We are a Nonprofit Christian Counseling and Resource Center Offering Hope and Healing to God’s Beloved Children.

Theresa is the Founder and Director of After the Rain Ministries where God has commissioned her to raise up an army by equipping the saints to know who God truly is, to know who they are in Him and to know what they are fighting for; empowering the warriors of God to take back ground the enemy stole and FIGHT TO WIN!

 

She is a Licensed Counselor, Ordained Minister that holds a Master’s degree in both Behavioral Health and Divinity in Pastoral Counseling. She is a State Certified Codependence & Addiction Specialist, Certified Marriage and Family Specialist, Life Education Instructor, and Conference Speaker. She has had the privilege in the last 15 years to work one-on-one with hundreds who were struggling and witness their lives be radically changed and set free. She has taught hundreds of men and women how to overcome life’s challenges and has had the joy of equipping and training leaders to be biblical counselors and ministers of the gospel who effectively now counsel with the Word of God that sets us free! With over 25 years of ministry serving the body of Christ, Theresa truly believes the best gift is to see victory and freedom in those she has been able to help.

 

She teaches the Word of God with all her heart and passion that comes from knowing the Lord personally with reverence and awe. Her drive to serve the body of Christ and see the church rise up comes from many years of being a Christian in bondage feeling as though there was no way out of her circumstance or freedom from the pain within. But God!!! He heard her cry, and systematically took her through a process of healing and Set Her Free! He then gave her the heart of a warrior to walk others into His arms, freedom and empowerment!

 

She believes, “IT’S TIME for the body of Christ to walk out of the darkness of their pain and into the light of the freedom and empowerment found only in Jesus, and to KNOW that we are loved beyond measure and created with a divine purpose to fulfill.”

 

Her mission is to reach as many people as possible with the power of God’s truth that brings lasting transformation to set the captives free. Isaiah 61:1

 

She is convinced that, “Broken hearts create broken lives ~ But God.”

Psalm 147:3 - He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

My name is John Giacone and I am the Lead Pastor of Flames of Fire Church. It is my honor and great privilege to be a servant of the Lord and a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am a devoted husband to my beautiful wife and helpmate Cassie and a blessed father of three amazing children. They are my first ministry and responsibility unto the Lord and my greatest joy.

 

I am certainly acquainted with struggles, grief and hard times but by the Power of the Cross and through perseverance with the Lord; I have overcome many obstacles and reaped a harvest greater then I could have ever imagined. I love the Lord with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. I believe we are called to live out the gospel in word and deed and that our life should reflect our oneness with the Father. It is my lives goal to walk that out and be an example of His love to everyone I meet. 

 

God has always given me a deep love for the body of Christ especially for the hurting, a desire to see all God’s people be and do all He has created them to be. He has taught me the three most important things in life; faith, hope and love but the greatest of these is Love. (1 Corinthians 13:13) This is my mission in life; to help, teach, counsel and lead as many as God allows into a life lived in Him with these treasures.     

 

As a pastor, I am passionate about the body of Christ, God’s children knowing their true identity in the Lord by seeing themselves through the Holy Word of God. Learning to walk in the grace of God in Spirit and in Truth. Jesus says, “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.” (John 4:23)

Victoria is a Certified Biblical Counselor with After the Rain Ministries, and the Founder of Deep Soils Discipleship Program where one on one intimacy is established to host people into a greater revelation of their intimacy with Jesus, how to walk in their full inheritance of heaven here on earth, and how to live a life commissioned to give heaven away. She is also the Founder of Garden Girls Women’s Ministry where women have a safe place to be “Fully Exposed and Fully Known” to therefore enter into the Garden of Intimacy of His Heart with each other in Him.

 

She is currently 29 years old and by the might and grace of God’s love, her eyes have remained on her Father since the age of 5, pursuing wholehearted intimacy with Him that is unshakable. Her name means “Victoriously Pure” and this is the POWER of her testimony in Christ Jesus.

 

Jesus is her absolute everything. She is convinced that if she had nothing else, He would be enough! She proclaims, “I have an everyday and every moment intimacy with Jesus that causes me to understand my freedom in Him in every circumstance and detail of my life. It is my heart's longing for people to experience the same heavenly reality of freedom that I do and give it away to all the world”.

 

Isaiah 6:8 - Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

Taylor is a Certified Biblical Counselor with After the Rain Ministries where she has seen and experienced the faithfulness of God in her life by walking through her own past, her pain and her brokenness with Jesus through being counseled originally through ATR. Through this process, God completely transformed her understanding of His Truth and Spirit and radically called her out of her career path, giving her a deep desire to become a Certified Biblical Counselor.

 

Taylor now lives life pouring out everything that God has done in her into others in hopes that she might help those like her, who were once in the darkness of brokenness enter into their own healing and wholeness in the Lord. She has a great passion to help, encourage, support and guide other women in their journey to discover what it truly means to be the bride of Christ. She believes that God has called us to His purpose, which is to know Him, and to know that He has set us apart in His heart before the beginning of time.

 

Taylor and her husband, Michael, earnestly seek the heart of God together and hope to be a vessel of hope to men and women everywhere. They spend most of the year travelling while Michael pursues his career in baseball. This opportunity to travel has given them a ministry and mission to reach the Family of God all across the country to share the love of Christ!

2 Timothy 1:9 - He has saved us and called us to a holy life - not because of anything we have done but because of His own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time.

Lisa is a Certified Biblical Counselor with After the Rain Ministries, and the Founder of Bloom Prayer & Worship Ministry. Lisa has known the Lord for as long as she can remember and has always attended church but felt there was something lacking in her walk with the Lord. She struggled for years to find her true identity in Christ and eventually came to the end of herself and surrendered her life to Jesus. He rescued her from being stuck in a cycle of bondage and lies by taking her on a grace filled journey of healing through Biblical Counseling. As she began to be set free by the truth, God gave her a passion to encourage and disciple women, along with providing a safe place for women to come as they are.

 

Lisa resides in Central California with her husband Rob. She believes family is one of the most important gifts God has given her. Building relationships and doing life with her brothers and sisters in Christ is a blessing beyond words to her. Lisa wholeheartedly believes that It is God’s desire is to equip and empower His children to live an abundant life of freedom.

 

John 8:36 - So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

 

Ephesians 3:20 - Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.

Michael is passionate about building the Kingdom of God by sharing God’s word and His redeeming love. Growing up in a Christian home he has known of the Lord since he was just a little boy but it wasn’t until his senior year of high school and early college years that he truly surrendered his life to the Lord as a living sacrifice and began a relationship with Him. Michael has gone through many trials that have stretched and strengthened his faith and he now knows the Lord to be his Savior, Lord, Healer, Provider and Protector. 

​

Michael has alway enjoyed playing sports but especially baseball where he learned much of his leadership skills and how to work as a team for a common goal. By standing up for his beliefs and living his life before the Lord in purity in the mist of worldly pressures, he paved a way for others to see a godly example of a life lived for the Lord through the power of the Holy Spirit. His focus, perseverance and drive to never quit alongside his words of encouragement have inspired many to keep fighting the good fight of faith as he supports the body of Christ to be all they can be in the Lord.

 

Colossians 3:23 - Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.
