Meet the Mission Agape Team

Stacy Baccus

Founder/Executive Director

A Little About Me

Hello! My name is Stacy Baccus, and I am blessed to serve as the Founder and Executive Director of Mission Agape. My family is one of my greatest blessings. I am the proud mother of one son, Matthew.  I am also a proud grandmother of three wonderful grandchildren, Beckett, Everly, and Emeline, through my oldest stepson, and they bring so much joy to my life. One of my passions is to travel.  My furbaby, Cooper, hit the road several times a year.

In 2012, my late husband Ric and I founded Mission Agape. It was our dream to be able to feed children and familiels in need.  After losing Ric in 2021, continuing the mission we began together became even more meaningful to me. Mission Agape is not simply my job—it is deeply personal. It is part of my story, my heart, and the calling God has placed on my life.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.” – Matthew 25:35

My Passion for Mission Agape

My heart has always been for people—especially children, families, seniors, and those who may feel forgotten or overwhelmed by their circumstances. We want to help ease that burden while reminding every person we serve that they are seen, they are valued, and they are loved.

Our mission is simple: Love People. Meet Needs. Build Relationships.

How I Serve at Mission Agape

As Executive Director, I have the privilege of leading an incredible team of staff and hundreds of volunteers who make our mission possible. My role includes overseeing our programs and operations, building relationships with donors, foundations, churches, businesses, schools, and community partners, and helping ensure Mission Agape remains a faithful steward of every resource entrusted to us.

But one of my greatest joys is simply connecting people with opportunities to love and serve others.

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace.” – 1 Peter 4:10

Love Is the Foundation

Over the years, Mission Agape has grown tremendously, but I never want us to lose sight of why we started. It wasn’t about numbers. It wasn’t about building an organization. It was about seeing a need and choosing to love someone enough to do something about it.

That remains our heart today. Let’s Make a Difference Together

I truly believe Mission Agape is a beautiful example of what can happen when a community comes together to care for its neighbors. We could never do this alone.

To every volunteer, donor, church, business, foundation, school, and community partner who has walked alongside us—thank you. You are part of the Mission Agape story.

“Do not withhold good from those in need, when it is in your power to act.” Proverbs 3:27 💛

Alex Snellen

Associate Director

A Little About Me

Hello! My name is Alex Snellen, and I am blessed to serve as the Associate Director at Mission Agape. I joined the Mission Agape staff in December 2025 after previously serving on the organization’s Board of Directors, which gave me the opportunity to become familiar with the heart and mission of the organization before stepping into my current role.

Before joining Mission Agape, I spent more than a decade in the banking industry, serving in various roles from 2014 to 2025 and ultimately finishing my banking career in Human Resources. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Texas Permian Basin and hope to continue pursuing my master’s degree in the future. Mental health is something I am deeply passionate about, and I want to continue growing my knowledge so that I can better understand, encourage, and help others on a deeper level.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my fiancé, Mark, and my three children, Kori, Saige, and Maverick. I am also a sports fan, especially when it comes to basketball.

“The time will come,” says the Lord, “when the grain and grapes will grow faster than they can be harvested.”– Amos 9:13

My Heart for Mission Agape
Mission Agape is especially meaningful to me because I know personally what it feels like to need help and how difficult it can be to ask for it. That experience has shaped the way I view the people we serve and reminds me that behind every request for assistance is a person or family with their own story.

I want those who walk through our doors to feel welcomed, respected, and treated with compassion and dignity. It is a blessing to now be on the other side of that experience and have the opportunity to be the hands and feet of God, helping connect His resources with people who need them.

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ.” – Galatians 6:2

How I Serve at Mission Agape
As Associate Director, I help support many of the day-to-day operations of Mission Agape, including human resources, policies and procedures, staff support, and other organizational needs. One of the things I enjoy about my role is that no two days are exactly the same, and I have the opportunity to help wherever I am needed.

I am also continuing to learn and grow in nonprofit leadership and what it means to serve as an Executive Director. I am grateful for the opportunity to gain that experience while working alongside a team that shares a heart for serving our community.

“Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31

Let’s Connect
Whether you have a question about Mission Agape, would like to learn more about what we do, or simply want to connect, please feel free to reach out. If I don’t have the answer, I will do my best to help you find the person who does.

I am grateful to be part of an organization that allows me to serve others, continue growing, and live out my faith through the work we do each day.

Damayanty “Damy” Gonsales

Volunteer and Donations Coordinator

A Little About Me

I was born and raised in Mexico, in a town just across the border from Brownsville, Texas. In 2005, at the age of 13, I moved to the United States and began a new chapter of my life. I completed my education here in Midland, Texas, a community that has become home to me and my family.

Having experienced the transition of coming to a new country at a young age has helped shape who I am today. It taught me the importance of perseverance, hard work, adaptability, and never being afraid to learn something new. I am proud of where I come from and equally grateful for the life, opportunities, and relationships I have built here in West Texas.

I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, which is something I truly value. Being bilingual allows me to communicate with and connect with more of the families, volunteers, donors, and community members we serve. I especially appreciate being able to help Spanish-speaking families feel welcomed, understood, and comfortable when connecting with

First and foremost, I am a proud mother of three wonderful children—a teenage daughter, a son (7), and a daughter (6) who are the center of my world. Each of them brings a unique personality and joy to our family, and I am grateful for the privilege of being their mom.
I am also married to my high school sweetheart. We have been together since 2008 and married since 2012, building our life together with love, commitment, and shared purpose.

