Pray for the family because recently moved to Acuña from another town. They previously had their own business, but they had some financial problems because of some employees who took their money. They still owe a lot and are having to start over now without their kids. Their kids are currently living with family in the town where they moved from.

Hi, my name is Derek Pruitt. I am from a small town in Missouri called Holts Summit. I grew up with six siblings and was homeschooled until my sophomore year of high school. I am a sophomore at a small community college. I am just getting my Gen Eds there, and then I plan on transferring to a four-year college to major in Criminal Justice with a minor in Bible. I have yet to decide where I am going to transfer. I plan on letting God lead me to where he wants me when the time comes. When I was in high school, I went on my first Casas trip. I loved it right off the bat, but I had never considered doing the internship. I have been on an additional six trips since then. Last summer, I got a chance to talk with some of the interns about their experience. From there, I decided I wanted to try it. I am excited for this summer and what God has in store.

Hello. My name is Jennifer Dobyns, but everyone calls me Jen. I’ve had the opportunity to go with my church to Juarez 10 times to build houses for families, and I’m excited to see what God will do this summer with our intern group. Returning every year to Juarez has always caused my faith to grow, and I feel passionate about communicating with the communities we’ll be serving. I’ve studied at the University of Colorado - Colorado Springs for a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science with a minor in Game Development, and I’ve also created games using the Unity 3D Engine.

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.
