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!

Annie Pruitt
Hey y’all! I am Annie, and I’m from Holts Summit, Missouri. I’ve known from since I was young that the Lord gave me a heart to serve. I love to see what can happen when people submit their paths to Christ and what He does. I started going on mission trips with Casas in 2019 and I got to do that with my brother and sister. Every trip God did something different. I’ve always loved working but I’m excited to get this opportunity to work hard for the Lord. I’m excited to share the love our Heavenly Father gives us every day. I’m just one of the many hands and feet of Jesus. Beyond exited to watch Him change lives!
Luke Ritchie
Hello! My name is Luke, and I’m an aviation, travel, and Jesus enthusiast. For all my life I lived in the small town of Tower Hill, Illinois, but that didn’t stop me from seeing the world, starting with mission trips with my church. I realized that there is so much more to traveling than being in a different place for the first time. It is a way to spread God’s love throughout the world and make a difference for Him. After learning about Casas por Cristo at church camp, I went on a few trips with friends and family, and I was hooked. I am super excited to spend my summer serving the best I can!
