Until we come into such unity in our faith and knowledge of GOD'S SON that we will be mature and full grown in the LORD, measuring up to the full stature of CHRIST. Ephesians 4:13 (NLT) Javin (pronounced Jayvin) J. Love was born August 13, 1984 in Grand Rapids, MI where he was raised and now resides. Javin was raised by his teenage mom and later on a stepfather. Javin grew up in a family of parting alcoholics and drug addicts. Javin's mom decided to leave that lifestyle in 1996 she took him with her. They started attending church regularly often 3-4 times per week. Shortly after the conversion Javin accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior. Upon his acceptance the devil got busy. He immediately tried to take Javin out. At 12 years of age he hit by a semi-truck while riding his bike. The driver being totally unaware dragged him about a 1/2 of a block, before realizing that he was beneath his truck. Javin lay trapped underneath the tire of a semi truck. But by the grace of God he walked out of the hospital that same day without a broken bone. Javin has witnessed many things in his young life. From being in his aunts house at 4 years of age watching while someone chops the door down with an ax because of a drug deal gone bad to raids and shootings. By the age 16 Javin was hanging with the wrong crowd totally under the influence of all the wrong things. He started smoking blunts as a way to relieve the stresses and pressures of his teenage life. His love for rap music goes all the way back to his childhood, and he often talked about becoming a rapper. Javin's time became consumed with smoking blunts and listening to secular music, mostly hardcore rap. He invested the majority of his time working, writing raps and smoking blunts. he strived to produce his first and only "worldly" CD. Just prior to completion of the CD the Lord called a halt to the project, and instructed Javin to write and rap for His glory. Javin decides to follow the voice of the Lord and drop the blunts and picked up a pen,the pen that would write his testimony. Javin comes to the table with a newly formed commitment to Christ, he has a passion to win souls and strong desire to see the people of God set free from Satan's grip. He believes that one of Satan's strongest grips on young people is the music they listen to. Javin's mission is to present to the world the Lord Jesus Christ and to tell them of His life changing power, through the ministry in which he has been called to "Gospel Rap" Javin attends Deliverance Power Church where he sits under Pastor Wilfredo Santos; he is faithful tithing and as well as in attendance.
