The call that started it all.

Tim Heston

Tim Heston was a quality auditor at Lochinvar with a good job and a quiet life in Lebanon, Tennessee. But Isaiah 6:8 — “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” — wouldn't let him rest. He and his wife Barbara took vision trip after vision trip until Honduras was unmistakably laid on their hearts. They answered the way the prophet did: “Here am I. Send me.” Out of that yes, Here I Am Ministries was born.

Tim went home to be with the Lord on September 11, 2020 — but the work he and Barbara began is still bearing fruit. [CONFIRM memorial wording with Tim's family before publishing.]
