Compelled by Christ's Love Ministries(CCLM) began as an outreach ministry of Ray Castile in 2002. CCLM has partnered with missionaries, Christian workers, the local church, and Bible Schools to spread the gospel by ministering to the needy in Mexico.

The purpose of CCLM is not only to minister overseas, but also to influence both young as well as established and proven ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, primarily in Mexico, encouraging them and enabling them to be more effective in their calling and ministry, modeling Christ's love by touching unreached, hurting and disenfranchised people in Jesus' name.

Since founding the ministry, CCLM has sponsored two mission trips to San Luis Potosí, Mexico ministering with the help of the local church an Bible school.

Because of these trips, people living in a trash dump receive physical and spiritual nourishment on a weekly basis. Also, a group of believers has begun meeting together and is praying that we will help build a church in their neighborhood.

In 1973 they sold their home and possessions and moved their family to Dallas for Ray to attend Bible school at Christ For the Nations Institute. He graduated in 1975. They served in pastoral ministry for 27 years in the Dallas area, before launching Compelled by Christ’s Love Ministries, a missionary ministry to Mexico.
