With that initial class established, she followed a dream, moved to St. Simons Island, Georgia, and entered training to become a Certified Addictions Counselor, licensed by the State of Georgia. She worked professionally both as an addictions counselor in secular hospitals and in private practice as a Christian Family Counselor under the authority of local churches. Eventually she retired to share, through lay ministry, what she had learned, both personally and professionally, about the Biblical and psychological principles of “living well.”  She began this work in 1994 when she founded Living Well Ministries, Inc., a soul-care ministry that takes participants from “seeker of Truth” to “servant of others” through a discipleship process.  This soul-care discipleship process includes renewing the mind, healing the emotions, and maturing the spirit for the purpose of discovering and developing one’s personal ministry and mission in life.  Barby retired as president of LWM, Inc. in 2002 to spend more time writing, speaking and consulting with individuals, pastors, health and mental-health professionals, and other professional care-givers to expose the need for more competent soul-care in both the Church and the community.  She continues this work through ConsultCARE, a service which operates independently from, but in cooperation with, all other lay-ministries, churches and professional care-givers.  Barby and her husband, Westy, are one of the founding families of St. Simons Community Church where they love to worship and serve.  They are blessed with three beloved daughters and their families, including six wonderful grandchildren. The President of Living Well Ministries, Inc., Vicki Goodrich was a stay-at-home mom for the early years of her children’s lives. Her experiences as a wife and mother, Bible study leader, home school coordinator for a local Christian school, youth leader, drama coach and mission team leader were excellent training ground for the work she does today. In 1995, she became a participant in a Seekers group with Living Well Ministries. After going through her own healing process, she sensed the call of God to learn how to facilitate this same healing process for others. The founder of the original group became her mentor. Vicki increased her educational experience, by accepting work at a nearby Community Service agency in the field of addictions.  She has since completed her Bachelor of Biblical Studies. In addition, she continues to take courses in lay counseling from the Center for Biblical Counseling, an extension of the American Association of Christian Counselors. Most recently, she received her credentials through the International Board of Christian Counselors as a Board Certified Biblical Counselor. Mrs. Goodrich has served as President and Executive Director of Living Well Ministries, Inc. since 2002.  Vicki, and her husband, Thomas, reside in Brunswick, Georgia, and worship at St. Simons Christian Renewal Church. They have a son, daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter.   The Vice-President of Living Well Ministries, Inc., Georgann Shumans was employed as the secretary for a Christian school and then as a Bookkeeping Assistant for her church during the early years of her children’s lives.  In 1996 she became a participant in a Seekers group with Living Well Ministries.  After going through this healing process, she felt called to share with others the hope, strength and experience that she had received through Living Well Ministries. She has been in Leadership Training and Group Facilitator Training through Living Well Ministries, since 1999.  In addition, she continues to take courses in lay counseling from the Center for Biblical Counseling, an extension of the American Association of Christian Counselors.  In 2000 - 2001 she served as Treasurer for Living Well Ministries, Inc. and is currently serving as Vice President and Assistant Director of Living Well Ministries, Inc.

She has been employed in the accounting field since 1986. Recently she began to hear the call of God on her life to use her accounting skills in ministry. In obedience, she resigned as Staff Accountant with Denny Silva, CPA, P.C. and now works with LWM. Her experience in small business and nonprofit accounting is a blessing to Living Well Ministries.
