The 28-year-old television personality recently visited Uncle Dick's Orphanage, home to 49 children and 13 staff in Lamsugod, Surallah, South Cotabato, Mindanao, Philippines. Tebow shared several photos of his trip on social media.

"Spending time with some of my family at Uncle Dick's Orphanage," Tebow wrote on Instagram.

Tebow's father, Bob, founded the orphanage nearly 25 years ago through his Bob Tebow Evangelistic Association. He was reportedly inspired by James 1:27, which reads, "This is pure and undefiled religion, in the sight of our God and Father, to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world."

According to the charity website, the orphanage was named after Richard Fowler, a neighbor of the Tebows, who became like a member of their family. They led him to Christ, and he supported the ministry in many ways through the years, and left a significant amount of money for the orphanage following his death.

Tebow himself was born in the Philippines: his mother, Pam, has in the past (shared or told) how she rejected (an) abortion after doctors told her that killing her baby was the only way to save her life.
