After the Orlando shooting, Christian football star Tim Tebow left the Bahamas and went to visit a former football teammate, one of the 53 people injured in the shooting.
According to Twitchy.com, when Tebow heard that his former high school
teammate, Rodney Sumter, was injured in the Orlando shooting which took
the lives of 49 and injured 53 others, he left the Bahamas where he was
vacationing to visit Sumter.
Sumter was a bartender at Pulse nightclub in Orlando where the shooting
took place. He was shot three times by the gunman, but survived.
Tebow wasted no time in visiting Sumter at Orlando Regional Medical
Center. While he was there, the former Heisman trophy winner also
visited some of the other victims of the shooting who were recovering.
Sumter posted a photo of himself and Tebow to Instagram with the
caption: “My high school quarterback left the Bahamas to come and see
me. Tebow has always been an awesome person.”
Tebow himself did not publicize the visit.
Sumter also posted a verse from Isaiah to his Instagram, thanking everyone for all the support he has received:
“No weapons formed against me shall prosper. Life changing experience
and I don’t want to do anything but share my testimony and turn my life
over to the lord. I don’t have my phone so I can’t respond to you all
through text or Facebook just yet. … But thank you so so so much for the
heavy support that I have received. It definitely hasn’t gone
unnoticed.”
