OUR INTERNS & RESIDENTS

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!

Hello! My name is Gabriella, and I’m from New Orleans, Louisiana – a city I absolutely love. I decided to become an intern because when I was 13 years old, I had a dream about doing mission work in another country. Now, at 25, I’m so excited to finally live out that dream by serving others through building homes and connecting families with local churches.

I currently work as a real estate agent and love helping people find homes they love in the States. That’s why I’m especially excited to help build homes for families in other countries that they will love! Also to share with them about their forever home that’s found in Jesus Christ.

When I’m not working, I spend my time mentoring teenagers, and exploring new coffee shops with friends. I’m so grateful and thrilled to be part of Casas por Cristo and can’t wait to see all that God has in store during this season!

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!

Hello, my name’s Taylor and I am from Central Oregon. I am excited to intern at Casas for the opportunity to learn from my brothers and sisters in Christ who are there and be a part of what they are doing to serve the body of Christ and reach out to those who don’t yet know him. I know that God has good plans and I am glad to be included.

Hola amigos! My name is Jordan, and I’m passionate about Jesus, serving others, and embracing adventure wherever it leads. I was born and raised in Menomonie, Wisconsin, and went to college in Greenville, North Carolina, where I earned an associate degree in Business Administration. It’s beautiful to look back and see what God was doing in each chapter of my life. Growing up, I went on builds with Casas and joined my parents in local mission work in Juárez. Those experiences left a lasting impact on how I see God, people, and the world—and they’ve played a major role in shaping my testimony. Since I was nine years old, I’ve felt called to missions and developed a deep love for Latin culture. Now, I’m incredibly blessed for the opportunity to serve as a Creative Resident with Casas.

Hey y’all! I am Annie, and I’m from Holts Summit, Missouri. Since I was young, I’ve known 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!

Hi, my name’s Gavin and I’m from Central Illinois. I recently graduated from a community college, studying art with an emphasis in graphic design. I wanted to become an intern with Casas Por Cristo to gain experience working with a non-profit that makes a physical and spiritual impact. In my free time, I enjoy basketball, skating, and being with my family and friends. I believe this internship will help strengthen my faith, and I hope to make a positive change in others’ lives as well. I’m grateful for this opportunity and looking forward to meeting new people and having new experiences.

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.
