Rev. Dr. Jessica Kendall Ingram
Episcopal Supervisor, Tenth Episcopal District

Rev. Jessica Kendall Ingram is the spouse of the Rt. Rev. Gregory G.M. Ingram, Presiding Prelate 10th Episcopal District, State of Texas.

This team served the Fifteenth Episcopal District (Angola, Namibia and the Republic of South Africa). She sponsored the International Women’s Convocation 2003, Cape Town South Africa which attracted over 1,900 persons from the United States and Africa.

Featured in Ebony Magazine as one of the Fifteen Top African American Female Preachers in the United States and selected by The African American Pulpit as one of the 20 Great African American Revivalist of the Century, Rev. Jessica excels. Her third publication A Journey in the Experience of Prayer: A Guide for the Pilgrim Traveler is anticipated.

Passionate for the plight of women in South Africa, Rev. Ingram is building the Balm in Gilead Centre: The Healing Place for Women. It will respond to a very low-income area where the people lack electricity, running water or job training. The Centre will offer preventive health care, and diagnostic testing for high blood pressure/cholesterol, diabetes, HIV/Aids and spiritual development.

Prior to her current work, Rev. Jessica was the full-time Assistant Pastor of Oak Grove African Methodist Episcopal Church in Detroit, Michigan. She founded Lift Women’s Resource Center which has served over 4,000 women who are recovering from substance and physical abuse.

Rev. Jessica is a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. The couple has one young adult daughter, Jennifer.
