Pam Ingram - Program Founder

Pamela Ingram was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri and lived in an inner-city public housing development for many of those years. She graduated from the University of Missouri School of Journalism in 1976 and shortly afterwards married Ellis Ingram, a pathologist at the University Hospital.

Pam became a Christian in 1976 after a long season of church hopping, desperately seeking an intimate relationship with the Lord. She learned from a friend who had just had a life-changing encounter with God that all you had to do was "watch Christian television" to learn about Jesus, which she did faithfully for two weeks.

In those weeks, the reality of what God was offering her through Jesus Christ penetrated her heart. All the love, all the mercy, all the forgiveness and acceptance she had sought throughout her life could now be hers.

Pam called in to pray with the program's prayer counselors to invite Jesus to take over her life. Her husband followed suit and was born again three months later. Pam and Ellis have been members of Christian Fellowship Church in Columbia, Missouri for more than 25 years; they have four children and three grandchildren.

Since beginning their journey with the Lord, Pam and Ellis have been involved in various evangelistic outreaches, including "FreePrayer," a door-to-door prayer outreach, which she co-founded with Jane Williams in 1995. And, of course, she is also the founder and director of Granny's House which is located in the Douglass Park public housing development in Columbia, Missouri.
