Les Ingram met Jane Jenkins in Wisconsin at the "Fountain House". This was the headquarters building in Waukesha, WI, for the Metropolitan Church Association (MCA). A beautiful school was operated there by the MCA. After they married, their sons attended that school.

Les and Jane Ingram dedicated their lives to preaching the gospel and starting churches and missions wherever they lived. They started mission churches in the logging camps in Michigan (Besmer, Michigan). They moved to Denver, CO and started a church in the Mexican-American area of the city. In a terrible winter (around 1949), Les Ingram organized a great relief program from Denver, CO, for people and livestock in New Mexico, which led him eventually to move his family to New Mexico and start the Pine Tree Mission, near Gallup, for the Navajo people who lived there. It is there in New Mexico that he and Jane Jenkins Ingram are buried. He was a wonderful storyteller and minister, had tremendous faith in God to take care of all their needs, loved people, was strong advocate against drinking alcohol, had very strict rules with his family, raised seven sons and many foster children with discipline and love.
