Theresa Dion
Theresa Dion 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 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!
​
Her greatest joy is to serve God’s people by helping them break the chains of the enemy and overcome everything that holds them back from experiencing their full inheritance in the Lord. “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32
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.” “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds”. Psalm 147:3
She is So Excited for the privilege to share with you at the Warrior Family Gathering. 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”!
Victoria Giacone
Victoria Giacone is a Certified Biblical Counselor with After the Rain Ministries, and the Founder of Wild Flowers Discipleship Program where one and 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. 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 28 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!”

Lisa Van Den Berg
Lisa Van Den Berg is a Certified Biblical Counselor and Life Coach for After the Rain Ministries, and Founder of Bloom Prayer and 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 and her husband Rob live in Visalia, CA where they love to spend time with their precious children and grandchildren. 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.
“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.” Ephesians 3:20
Taylor Giacone
Taylor Giacone is a Certified Biblical Counselor for After the Rain Ministries and 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. Going through Biblical Counseling herself, Taylor has seen and experienced the faithfulness of God in her life by walking through her past, her pain and her brokenness with Jesus. In her transformation, God radically called her out of her career path and gave her a deep desire to become a Certified Biblical Counselor. 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.
Taylor is from Visalia, California and now resides with her husband, Michael, in Huntington Beach, CA for half the year while traveling the states with him the rest of the year as he pursues a career in baseball. This opportunity to travel has given them a ministry and mission to reach men and women 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.”
Joel Mott
Joel Mott is the Co-Founder of California Will Be Saved— A worship and outreach initiative committed to saving the lost and activating believers to unite and fulfill the Great Commission. He is also on staff with Ekballo Pasadena as worship coordinator, along with being a songwriter, worship leader and a preacher of the Gospel.
In 2017 God marked him through a series of encounters during corporate worship moments where he saw Jesus for who He really was and the fire of God wrecked his life. A year later he left college and moved to Pasadena, California where he currently lives, because of a promise from the Lord of there being a revival that would take place on the west coast and spread to the nations.
Through worship and evangelism, he is seeing many come to know Jesus and the same fire that marked him four years ago, is marking people young and old across the nation. Joel has an assignment to bring the revelation of who Jesus is and in many ways, re-introduce Jesus to this generation that has come too familiar with a false portrayal of God. Joel is passionate and is convinced that “Worship allows us to see God rightly”.
He believes we have stepped into an incredible season of Kingdom advancement and Harvest and revival and it is going to require EVERYBODY!
Ross Johnson
Ross Johnston is the Founder of CA Will Be Saved Worship Movement that is hosting the presence of God all throughout California to bring people into the very presence of Jesus that saves and delivers.
He is currently 27 years old and came to Jesus at 16 after growing up in a lesbian household and being born by artificial ensemination. He is originally from LA and his two greatest desires are to see California be known for Jesus and for men of God to be equipped to walk in power and purity! He is convinced that “Where California goes, the World goes”.
He visibly has seen the last 2 years of how our world is crying out for true love and true identity. He is determined to use every part of his being to love people and love Jesus with all that he has. He is convinced that if just one person who encounters Jesus through him comes to know Him, it’s all worth it. He proclaims, “Truth is, our lives are short. We’re here today and gone tomorrow. But, what if we could be aware of Jesus moment by moment in such a way that heaven becomes reality on earth”. He believes that now is the time and he desires to commission and challenge people to either come be a part of the greatest revival in history or watch from the sidelines.
Let the weak say, “I am a warrior” Joel 3:10
