COLUMBUS, Ohio - Tim Tebow was scheduled to appear with televangelist Rod Parsley at a March revival in Ohio. That will not happen.

INTERACTIVE: It's Tebow Time

The Broncos quarterback has pulled out and will not appear with the preacher in March.

Parsley believes that the USA was founded in part to destroy the Islam religion and asked for heavy donations to ward off satanic attacks.

Robbie Tebow said that his brother's speaker's bureau had not researched the event before agreeing to the invitation.

"I know for a fact that Tim is not going to be a part of it," Robbie Tebow said. "That's being resolved."

Parsley's spokesman Mark Youngkin said Tebow has a contract and hopes he will change his mind and appear at the three-day event. "The ball's in their court at this point."
