She is a wife, mom, and, of course, her favorite role, Mema (translation grandma). Upon retirement from Trietsch Memorial United Methodist Church as Middle School Director, she realized retirement was just the beginning, and felt called to co-found and serve with Liberty Ministry. Serving with Liberty Ministry opened up her new passion to connect with those who are suffering and often forgotten. Leann’s passion can be seen in her deeds of collecting donations, bringing  awareness, educating the community about homelessness and empowering them to take action.

Thanking God every day for the blessings received and the opportunity to be a blessing to others.

Challis Castleberry (back row center) – Treasurer – Challis is a very proud mom of Chance and Bennett.  She has a passion for social justice that has led her to become an active spreader of God’s love to all God’s children, especially in situations and areas that aren’t always comfortable. This passion has taken her into the streets of Dallas, prisons and jails in the Dallas area and into communities in Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica. In following the direction of the Holy Spirit and spreading of God’s love to God’s people, Challis has herself experienced God’s love in such an intimate way.  Challis serves as the treasurer for Liberty Ministry and has been in non-profit accounting for almost 15 years.  In addition to social justice ministries, she is in leadership with Bible Study Fellowship and Toastmasters.

Currently still working part time as an independent contractor in the Chemical Distribution industry in sales. The challenge and the “Nudge” from God to get involved in Liberty Ministry is welcomed at this stage of my life. I look forward to being in God’s service to others in less fortunate situations. Liberty allows me to be able to use any spiritual gifts going forward. I believe Liberty gives me the opportunity to receive those “Closest to Christ” moments when serving others on an ongoing basis.
