Greetings! I'm Justin Kirklin. I have a beautiful wife named Julie, and three kids, Eli, Emily, and Ethan. Julie and I met in our home state of Michigan and attended Ferris State University together. We were both introduced to Casas por Cristo through our campus ministry and fell in love with Casas. We married in 2008. In 2009, we accepted a position with the ministry and moved to El Paso to start our wonderful ministry together with the rest of the Casas staff. After spending 2014 to 2018 launching our Dominican Republic location, we are now back in El Paso, TX serving in our main office. We look forward to our continued service and ministry to our teams and the families we minister to!

Hello! My name is Nan Hammel, and I’m originally from northern Indiana. I graduated from Purdue University and worked in soil and water conservation and as a high school track and cross country coach for eight years. I first got involved with Casas por Cristo in 2015 taking trips to Guatemala with Bachelor Creek, my hometown church of Wabash, Indiana. In 2019, I joined a Team Casas build in Guatemala and God spoke to my heart. He was not only using this ministry to spread the gospel to people through the local church with the blessing of a home but also using it to build and equip his people, the church, to seek His kingdom wherever they live and serve (Ephesians 2:19-22). Over the summer of 2019, I worked as an intern in Juárez. I have been so blessed by all the people I have come to know through this ministry - pastors, families, groups, staff, and fellow interns. They are truly family to me. I felt God’s call to apply as a Field Coordinator with Casas por Cristo and am excited to serve as a part of the team in the Dominican Republic!
