Tebow, mother of NFL quarterback Tim Tebow, is a former missionary to the Philippines and the wife of an evangelist. She and her husband Bob have five children and four grandchildren. The notoriety of the Tebow family increased when Tim, their youngest son, won the Heisman Trophy following his sophomore football season with the Florida Gators. Because ESPN aired the portion of an interview with Pam that focused on her refusal to abort "Timmy" when she was advised to do so, she has gained a national platform for the pro-life message.

Elliff spends much of her time traveling with her husband Tom, who serves as president of the International Mission Board. The Elliffs served as Southern Baptist missionaries to Zimbabwe in the early 1980s. He also pastored churches in Arkansas, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas. Eleven of their 25 grandchildren live overseas.
