“I wish the weekend wasn’t over! It was really cool that I got to meet Tim Tebow and it was amazing getting to go to the game and that I got to see the show!”- Matthan Ely
“Matthan is a very special kid who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. However, he tells everyone he meets that he is going to be healed. The idea of not being healed never even enters his mind…He is fearless in the face of sickness and disease and he is going to go around the world telling others about Jesus!” – Valerie, Matthan’s mom
Matthan’s W15H weekend took place in Lexington, KY, for the Georgia vs. Kentucky game. The one-of-a-kind experience started with VIP hotel accommodations, that Matthan described as, “WOW, this is the biggest hotel I’ve ever seen!” Matthan then spent Friday night at a gourmet dinner with Tim and his family.
He spent the night talking with Tim and sharing big dreams and everything he wants to do when he grows up! Matthan’s Dad, Eric, expressed what Tim means to Matthan…
“Tim is a role model for Matthan. His faith, missions work, and the fact he was homeschooled inspire Matthan that he can reach his goals as well.”
We are incredibly encouraged by Matthan’s faith. His love for others is contagious and he inspires us in the way he trusts the Lord and believes in His healing power. We feel honored to stand in prayer with Matthan and the Ely family as they believe for healing and use Matthan’s testimony to bring glory to Jesus…

"Matthan so enjoyed meeting Tim and LOVED the backstage privileges at the show and didn't want to leave the game, but it was all the little details that were put into his W15H that made him feel so special! You all did an awesome and did an incredible job at making him feel the center of attention." - Valerie, Matthan's Mom
