Diana Rayes

Education Coordinator
California Leadership

I was born in Miami, Florida, and grew up in a close-knit Pentecostal Christian household. At the age of 17, I was struck by the devastating grief of losing my mother. That loss began a search for purpose that led me down a very dark and lonely road filled with addiction, disappointment, and a deep-rooted depression. No matter where I turned, I always felt like something was missing.

In 2023, God led me to the Hoving Home, where I finally found what I had been searching for all along. The freedom I found in Christ is something I have become deeply passionate about sharing with others.

Through the redemptive love of Christ, I am now honored to serve as the Education Coordinator here in the Pasadena campus. I find such deep fulfillment in coming alongside the ladies who com in to the program as they discover their true identity and healing in the word of God. I get to wake up every morning with a heart full of gratitude for the way God has worked everything out for my good.
