Co-founders are Pastor Wendell and Rev. Denette McCombs of La Harpe. The organization specializes in serving county jails and prisons through ministry, training and licensing people. It currently serves a tri-state area of Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri with 23 licensed ministers. Locally, they are serving 11 facilities: Illinois State Prisons, State Prison Work Camps, Youth Detention Centers, Halfway Houses and County Jails. All members of the organization are volunteers and receive no income from the organization.
