Miguel Ignacio Cruz
Pastor of: Iglesia Cristiana Cuerpo de Cristo

My name is Miguel Ignacio Cruz, and I have been a pastor for 30 years. I have 5 children. I have been a pastor in the town, Navarrete, since 2015. For years, God was calling me to ministry, but I rejected Him again and again. In 1988, I finally answered God's calling, and have been able to lead four individuals to become pastors. I have also received the blessing of starting and being a part of six different churches.

Welcome Video

Hi, My name is Weston Lott. I grew up in Berea, Ohio, and I attended The University of Akron in Akron, Ohio, where I lived for ten years. After college, I worked in the corporate world as a graphic designer for eight years. I first came to know the ministry of Casas por Cristo when I went on a mission trip in December, 2014 to Ciudad Juárez, México. After taking part in my second mission trip with Casas in the Dominican Republic, I was hooked on serving the Lord in this way. I applied and was accepted as a summer intern for Casas in the DR shortly after. That summer changed my life! I am extremely excited to take the gifts that God has given me in design and construction to serve His kingdom with Casas por Cristo.

Saturnina Cabrera Samuel
Pastor of: Iglesia Juan 14:6

I am Saturnina Cabrera. I started my journey as a pastor in 2009, in the small community of Barrero. I have a beautiful family of seven! At the time God called me to Barrero, I was a leader at a church in a different town and did not want to leave. However, I understood that there was a great need in this community. There was a time my husband had to leave home and look for a job, and I remained faithful and stayed in Barrero.

Omelio Jose Marte Rodriguez
Pastor of: Más Que Creyentes

My name is Omelio Marte, but my friends and family call me Michell. My wife, two children, and I live in Navarrete, and I have been a pastor in the neighboring community, Ponton, since 2002. Before my journey with ministry began, I felt God calling me in a special way. His calling was not very clear at the time, but a voice inside of me was leading me to Navarrete. I began serving as a church leader and led a small service in my sister's home. I asked if anyone wanted to accept Christ, and one person raised their hand; I received a feeling of responsibility. That simple service in my sister's home has led me to the church we have today.

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

Hey. I'm Mary Cadarette, and I am from northern Michigan. I was introduced to Casas through my campus ministry, His House Christian Fellowship, during my freshman year of college. After doing my first trip, I did two summer internships with the ministry in our Juárez location. Throughout both of my internships, I fell in love with this ministry, the city of Juárez, and the families we get to serve. During my second internship, it became obvious to me that there was a need in the ministry for more full-time employees. I put in my application, and ever since I did, God has been opening doors and continues to make it possible for me to be here. I intend to serve here as long as God keeps the door open. I am thankful and honored to be a part of what God is doing through Casas, and I intend to make the most of this incredible opportunity.
