Albertina Esparza Rivas
Pastor of: Principe de Paz

Hello. My name is Albertina Esparza Rivas, and I am the pastor of Príncipe de Paz (Prince of Peace) Church. I have been in ministry for 16 years, and my church is passionate about providing a place for families in our community to spend time and play with their children. In the past, our church building has been flooded twice to the midway point, and half of the building needs to be restored. Some of our goals include constructing a new church building, creating a music group for the youth, winning more souls for Christ, and establishing a feeding program for children and the elderly in our community.

Welcome Video

Hello. I am Andrew. I am originally from St. Louis, Missouri. I first came on trips with Casas with my campus house, and these builds led to a summer internship before I graduated with a degree in Graphic Design. I then moved to El Paso to work with Casas full time. I grew up going on trips to México with my home church, which is where I gained my passion for mission work. I serve as a Senior Designer at Casas. I love this job because I get to use what I learned in school to help the ministry grow, and I get to work with my hands as well as with people, which is also a passion of mine. I married my beautiful wife, Lacy, and moved her to El Paso in May of 2014. She is studying to become a nurse at Texas Tech here in El Paso.

Welcome Video

My name is Nick Wille. I am from St. Louis, Missouri. My first and only trip was back in 2007 when I was a freshman in high school. It was my first time out of the country for a mission trip, and it was an amazing and eye opening experience for me. I've since graduated with a degree in Industrial Technology from Ranken Technical college in St. Louis. I love to work with my hands and build things. I also volunteered a lot with my home church youth group and loved working with the students. I've completed two internships with Casas por Cristo during the summers of 2014 and 2015. They were awesome opportunities. I met great new friends and just fell in love with the ministry. I am now working in Acuña Mexico. I love getting to be the hands and feet of Christ, and I'm so excited to see what God has for me and Acuña.

Welcome Video

Hi! I'm Brendan Noerper, and I am from Millstadt, Illinois. My first mission trip was in 2015 when my youth group and I came to Acuña, México to build two homes with Casas. That trip opened my eyes to missions and the impact it has on the world. A year and a half later, I joined a team from a church in Illinois who was building a home in the Dominican Republic over the New Year. During that trip, I decided that I was ready to apply to be an intern for Casas. I had the privilege of interning for Casas in Acuña during the summer of 2017. It changed my life, and I cannot begin to describe the work God has done. Upon returning home, I decided to apply to be full time staff with Casas and spent 18 months in the El Paso/Juárez location as a field coordinator after getting hired. I moved to the Acuna department in August of 2019 to serve there as a field coordinator. There's no doubt God is using me for his glory. This journey is amazing, and God is doing great things.