Outside of my family and professional responsibilities, I am an entrepreneur at heart with a strong work ethic, a passion for fitness, and a love for continuous learning. I enjoy taking on new challenges, growing through experience, and finding creative solutions to problems. I consider myself a natural problem-solver, and I am always willing to put in the effort needed to move things forward.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” – Colossians 3:23

My Passion for Serving Others

Above all, I have a genuine passion for helping people, especially children and families in need. That passion is what inspires me every day in my work with Mission Agape.

As the Volunteer and Donations Coordinator, I serve as a primary point of contact for individuals, families, businesses, churches, organizations, and community members who want to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

“Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” – 1 John 3:18

How I Serve at Mission Agape

Volunteer & Community Engagement

If you, your family, church, business, or organization are interested in volunteering with Mission Agape, I would be happy to help connect you with opportunities to serve and make an impact in our community.

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace.” – 1 Peter 4:10

Donations & Special Events

I work closely with community partners, businesses, organizations, and individuals to help secure donations and resources that support Mission Agape’s programs and special events throughout the year.

“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” – Acts 20:35

Weekend Food Bag Program

I also help coordinate our Weekend Food Bag Program, which provides food assistance to local students throughout Midland—from elementary school through junior high and high school.

We understand how difficult it can be for parents who work hard to provide for their families, often working long hours while facing financial challenges. Our Weekend Food Bag Program helps ensure that students have access to nutritious food at home during the weekends, when school meals are not available.

Knowing that our work can help ease a burden for parents while making sure children in our community have food to eat is one of the most meaningful parts of what I do.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.” – Matthew 25:35

Let’s Make a Difference Together

Whether you are interested in volunteering, making a donation, partnering with Mission Agape, supporting one of our programs, or simply learning more about how we serve local families, I would love to connect with you.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of children, families, and individuals in our community.

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” – Hebrews 10:24

Ana Diaz

Logistics Coordinator

A Little About Me

My journey with Mission Agape began as a student volunteer, where my heart for serving others quickly became evident. My passion and dedication led me to become a Program Assistant, and now, after a year with the team, I proudly serve as our Logistics Coordinator. In this role, I manages orders, communicates with vendors, and helps keep our warehouse organized and running smoothly.

My journey is a beautiful reminder of Colossians 3:23: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” I  try to bring the spirit of service and dedication into everything I do at Mission Agape.

Born and raised in Chihuahua, Mexico, I moved to Midland when I was 12 years old. Being bilingual has allowed me to connect with and serve people from different backgrounds, something I truly value.

My desire to help others reflects Galatians 5:13: “Serve one another humbly in love.”

Outside of work, I am happily married to her husband, Diego, and I treasure spending quality time with my family. Whether I am serving at Mission Agape, helping someone in need, or spending time with those I love, I strive to make a positive difference wherever God places me.

One verse that beautifully represents my heart for service is 1 Peter 4:10: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others.” ❤️

I am grateful for the opportunity to continue growing, serving, and being part of Mission Agape’s mission of sharing God’s love through service to others.

Andrea Pulido

Administrative / Program Assistant

A Little About Me

Hello! My name is Andrea Pulido, and I am blessed to serve as the Administrative / Program Assistant at Mission Agape.

I am originally from Venezuela and am bilingual in English and Spanish. I’m also a proud mom of two beautiful daughters, who are a very important part of my life and two of my greatest motivations.

Faith is at the center of who I am. My desire is to follow the path God has for my life and use the opportunities He gives me to serve His people with love, kindness, and compassion. I truly enjoy helping others and believe that even the smallest act of kindness can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life.

“Serve one another humbly in love.” – Galatians 5:13

My Passion for Serving Others
One of the things I love most about being part of Mission Agape is having the opportunity to help people during times when they may need a little extra encouragement and support.
Whether I am helping a family, assisting with one of our programs, working behind the scenes, or simply taking the time to listen, I want each person I encounter to feel seen, heard, respected, and cared for.

I believe serving others isn’t just about what we give—it’s also about how we make people feel while we are serving them.

“Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.” – Romans 12:10

How I Serve at Mission Agape
As the Administrative / Program Assistant, I help support the day-to-day operations of Mission Agape and assist with several areas of our ministry.

A special part of my role is helping with our Food Pantry, where we serve children, adults, seniors, and families who have been referred to Mission Agape for food assistance.

Serving With Dignity & Compassion
Our Food Pantry is about so much more than providing groceries. We want every person who walks through our doors to feel welcomed, respected, and valued. Our client-choice pantry gives families the opportunity to select the foods that best meet their individual needs, creating an experience that feels more like grocery shopping.

I love that this approach allows us to meet a physical need while also preserving dignity and building relationships. Sometimes people simply need to know that someone cares—and I am grateful to have the opportunity to be that person.

“Let all that you do be done in love.” – 1 Corinthians 16:14

Grateful to Serve
I am incredibly grateful to be part of the Mission Agape family and to serve our community alongside a team of people who genuinely care about others.

I look forward to continuing to grow, learn, serve, and be a blessing to others through the work we do each day.

My prayer is that wherever God leads me, I will always have a willing heart to serve.
