmas Eve) and 10:30a on Sunday, New Years Day, we'll be doing our Points of Passion Missions Sunday focusing on the Philippines (upcoming trip with the Tebow Family: June 30th-Aug 5th, with 2 week, 3 week and 5 week trips planned: $3,300, $3,900 and $5,100 respectively (approximate costs: includes airfare and nearly all expenses, except a $25 airport exit fee). Visit Bob Tebow's website www.BTEA.org  for more detailed information. On New Years Sunday, we'll celebrate what the Tebows are doing for the Phillipines, for the Sanctity of Human Life, and for the national dialog that Tim Tebow has sparked about his faith. Plus, we'll challenge you to local and global evangelism in 2012. As we get ready for 21-Days of Prayer and fasting in January (1st-21st or 8th-29th), www.Awake21.org we'll be crying out for the salvation of millions of souls during God's Last Days Harvest! May all God's Rich Blessings and Love rest with you and your Family during this Holiday Season.

 

Love in Christ,

 

Pastor Wayne and Kim and Hanson
