Tebow’s Face Paint Leads to 150 Salvations
Posted by Todd Rhoades in Current Events on Jan 18th, 2012 | 2 commentsWhen outspoken Christian quarterback Tim Tebow threw for 316 yards to help Denver upset favored Pittsburgh in the playoffs, millions flocked to the Internet to search for John 3:16 — so much so that the day after the game, that Bible verse was the No. 1 search on Google.
As it turns out, some of those Google searches were of eternal significance.
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association reports that more than 150 people have made a decision to accept Christ as their Savior as a result of searching for “John 3:16″ in Google and then clicking on an advertisement for the BGEA’s PeacewithGod.net website. BGEA can track that data because it began advertising on Google on Monday so that people who searched for “John 3:16″ saw an ad for PeacewithGod.net. All total, 8,000 people searching for the verse clicked on PeacewithGod.net.

Now that’s cool!
Part of me wants to dispute the idea that it’s a great idea to make a decision for Christ over the phone with a complete stranger…
…but the other part of me just says, “Wow! That’s fantastic!”
I pray that those 125 people get around a community of faith that will help them plant themselves in good soil and grow in the love of Christ!
