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.

Welcome Video

Hello friends, I am Luke. Before serving with CpC, I worked at a small construction company based in Fayetteville, GA. My first Casas trip was in the summer of 2017 with Southwest Christian Church. I enjoyed it so much that I signed up for another trip in February 2018. That trip led me to sign up for a summer internship in both 2018 and 2019. If I could go back in time ten years and ask my old self, “How would you like to go to a third world country and build homes for the poor in the name of Jesus?”, my response would have been, “You’ve definitely got the wrong guy!” However, in Christ, I became a new creature. God filled my heart with the desire to serve Him by helping others. God’s intervention completely rearranged my life’s priorities. Now, what matters most is living out His will for my life. Casas offered me a full-time staff position as a Guatemala Field Coordinator, and I gladly accepted this position with inspiration from Proverbs 16:9. I’m excited about what the future will bring and am excited to grow with this wonderful ministry!

My name is Sydney Myers. I am from Topeka, Kansas but am currently attending Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri. I am pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work with a minor in Counseling. During the summer of 2017, I went on my first international mission trip with Casas. I had just finished my first year of college and my school sent a group of us to San Raymundo, Guatemala. It was the best experience seeing God use me in ways I didn’t think were possible. I was approached and encouraged to apply as an intern for the following summer. I spent a couple months actively praying over it. It was time to step out of my comfort zone and really trust in the Lord. This will be my first year as an intern and I’m incredibly excited to see what God has in store. I’m honored to be the hands and feet of God and do His work to glorify Him.

My name is Wyatt Spencer. I am a student at the Kelley School of Business in Indianapolis and a member of Fall Creek Church. I love spending time with my family and my girlfriend, and I enjoy going on long runs. I was born and raised in a Christian home, but unfortunately I seldom lived like it, especially in high school. It was not until just before college when I had a crisis of faith and realized that I had been living for myself. I needed a savior to deliver me from my sin and I had the head knowledge to know that Jesus was and is that Savior. I accepted Christ and made that head knowledge into heart knowledge. I now seek to live out my salvation and be a witness to those around me. I have been on two very impactful trips with Casas. The second of these trips was life-changing in that I really learned what it meant to love and serve the way Christ did. As I grow in my faith I want to share my passion for serving with the teams that come to build the houses.

Hey, I’m Madi! I grew up in Edmond, OK and graduated from Oklahoma State University in May of 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies and a minor in Spanish. I am currently working on earning my Master's in Intercultural Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary. I’ve been on builds since 2011 and have served previously in two internships - one in Guatemala in 2018 and one in Juarez in 2020. Now, I am serving with Casas por Cristo as a Field Coordinator. I am so blessed to be a part of what God is doing in Mexico through the ministry of Casas por Cristo. It is profound to be a part of His missional movement in the world, and to be able to combine my two great passions (Christ and Latin America) is a dream come true.
