BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Heisman Trophy Award winner and former Florida Gator Tim Tebow, one of the most popular and successful college football players in history, will be coming to Brevard County on Thursday, June 13, to the Maxwell C. King Center for the Performing Arts in Melbourne.
He will be the headline speaker at the ‘Grace for The Family Experience.’
I recently had the opportunity to talk with Trey Ethridge, Founder and Director of MPACT Ministries, the organization responsible for Tebow’s visit to the Space Coast.
Ethridge indicated that the day of the event is important because, “it’s the Thursday of Father’s Day week. We are tying in with the theme of fathers and families, how important it is for fathers to know who they are in Christ, to raise their kids to be the best husband possible.” He continued, by saying, “and then just to look deep inside about who we truly are as God’s children, and that we can handle any adversity in our family through Him.”
Tickets for the ‘Grace for The Family Experience’ may be purchased at kincenter.com or mpactministries.org.
