2026 #JVMYouth Ministry theme – Javi’s Journey!
Meet Javi!
Javi (pronounced “JAH-vee”) is JVM Youth Ministry's fictional character who is on a mission to discover God’s truth and purpose one step at a time. Javi is ready to lead our youth on a faith-filled adventure called "Javi’s Journey".
Javi is a tween, 11 – 13 years old. He loves helping others see the good that God has placed inside them. He wasn’t always this confident, in fact, he used to feel overlooked and unsure of his purpose. But when he met Pastor Moody and learned what J.V.M. stands for — Jesus Vindicated Me — everything changed!
Javi realized that Jesus had already spoken for him, stood up for him, and given him a new identity. Now he wants to help other students discover the same truth! So, Rise & Shine!
JOIN JAVI'S JOURNEY!! - BIBLE VERSES & DEVOTIONAL SERIES
“Rise up and Shine, God is with you!”
Javi’s Journey is a faith-filled adventure where youth discover God’s truth, strength, and purpose, one Bible verse and one step at a time. Each devotional is scripture based with a clear, simplistic Bible translation, a paraphrase in language that youth understand, and includes an action step for youth to take. The devotional is a “checkpoint” in Javi’s journey, and the children are invited to walk alongside him.
Our #JVMYouth Ministry Coordinator, Sis Crystal Patterson and the JVMOM family hope this is a fun, interactive way for our children to engage with Scripture, build a closer relationship with God, and realize that their age is never a limit to making a big impact!
" Join the Adventure - Get Your Passport!"
- How It Works: JVM families, please share Javi with your children, grandchildren and friends as he offers encouraging, youth-friendly devotionals and "action steps" designed to bring the Bible to life.
- Join the Adventure: To make this journey even more exciting, each child can get their own "Javi’s Journey Passport"!
- Get Your Passport: Passports will be distributed and available at JVMOM's in-person services. Come join us and ensure your youth embarks on this exciting journey!
- Earn Your Stamps: As the youth read the weekly devotionals and share what they’ve learned or completed, they will receive a stamp on their passports. The more stamps they collect, the more they learn and the more prizes they can earn!
And the Journey Begins...
Isaiah 60:1-3 — Rise & Shine
Scripture (NLT): “Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see. For the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you. Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but the glory of the Lord rises and appears over you. All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see your radiance."
Javi’s Interpretation: Get up and shine! God’s light is in you.
Short Devotional: God put a light inside you that can shine even in dark or difficult times. When you choose hope, kindness, and faith, you show others what God is like. Your life can brighten someone else’s day.
Action Step: Do one thing today that brings light to someone – a kind word, a smile, or help.
Jeremiah 29:11 — God Has a Plan for You
Scripture (NLT): “For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Javi’s Interpretation: God has a good plan for your life and your future.
Short Devotional: Life can feel confusing, especially when things don’t go the way you expected. But God isn’t unsure about your future — He already sees the whole story. His plans are filled with hope, purpose, and goodness. You can trust that He’s leading you step by step.
Action Step: Think of one thing you’re worried about and pray, “God, I trust Your plan.”
