Rosa Elvira Uyu Chicojay
Pastor of:

Hello. My name is Rosa Elvira Uyu Chicojay, and I am the pastor of Iglesia Evangelica Ebenezer de Mt. Belen. I have been serving in ministry for 12 years. Our church puts a large focus on teamwork. We have prayer meetings once a week in different places around the community to pray and give thanks to God. Our goals as a church are to build a baptistry as well as to build a park for the children in our community. I desire for our church to work as a team to share God’s word and to grow our church in order to share the blessings from Casas por Cristo.

Hi, I am Pete. I have been on staff at Casas por Cristo since September of 2001, with my wife Abby joining in the summer of 2005. I also served as a summer intern for three summers prior to coming on staff. After serving several years as the Juárez Field Director, I moved to Guatemala to serve as the Field Director there. I am now the Director of Central America, overseeing our Guatemala and Nicaragua locations. I am privileged to be a part of leading and helping set the vision and direction of the ministry. Abby and I have five children: Eden, Charlotte, Ezra, Samuel, and Solomon.

Hi, I'm David. I am originally from Plano, Texas and went to TCU for college where I got a degree in Sports Medicine. While I was in college, I was first exposed to church, the Word, and mission trips. I have always had a strong passion for serving others, and that led me to short-term trips in Africa as well as in Guatemala with Casas por Cristo. For some time now, I have contemplated long-term missions and ministry, and I believe this internship will help in discerning my future. I have been on five Casas builds, and I am looking forward to a great summer. I am currently working as an athletic trainer at a high school in Fort Worth and live with my dog, Honey.

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.
