Meet Mr. Tim Case
I grew up in a Christian home and have been a follower of Christ since I was eight years old. After completing high school, I enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard, where I served for four years. Following my military service, I began a 34-year career with Shell Oil in California, working as a systems administrator. During that time, I married, raised two wonderful children, and enjoyed a fulfilling career. In 2011, I faced the difficult loss of my wife, but God blessed me with another chance at companionship, and I remarried. In 2014, I retired to focus on studying the Bible and pursuing biblical counseling, seeking to serve others more intentionally through ministry.
My journey with health challenges began in 1978 when a viral infection severely damaged my kidneys. By 1998, my kidneys were no longer functional, and I relied on dialysis for four years before my sister generously donated a kidney to me, a gift that greatly improved my quality of life. While my health is generally good today, I face limitations on where I can travel due to a compromised immune system. Despite these challenges, my commitment to serving God's people has never wavered.
In July 2020, my path took an unexpected but life-changing turn. I received a message on Facebook from Tugume Alex, a Ugandan civil engineer who had lost his government job and was struggling to care for 30 orphans. At first, I was skeptical and intended to dismiss his request. But as I was reading Job 29:16—"I was a father to the needy, and I investigated the case I didn’t know"—I felt convicted to truly investigate his situation instead of rushing to judgment. With the Lord’s guidance, I connected with local contacts to learn more, and soon after, I found myself working alongside Alex.
In January 2022, I sent my son and a close friend to Uganda to meet with the people on the ground and assess the situation firsthand. Their visit confirmed the sincerity of Alex’s mission, and we began to deepen our partnership. Today, my church, FocalPoint Bible Church, is formally involved in supporting Passionate Hearts Ministries. Together, we are feeding over 300 orphans every month, providing Bibles, and supporting education and vocational training to uplift vulnerable children and their communities.
As the patron of Passionate Hearts Ministries, I am passionate about using my resources, time, and biblical knowledge to make a lasting impact. I now deliver Bible teachings through Zoom to four Passionate Hearts churches monthly, and I look forward to seeing how God continues to open doors for our work.
