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.

I love supporting the ministry by delivering materials to the work site, and I also love meeting new people through this work.

Welcome Video

Hello! I’m Josh. I first worked with Casas por Cristo when I was 16 years old on a trip to Juárez. In 2006, I packed all my belongings and moved from Akron, Ohio to El Paso, Texas to work with Casas as a summer intern. In 2007, I was officially brought on staff as a Juárez Field Coordinator. I married my beautiful wife in 2014, and in 2015 we moved to the Dominican Republic where we served together as Dominican Field Coordinators. In 2017, I took on a new level of responsibility as the Dominican Field Director and now serve as the Vice President of Foreign Field Operations. My time at Casas has been quite an adventure from learning as a young 20 something in Juarez, to being married and becoming a father while serving in the Dominican Republic , to now living back in El Paso, TX with my family as I help lead our foreign locations. No matter what roles God has for us going forward with Casas por Cristo, my family and I are honored to play a part in the incredible work He is doing here.

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.

Hello! We are the Duggers and we serve as Field Manager and Field Coordinator in the Dominican Republic. Ian first encountered Casas at the International Conference on Missions. He went on to do two internships in Mexico before taking on his full-time job here in the DR. Alyssa always knew she wanted to serve God cross-culturally, and after meeting Ian at college (where they both got their degrees in missions) and marrying him in 2020, she was so excited to become a part the Casas ministry.
