JOHN HECK has retired from the CASA Network Board of Directors after having faithfully served for twelve years. John also was one of the Board representatives to the Board of Total Living International during CASA’s affiliation with that organization.
Born in a small Illinois town, John and Ruth have lived in foreign countries and different areas of the United States. John has given much of his life to fundraising and estate planning for Christian ministries, first as a missionary in Japan, then later with Seattle Pacific University, Fuller Seminary, Pomona First Baptist Church, and for seventeen years as Director of Planned Giving at Atherton Baptist Homes in Alhambra CA, where he and Ruth currently reside. John and Ruth have been married over 40 years.
John continues his supportive interest in the ministry outreach of CASA Network and looks forward to any opportunity he can to further the cause of inspiring and equipping the Church for ministry to and through adults in life’s second half.

It has been a privilege to work alongside of John Heck these past years. He has always been an enthusiastic and visionary leader. He will be sorely missed by me and by all of CASA Network.
John Heck continues to be a long-time supporter and influence in CASA Network. I have looked to him often for his counsel and encouragement. Thanks so much, John. May the Lord richly bless each new day in your life journey!
