About Tim
If we haven’t met yet, let me introduce myself—I’m Tim Maxson, and my wife, Amy and I have been living the Biglife for some time. We were high school sweethearts back in Olney, IL, and on June 15, 1996, we made it official. Ministry has been our calling since 1999, and that calling has taken us on an adventure around the world—from Illinois and Indiana to China, Tunisia, and now the United Arab Emirates.
These days, I serve in Dubai, at one-of-a-kind church that brings together people from over 120 nations! On top of that, I live to make disciples that make disciples—something that has always been close to our hearts.
One of our greatest adventures has been our family. Amy and I have been blessed with five amazing kids who keep our lives full of love, laughter, and the occasional chaos:
• Ruby—our oldest—is married to Jeremy, a youth pastor in Rockford, IL. She’s a graduate of Oral Roberts University, now working on her master’s in counseling at Indiana Wesleyan while serving with Kids Around the World. No grandkids yet… but they do have cats (which I absolutely did NOT approve of!).
• Ryker is diving into a pre-med program at Taylor University, where his passion for both physical and spiritual healing will one day make a great impact.
• Mya (almost a high school grad!) has an artistic soul and a deep love for ministry, serving faithfully in Fellowship Dubai’s children’s ministry. She’s praying about her next steps, and so are we.
• Davis—my mini-me. He’s got a tender heart, an unstoppable drive, and a deep love for both Jesus and sports.
• Silas, our youngest, is a full-fledged soccer fanatic (or football, depending on where you’re from). He’ll talk your ear off about it if you give him the chance! Watching his personality develop has been an absolute joy.
And then there’s Amy. She’s the heart of our home and my greatest partner in ministry. She somehow balances caring for all of us, leading weekly Bible studies, and offering grief counseling—she’s truly remarkable. I fell in love with her when she was 15, and it's only grown over the years.
At the core of everything we do is a deep passion keep living the Biglife by prayer, sharing the gospel, and making disciples who make disciples. Our dream? To see church planting movements all over the world, starting right here in Dubai. We are humbled and honored to be part of what God is doing—and we couldn’t do it without people like you.
Your friendship, love, prayers, and support mean the world to us. Thank you for being on this journey with us! Prayer Points: Find God prepared people Share the good news Disciple them Train them to do the same
A world awaits good news
Biglife empowers believers worldwide to reach and disciple their own people for Jesus, so that a disciple making movement (DMM) of God can grow and grow all over the world. We’ve seen these movements of God happen in places where it takes great faith to even be a Christian, let alone share your faith. It can happen anywhere.
All over Asia, Oceana, Africa, Europe and the Americas, Biglife finds the persons of peace and empowers them to share the Good News—where they live. As a Biglife Team Member and a part of an amazing global team, I invite you to join us on this journey!
