Luke Campbell
Hey everyone! My name is Luke Campbell. I am from Aurora, Illinois. I’ve been blessed enough to grow up in a Christ centered home with my two loving parents, along with my two younger siblings. I came on my first Casas trip after my senior year of high school in the summer of 2023. I’ve always felt called to missions. I just wasn’t totally sure how He was going to use me. After my trip, I felt called by the Lord to apply for the summer internship with Casas. Throughout my summer here, I saw the Lord move in amazing ways and He placed it on my heart to apply for the residency program at Casas. Praise the Lord, He’s given me this opportunity to serve Him in such an amazing way! I can’t wait to see how the Lord is going to continue to move in ways only He knows how!!

Paul Cordes
Hi! I’m Paul! I am from a small, Northeast Indiana town called Wabash. I love the Lord and being able to share His love with others! I just completed my summer internship in Mexico and while I am still navigating the calling for my life and all the nerves the “unknown” brings, I am so excited to continue to be a part of this ministry as a resident this year! The Lord has been doing some awesome work here, and while I don’t deserve it, I am grateful to be invited into His kingdom work with Casas! He is so good!

Kaylin Fogg
Hello! My name is Kaylin Fogg and I am from Massachusetts but am currently going to school in Virginia at Liberty University. After working with Casas last year, I really felt God’s call to come back and work for longer and absolutely loved the experience of being immersed in another culture and country. I love to sing and make music, especially when it comes to worship. I love art and I love being with and meeting new people. I live my life on mission for God to the best of my ability and am looking forward to this new season of serving him in a new way overseas. I am so excited to see how God moves throughout the summer and cannot wait to serve and grow with other believers who have the same heart for Jesus and for making an impact on his Kingdom!

Ashlyn Gillespie
Hello! I am Ashlyn, and I love serving the Lord, creating art, and traveling. I am from St. Louis, Missouri. I am passionate about loving and helping people, especially through telling their story. I am so excited about doing this for Casas, a ministry I hold dear, and I can’t wait to see how I can show the love of Jesus to others because of this internship!

Calvin Hilbelink
Hello, my name is Calvin Hilbelink. I am from Zeeland, Michigan. I am excited to be an intern at Casas because I believe in their work, having had the opportunity to join a mission trip to Guatemala with my church. I love how Casas combines sharing the Gospel with ministering to the needs of local families. I am excited to join this team, using my ability to speak Spanish and love of building.

Bryce Hurd
Hello! My name is Bryce Hurd. I was born and raised in Eau Claire, WI. I went on a mission trip through Casas, and felt called to continue to serve through this organization. I am currently interning with Casas, and I am incredibly grateful to be apart of the mission of Casas Por Cristo!

Katie Jansson
Hey y’all! My name is Katie, and I am from Farmington, Arkansas. I just graduated from the University of Arkansas with degrees in horticulture and soil science, and I am so excited to be serving as a resident with Casas! I first built with Casas por Cristo in 2017 and have since done two more builds and an internship in the summer of 2021. I love being able to tangibly love and serve the families that we build for and see God’s faithfulness displayed time and time again. I can’t wait to see what God is going to do next!

Jessiah Keller
Hey guys! I’m Jessiah Keller. I’m from Danville, Virginia. I was first introduced to Casas por Cristo back in 2021 when I was still in high school. During that trip, I was able to be a part of a build for one of the local pastors in the Dominican Republic. After I graduated high school I was lost and looking for a path. That’s when I found an invitation to be an intern in my old journal from high school. After that, I did an internship for Casas in 2023 in the DR and now I’m following God back down there again as a resident!

Jordan Lee
Hola amigos! My name is Jordan, and I’m from Menomonie, Wisconsin. I love Jesus, serving others, and a good adventure. Growing up, my family went on builds with Casas through our church. Those trips truly left an impact on how I viewed life, others, and God; and have played a large role in my testimony. Since I was 9 years old I’ve felt a call to missions and have had a heart for latin culture. Now, 11 years later, I get the privilege to serve as a Creative Resident with Casas. Recently, I attended school in Greenville, North Carolina, and received my Associate’s degree in Business Administration. Right after walking the stage in May, I will hit the road for El Paso to start this new exciting chapter of serving the Lord with Casas. Each day is a new adventure we can take with Jesus to serve the Creator of this beautiful world and the people in it!

Adriona Pride
Hi, my name is Adriona! I love Jesus, family, Dr. Pepper, and Notre Dame Football. I am from a small town, North Liberty, Indiana. My church and my dad have been involved with CASAS for 6 years and counting. I went on my first trip with them 5 years ago and felt a calling to serve with them as much as possible. Over the past 5 years I have been on many trips, to Mexico, Guatemala, and El Paso to help them! I am overly ecstatic to be able to join the team and will bring my best in everything I am asked to do! I am very grateful for all those who have supported me throughout this journey and cannot wait to see what is to come!!

Sidney Robertson
Shalom! My name is Sidney Robertson and I was born and raised right outside of Nashville, TN. I am a student at Belmont University studying architecture but truly feel called to pursue mission work on the side after attending my first build. I first attended on spring break through Belmont and it changed my entire outlook of missions! It was my first time out of the country as well as my first mission trip. It was life-changing being able to not only see the Lord work through my group, but feel Him giving me strength to act as His Hands and Feet and build a house for a family in need. By the end of the week, I knew God had a reason for me to go on the mission trip and immediately looked into an internship with Casas. Needless to say, I cannot wait to see how God will work through me this summer!!!

Ashley Van Ravenswaay
Hey Friends, I’m Ashley! I am from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. My love for service and ministry started through different mission trips when I was young. In high school, I went on my first trip with Casas, and I absolutely loved getting to share Jesus’ love with the family we built for! Since that first trip, I’ve had the opportunity to join many other builds, and in 2024, I participated in two back-to-back internships. One internship in the office in El Paso and the other for the summer building in Guatemala. I loved my experience in Guatemala, and now I am so grateful to have the opportunity to go back as a resident! I am excited for more time with Casas to be able to share His love and light with more people.

Gabe Whichel
Hey, I’m Gabe Whichel. I’m from North Carolina born and raised. I grew up in a Jesus loving family which is such a blessing. 2 loving supportive parents and 2 older brothers and a younger sister. I mainly connect with the Lord when outside hunting or fishing in His creation. I went on my first Casas build in 2016 with my dad and brothers. Since then, I have been on 3 more builds. I am going to school for construction management and have questioned how the Lord may use that for His kingdom until the Casas internship was mentioned to me after one of the builds I attended, and I knew it was the perfect fit. I am super excited for this summer and stepping into a new way of serving!
