This was also Mary Kay's life and business motto. Joy and her husband, Darrell are the proud parents of three married children, six grandchildren and one great grandchild. Darrell and Joy are also proud to serve the county as licensed foster parents. Joy will guide the staff in selecting and accepting at-risk youth in the program who show the highest risk factors. She feeds, grooms and trains the equine and teaches the at-risk youth life skills learned through The Natural Lifemanship Institute. Joy counsels the tutoring and vocational training volunteers as well as the equine specialists. She and Darrell have become more aware of the need some children have of simply feeling safe and loved while experiencing the foster parent life challenges. These are two major life lessons the ranch will seek to provide at-risk youth who participate in the program. |

Kelli AdamsEquine Specialist, Board Member
Born in Connecticut and raised on a horse farm in Vermont, Kelli got smart and headed south for College, attending the University of South Carolina. Her family, hating the cold winters soon followed, landing in the Myrtle Beach area in the early 1980’s. Marrying her soulmate in her mid-thirties -- who came as a package with twin pre-teenaged girls—Kelli discovered that she enjoyed working with youth and left her real estate career to become a youth director at a small country church and a substitute teacher for the middle and high schools in Johnston County, North Carolina. When in late 2011 her husband accepted a job that required significant travel, they decided to return to the house they own on the Waccamaw River in Conway and a year later she discovered the volunteer opportunity with the Barnabas Horse Foundation. Finding something that now combined her knowledge and love for horses and her desire to help children, Kelli dove in and quickly got trained as an equine specialist through The Natural Lifemanship Institute. She joined the Barnabas Board of Directors in November 2014, and in 2016, funded by The Victims of Crime Act grant, she became one of three paid staff and worked as the Community Outreach Coordinator through 2018. When Hurricane Florence descended on the Carolina’s in September of 2018 and flooded their home on the Waccamaw River, Kelli and Bryan returned to his beloved Johnston County, NC. Giving up her dream job to return to NC with her husband, Kelli has, after two years of searching, finally found a place to land. She is excited to join Janice Faye’s Ranch as a volunteer equine specialist and looks forward to being a part of this ministry and going where God leads.. |
