Rick came to Faith Farm in 2014. He was a homeland missionary and church planter. Rick is experienced in entrepreneurial business management and all aspects of church leadership. With a diverse background of military, business and ministry, his no nonsense approach challenges men … not just to be men, but men of God. He is a gifted speaker, counselor and Pastor who has a heart for the hurting and a willingness to do something about it. He served as Campus Pastor and Campus Director, and is currently serving as Faith Farm’s Chief Executive Officer.
Frank Grisanty began his association with Faith Farm in 1986 as a student and it is not too dramatic to say that God, a praying wife, and the Faith Farm Ministries are the reasons Frank is alive today. So profound was the Farm’s influence in his life, that he brought his wife and two year old son into the ministry in 1988 and stayed for 22 years. Working his way up from Yard Crew Supervisor to Administrative positions, Frank and his family are sold out to the God ordained mission of Faith Farm. Called out by God in 2008, Frank gained invaluable experience in various positions at Gulfstream Goodwill and other service organizations, and he is thankful to be able to bring this experience, once again, to the ministry.
Raj arrived at Faith Farm in 1989 as a student and subsequently graduated from the program. After serving and giving back to the ministry, he left in 1994 to become the Director of Abiding Hearts, a Christian support program, only to return in 2010, when answering God’s call. He became the Supervisor for Outside Sales in the Boynton Beach store and later became the Supervisor for the IT/Electronics Department. Raj instructs and mentors our Extended Program Students in the furthering of their Spiritual growth. Raj is currently serving as the Director of our Boynton Beach campus.
Charlie graduated from the Fort Lauderdale program in 2015. After graduation, he accepted a position in the behavioral health field as a Case Manager. Charlie answered God’s call to full‐time ministry when he returned to Faith Farm Fort Lauderdale in 2017 as Administrative Staff over our New Furniture Department. He has since transferred to our Boynton Beach campus, where he now serves as our Assistant Director.
Pastor Luis Morales has a unique background combining a successful 30+ year career in corporate business and, for the past eight years, full-time ministry. "I heard and answered God’s call, transitioning from a focus on worldly success to operating in my true passion, ministering to young men, husbands, and fathers who are lost and hurting and whose lives have been ruined by addiction."
Pastor Ramon Ayala has a powerful testimony of his victory over addiction by faith in Jesus Christ and is a 2012 graduate of Faith Farm’s sister ministry, Dunklin Memorial Camp. After completing the program at Dunklin, Ramon stayed on to serve and continue a process of personal and family healing for three years before moving on to Canaan Church in Miami, a restoration church for families. He served four years there, where he was ordained as a pastor dedicated himself to the restoration of broken families. Pastor Ramon, his wife Monica, and their four children joined Faith Farm Ministries in November of 2019.
Dairon Del Campo M. recognizes today what the mercy and grace of God is on his life. Addiction took hold of his life growing up and the majority of his Adulthood. In 2019 God called him out of addiction after hitting rock-bottom and getting an ultimatum from his family. He’s a former graduate from Dunklin Memorial Church our sister program. Since 2020, Dairon has been part of Faith Farm’s team. Dairon has an extended resume working as a leader and manager for many years at a secular level. Today he continues to lead and share from his own experience and testimony in our body and community with his wife and three children as part of Faith Farm Ministries.

Marc has been with Faith Farm since February 2005, when he entered the Okeechobee Campus as a Student. After successfully completing Faith Farm’s Basic Program, he stayed as an Advanced Student to explore God’s call to the ministry.
