Cruz Tinti Patzan
Pastor of: Nueva Jerusalen

Hello. My name is Cruz Tinti Patzan. My wife and I have been pastoring our church, Nueva Jerusalen (New Jerusalem) in the town of San Matias (about 45 minutes from San Raymundo) for 35 years. Casas has provided 10 homes in the community where we serve, and we have seen our church grow over the last four years through the families that have received homes through Casas por Cristo.

Welcome Video

Hey, my name is Kyle St. Amand, and I am from Hartselle, Alabama. I first served with Casas while my home church was doing their first build in Acuña in 2011. I have been working for Casas since October of 2017 and have been in the Guatemala location since January 2018. I married my beautiful wife, Hannah, in May of 2019 and she moved down to join me in Guatemala the day after our wedding. We have been enjoying this experience that God has put us on and look forward to what he will provide in the future. God is doing great things through this ministry, and we are happy to be a small part of it.

Welcome Video

My name is Estefania Soto, and I attend the University of Texas at El Paso. I graduated in May 2020 with my Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering, and I love construction. After my first internship with Casas in 2017, I received the opportunity to help manage the construction of a 1.1 billion dollar hospital for the past three years. This year, I’m so thrilled to be able to return to Casas por Cristo and be the hands and feet of Jesus. This season has been a whole new lesson of faith. I will be graduating, going to Juárez, and then moving to California quickly after I return. There is a lot of planning and trust as I enter a new season, slowly stripped away from my comforts. However, I know the Lord will be with me through it all, and I will learn so much about Him which brings me great excitement.

Welcome Video

Hello, my name is Wayland Dietrich. In 2013, I hit a fork in the road of life and realized it was time for a major life change. I randomly came across the Casas por Cristo website and applied for an internship. Three months in México building homes and serving God seems like a big enough life change, right? Little did I know that internship was going to be the first step into a great journey I have been led down. I am currently a Field Manager in our Nicaragua location. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am and how every day I am learning to put my trust in God.
