About Us

Executive Director Jim Fuller is the founder and visionary of Pastoral Care, Inc.  Jim has a heart for pastors, and has devoted his life to supporting and strengthening them, and thus supporting and strengthening our churches.

Jim had more than 25 years of experience in business before he left the business world to answer God’s call to the ministry. His experience includes negotiations, networking and providing professional services for individuals and groups across America. He is an author, licensed professional counselor and ordained minister.

Jim established Pastoral Care Inc. in 2004 after discovering that there were no comprehensive ministries available that strengthened and encouraged our ministers in America. Since its founding, Pastoral Care Inc. has helped thousands of ministers from every Christian faith. Jim speaks across the country to denominations, retreats, churches and other organizations to bring awareness of the need to help our ministers across America. His goal is to strengthen the Church, encourage ministers to stay in the ministry, and recruit help from Christian caregivers to aid ministers through their skills, talents and resources.

Jim believes that a three-fold ministry approach of research, educational intervention and immediate assistance for our pastors is essential for the health and well-being of the churches in America! Too many of our ministers are leaving the ministry each year and too many churches are closing in America! Ministers need a safe and confidential place to go for help. That's why Pastoral Care Inc. was founded.

Jim is a Licensed Professional Counselor.  He has a master’s degree from Oral Roberts University in 2006 and a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Oklahoma State University in1975.

Jim and his wife Susie live in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. They have been married 48 years, have one married daughter with two grandchildren.



Associate Director.  Kevin and Kendra Akins has been on our staff for 14 years. He is now our Associate Director.  Kevin is an ordained minister and recently accepted to be the pastor in Elk City, Oklahoma.  He has traveled as a full-time evangelist for the past 10 years. His ministry traveled over much of Oklahoma, Missouri, West Texas and parts of Colorado. Kevin soon realized that many of those pastors are bi-vocational, working full-time on a secular job while fulfilling the duties of a pastor. He and his wife Kendra soon found out the struggles these pastors face everyday.

Before evangelizing, Kevin and his wife served as pastors but have always had a heart for ministers and discovered ways to bring encouragement to them. They established a retreat center called Journey's Inn, built in the heart of Oklahoma. Their goal was to strengthen our ministers and churches through their ministry. Their ministry theme was “Winning the Hearts of Men for the Heart of God in the Heart of America”.

Kevin understands the need for such a ministry as PCI. Too many ministers are leaving the ministry! They need encouragement, support, and a safe place to turn for help. Kevin and Kendra have two children, one married son living in Missouri and one daughter living in Texas.   We are excited to have Kevin and Kendra involved in our ministry!
