Annual Gala Program

Faith family and friends,

We are thrilled to welcome you tonight to celebrate Grapevine Faith! Thank you for joining us for what we pray is an inspiring evening together as the Faith family

What a remarkable year it has been a year where we’ve truly seen our students, faculty, and staff shine. We’ve seen recognition for creative arts accomplishments, academic successes in the classroom, and history made on the soccer field with our ladies’ “five-peat” championship. From the stage of our elementary Christmas program to the streets of India, we’ve watched our students step out in boldness to share their faith and their talents with others all over the world

Thank you for being part of the Faith family

Your commitment to Faith is an encouragement to our mission As we partner together, we can provide campus enhancements, new projects, and new programs to help our students excel in and out of the classroom so that they can go into the world and show God’s love - they can truly “Let It Shine!”

Pressing on,

Ed Smith President

Remarks

of Florida and played three years in the NFL, becoming widely known for his Christian faith. He is currently a college football analyst for ESPN and founder of the Tim Tebow Foundation

Tebow was born in 1987 in the Philippines to American missionaries serving in the country. As a senior at Allen D Nease High School in Florida, he led his team to a state title and quickly became one of the top college football prospects in the nation, eventually accepting an offer from the University of Florida.

In 2010, Tebow was drafted in the first round by the Denver Broncos, later also playing for the New York Jets.

After the NFL, Tebow signed with the baseball organization, the New York Mets, and in 2021 he retired from baseball.

Tebow has written four New York Times “Best Seller” books, including Through My Eyes, Shaken: Discovering your True Identity in the Midst of Life's Storms, and This Is The Day. His latest book, released in 2021, is a children’s book, Bronco and Friends: A Party to Remember

Tebow launched his foundation in 2010, a non-profit with a mission “to bring faith, hope, and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need” The foundation has built Timmy’s Playrooms in numerous children’s hospitals and supported lifechanging surgeries at the Tebow CURE Hospital for children in the Philippines.

Ongoing work at the foundation includes providing housing and care for orphans in six countries, offering adoption aid grants for families who may be adopting an international child with special needs, fulfilling wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses and finally, sponsoring Night to Shine, a nationwide prom event for people with special needs.

With the Gators, his team won two Bowl Championship Series titles, and as a sophomore, he won the Heisman Trophy.

Tebow is married to Demi-Leigh Tebow, a South African model and former beauty queen who was crowned Miss Universe 2017.

"Faith is the avenue to salvation. Not intellectual understanding. Not money. Not your works. Just simple faith. How much faith? The faith of a mustard seed, so small you can hardly see it. But if you will put that little faith in the person of Jesus, your life will be changed. He will come with supernatural power into your heart. It can

happen to you."

-Billy Graham
