We will soon add Shelby County Jail and Panola County Jail. We are privileged to serve these precious ladies. We want to further their relationship with God and point them on a path of discipleship. We do not drill into them the mistake that landed them in jail we encourage the ladies that they have a future in Christ.




From Our Founder, Mary DeBusk.
Write The Vision
I am thrilled to share the inspiring journey and vision of One Accord Prayer Association, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to learn more about our mission. Your support means the world to us, and together, we can make a significant impact. We ask our donors to allow us to serve our community in our own authentic way. We base who we help on need and do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, familial status, or disability.
Who We Are:
One Accord Prayer Association began as a small group of friends gathering in prayer for our church and community. Since then, it has blossomed into a dynamic ministry and charitable organization with a commitment rooted in reaching out to those in need with compassion and practical support.
General Fund
Our General Fund is the backbone of our organization, enabling us to address a variety of needs, including administrative expenses, legal fees, website maintenance, printer, paper, and ink. These essential components keep our nonprofit running smoothly and allow us to serve our community effectively.
Jail Ministry
We are honored to serve inmates in our local facility and are in the process of expanding to two more. In line with Matthew 25:36*. Our goal is to grow our team, minister to female inmates, and grow our volunteers in a purpose-driven lifestyle. We offer inmates and volunteers resources such as Andrew Murray books and we also love giving devotionals to our inmates and volunteers. We emphasize a daily pursuit in a relationship with God and that your past doesn’t determine your future.
James 1:27 Fund
Inspired by the call to care for widows and orphans, the James 1:27** Fund addresses the needs of underprivileged children and the elderly. We have current initiatives that will require ongoing support. This fund is very important because several families in our community do not make a “living wage”.
James 1:27 Initiatives:
1) Shoe Drive 2026: One Accord Prayer Association will be gathering shoes for underprivileged children. A brand new well-fitting pair of shoes is essential to a child being able to run, be active, and play sports. Our kids learn to be active at an early age and these skills will help them live healthier lives. A new pair of shoes also builds confidence in the children we serve.
2) Diaper Dash 2026: One of our signature initiatives is the Diaper Dash program. We gather diapers, wipes, and onesies for babies and toddlers. A second piece is the purchase of Walmart gift cards to young mothers facing hardship. With these cards, mothers can be empowered purchase baby food, toys, or any essential items for their baby and toddler. For those with transportation challenges, Walmart’s delivery ensures these vital needs are met, supporting mothers and caring for their little ones.
3) Take a Kid Shopping 2026: This initiative is about taking a preteen or teen who has never gotten to go shopping and pick out their own clothes and shoes. We give a budget of $600 and go to an age-appropriate retailer. We allow the child to choose their own clothing and shoes as long as it is age-appropriate. Then we allow the child to choose where we eat. Clothing helps a child fit in with their social group and choosing their own clothing will build confidence and decision-making skills. I am very excited about this program because of the self-esteem-building component.
Thank you for considering our mission and for your ongoing prayers and support. We’re excited to see how we can make a difference together, and we hope to connect with you soon.
Sincerely,
Mary DeBusk

Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
**James 1:27(KJV):
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
***John 14:12-14(KJV):
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
