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.

God has blessed her with a love for the underrepresented and those in personal need. In 2015, her husband went to be with the Lord. At that time, God called her away from basketball and into servanthood to the Body of Christ and homeless community. Her motto is to meet all people at their point of need. As an ordained minister of the Gospel and Professional Chaplain, PK speaks at women’s conferences, prayer meetings, teaches various Bible studies, works with Kairos Prison Ministry, The Emmaus Walk, and street ministry.
She has a deep heart for God, and in service of Christ by discipling, mentoring, and teaching the Word of God from various systematic theological prospectives in a matter-of-fact way.
