Gineen Cali

Gineen graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a BA in Arts and Sciences. After college, she worked in the airline industry where she developed a passion for seeking out what is unique in people and places—in how others live and see the world. She has a gift of empathy, and a desire to help others find their strengths and connect with a supportive community: believing we are at our best when the weak and strong work together.

She holds a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Trinity International University, and has worked in nonprofit and private practice providing counseling, coaching, and assessment at various locations in the city: in the Loop, Rogers Park, and as part of Lawndale Christian Center.

Gineen and her husband Joe live on the Northside of Chicago, and partner with 20th District CAPS Faith-based Subcommittee and with the Chicago Police Department’s Custom Notifications initiative, and are a part of Chicagoland United in Prayer.

Dr. John Fuder

Dr. John “Doc” Fuder serves as the Director of Faith-Community Mobilization for Together Chicago and leads the Chicagoland United in Prayer movement.

Doc is the Founder and Director of Heart for the City and has a passion for equipping the broader body of Christ to engage more deeply in contextualizing the Gospel in their local communities. His passion to teach and train others to engage the city comes from his many years of experience in ministry in California and training students in Urban Studies at Moody Theological Seminary. Doc is the author of A Heart for the City, A Heart for the Community, Neighborhood Mapping, and the Chicago Neighborhood Prayer Guide.

Doc holds a B.R.E. from Prairie Bible College, an M.A. in Religion from Pepperdine University and a Ph.D. from Biola University. He and his wife, Nellie, have three children and two granddaughters and live on Chicago’s north side and are part of Park Community Church.

Kimberly Harshman

Kimberly Harshman did her Pastoral studies at Global University with Assemblies of God. After nearly 20 years in youth and children’s ministry, she felt a call on her life to make prayer and intercession her full time occupation. She participated in an internship with International House of Prayer Kansas City (IHOPKC), where she later went on staff as a full time intercessor in the 24/7 Global Prayer Room. As an overflow of that prayer, she worked as the Prayer Coordinator for the anti-human trafficking organization, Exodus Cry. She coordinated global prayer watches for the ending of human trafficking and managed the Human Trafficking Museum. She was also on the team that created the award winning film, Nefarious: Merchant of Souls, a Christ centered documentary, raising awareness on the global sex trade.

Kimberly has traveled abroad to minister to at risk women and to help launch Love Your City Initiatives and Houses of Prayer in India. After traveling to India, she was on layover in Chicago, when she heard the Lord invite her to come and build the House of Prayer in this city. She now works with Chicagoland United in Prayer to mobilize prayer and action events in Chicago. She has joined the Together Chicago team as our Prayer Team Coordinator. She brings with her a passion to see prayer and justice to walk hand in hand for the transformation of our city.
