Tim Tebow Exposes Dark Reality of Child Trafficking
In a powerful and emotional testimony before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance, Tim Tebow, the former NFL quarterback and devoted Christian, revealed the horrifying reality of child sex trafficking in the United States. This dark underworld, often dismissed as a distant issue, is alarmingly present within our own borders, affecting our neighborhoods and even our families.
Tebow, a man of faith and conviction, has taken it upon himself to shine a light on this grave injustice. He shared staggering statistics that underscore the pervasive nature of this evil. He presented a map from the Department of Justice, highlighting over 111,000 unique IP addresses in the U.S. involved in downloading, sharing, and distributing images of child abuse and rape of children under 12 within just the last 30 days.
“This is over the last 30 days,” Tebow explained, pointing to the map. “Every red dot on that map is at least one unique IP address of individuals downloading, sharing, distributing child abuse and rape images under the age of 12.”
For Tebow, these red dots are not just data points; they represent real children who are suffering unimaginable horrors. “Thirteen victims,” he reiterated. “For every one of those red dots, there’s a boy or girl that is suffering on the other end of what they’re sharing, downloading, or distributing.”
This map, Tebow declared, “brings to life the evil that we’re trying to fight.” His call to action is clear: it is time for America to wake up and confront this atrocity with the urgency it demands.
The statistics Tebow shared are just the tip of the iceberg. They do not account for the equally heinous crimes of livestreaming, “sextortion,” and grooming that his organization, in partnership with law enforcement, is battling against. Tebow’s dedication to this cause is unwavering, as he seeks to rally an “army” to combat this evil and perhaps even push for a national emergency declaration to address it.
“So many of these are brutal – brutal – abuse(s) of children,” Tebow said, his voice filled with emotion. “These are boys and girls that can’t fight for themselves. They can’t defend themselves.”
In a shocking revelation, Tebow also highlighted the disturbing fact that the U.S. is the number one payer for livestream rape of boys and girls worldwide. He further exposed that the primary offenders are often biological fathers, predominantly middle-aged, educated Caucasian men. “It’s time we call them out,” Tebow asserted, emphasizing the need for accountability and justice.
Tebow’s testimony is a clarion call for action, urging Congress to provide law enforcement with the necessary resources to combat this scourge. Currently, the Homeland Security Investigations Cyber Crimes Center has only seven victim identification officers dedicated to locating child victims of sex crimes—a woefully inadequate number given the scale of the problem.
“The worst moments of these children’s lives are being videotaped and they’re being shared with other offenders all over the world,” Tebow noted. “Every time an image is downloaded, it creates a demand for these images and these videos. And the only way to meet that demand is with new victims.”
As Christians and patriots, we must heed Tebow’s call to defend the most vulnerable among us. This issue transcends politics; it is a moral imperative rooted in our faith and values. It is time for America to stand up, united in faith and resolve, to protect our children and restore the sanctity of family and freedom.

Faith Facts
- Children raised in stable two-parent married households are statistically more likely to succeed in life
- The Institute for Family Studies found marriages concentrated in wealthier predominantly white suburbs
- Many urban predominantly black neighborhoods have become what researchers call “marriage deserts”
Despite extensive research showing that children raised in stable, two-parent married households are statistically more likely to succeed, a new report from the Institute for Family Studies found that marriages are concentrated in wealthier, predominantly white suburbs but are so scarce in many urban, often predominantly black neighborhoods that researchers have dubbed them “marriage deserts.”
Marriage is one of the most important institutions for passing on faith, values, and stability to the next generation. The findings highlight how traditional family structures remain stronger in communities that uphold these principles.

Faith Facts
- God commands His people to “be fruitful and multiply” as a foundational instruction for human flourishing.
- Britain’s collapsing birth rate threatens the future of families and the strength of the nation.
- Churches are called to support young families and restore a culture that values children as blessings from God.
God tells us to “be fruitful and multiply”, yet birth rates are falling and starting a family is becoming increasingly difficult for many people.
Lois McLatchie-Miller explains why she believes the Church has a vital role to play in helping families flourish.
Christian families are facing mounting pressures that make raising children feel overwhelming. Economic uncertainty, housing costs, and shifting cultural attitudes all contribute to delayed marriage and fewer births.
The decline in birth rates is not just a statistic. It reflects a deeper spiritual and cultural crisis that affects the future of the Church and the nation.
“The Church has a vital role to play in helping families flourish.”
When families struggle, the ripple effects reach every corner of society. Strong churches and communities depend on the next generation being raised in faith and values.
Christian teaching offers a countercultural message that children are blessings rather than burdens. This perspective encourages couples to embrace the gift of life even amid challenges.
“God tells us to be fruitful and multiply.”
Local congregations can provide practical support through mentoring, childcare assistance, and encouragement for young parents. Such efforts strengthen both families and the witness of the Church.

Faith Facts
- Clyde and Gwen Antwine celebrated 70 years of marriage rooted in Christian service and missionary work across Europe and the United States.
- The couple met at a youth camp in Texas and built their relationship on shared faith, mission trips, and a commitment to mentoring young Christians.
- They helped establish a healthy church in Zurich, Switzerland, and continued to serve faithfully at Memorial Road Church of Christ in Oklahoma.
The Antwines first met as teenagers at a two-week encampment at Abilene Christian University. Clyde was 15 years old and sold his FFA prize-winning steer for $40 to attend. That is where he first saw Gwen, then 14, and asked to take her picture.
He carried that photograph in his wallet for five years before they reunited at Abilene Christian during his sophomore year. They married six months later.
“The last day of camp, I worked up the courage to ask her if I could take her picture, and she posed. And I put that picture in my wallet. I didn’t even know her name. I just knew she was pretty.”
After Clyde graduated, the couple boarded a boat for Europe in 1959. They served seven years in Zurich, helping to strengthen a young congregation of the Church of Christ. Their work laid a foundation that still bears fruit today.
Later the Antwines served in the German cities of Augsburg and Munich. After nearly two decades overseas, they returned to the United States. Clyde became missionary in residence at Oklahoma Christian University while Gwen served as office manager for The Christian Chronicle.
“Gwen would get you laughing and see the positive side when things got tough, and Clyde, in his quiet voice, would somehow say the exact words you needed to hear to keep you spiritually grounded.”
Their legacy continues through the many students they mentored for mission work. The Antwines never sought recognition. Their only goal was to prepare others for Kingdom service.
Today, Clyde still carries that original photograph of Gwen from their teenage years. Their story stands as a clear testimony of enduring love, steadfast faith, and lifelong commitment to the Lord’s work.
