Community Service

Power Castle Ministries, Power Castle Ministries is a 501 C 3 nonprofit organization that is dedicated to feeding and sharing the word of God with students in low income areas in Beaumont, Texas. My Dad and Mom established this ministry over twenty years ago and it has been growing ever since. My Dad is a full time minister and is constantly serving others through this ministry. I have grown up serving all my life. I know what it feels, looks, and takes to serve others. Ever since I was little, I can remember going to these programs and seeing the effect serving has on others. The best example I recall is when one day in a fast food line, a young man recognized my Dad. He told my dad that he used to go to his ministry programs. He was able to tell him how he got accepted into college and got a job. That might seem like a little thing, but the fact that my dad had an influence on that kid is amazing to me. No matter where I am in life, I will never stop serving others., Beaumont, Texas, In the past 11 years, my dad has built a day camp. I serve on day camp days by playing basketball and other games with kids, while also helping to organize the day., Bikes and Bibles, I have always gone to this event with my family to help volunteer with the Reaud Foundation. Bikes and Bibles help families have a better Christmas, over 6,000 people receive clothes, toys, and of course bikes.
