Marketing Director and Honduras Administrator
Grace Reyes

Grace is 24 years old and a proud Honduran. She has been involved with CCC for the past 10 years working with the Honduras Ministry. She has had the opportunity of being in every role, starting as a translator all the way to the camp director. She knows this ministry very well and that's one of the reasons why she loves this role. Being able to look back and know how much CCC has grown in Honduras specifically and how many people we've served, makes her understand how faith, love, and hope have no barriers. Grace, along with her husband Rigo, have witnessed how God is working in and throughout their country and how relationships are built and continue to be cherished despite time. She is so proud of being part of this family and looks forward to making it grow even more!

Community Engagement coordinator
Juan Rodriguez

'Juanfer' was born and raised in Tegucigalpa - the capital of Honduras. He moved to our beloved San Pedro Sula in 2016 and had his first encounter with our ministry through our dear friend Grace Nolasco. He started his journey with us as a Support Staff back in summer of 2022, and then became one of our Camp Directors for the Home Repair program in 2023. Juanfer's love for what CCC represents and does for communities in NC and Honduras has only grown stronger as years pass, and in his experience, it has strengthened his love for people and solidified his call to impact the communities he's a part of. He is immensely grateful to have joined our family, and is excited to be a part of what God holds for Carolina Cross Connection in the future - something he, in his own words: "wouldn't miss for the world."
