I came to Journey to the Heart as an overweight young man in need of a lot of change in my life both physically and spiritually. I really enjoyed the Journey and learned a tremendous amount about aligning under God and my authority and getting rid of the secret sins that had been eating away my life. I learned that the power of sin is in its secrecy.
After the Journey, I went to ALERT to honor my Mom and Dad, not because I wanted to. Though it was hard, I grew both physically in strength and endurance and spiritually in faith and reliance on God for my every need.
While taking law enforcement and property care to complete Phases 2 & 3 of ALERT, I learned so much more. One of the most important lessons I learned and am still applying it in my life is the concept of what really matters in life; all the frills and accessories are nothing when I compare them with my relationship with God and others. I must be willing to do anything to honor and defend these relationships.

Jevenn, that’s a marvelous testimony – God always honors submission to parents; your emphasis on relationships strikes a chord in today’s society as well – the people around us are too tragically often the first things we overlook in our personal lives.
That CBN spot was S.O. encouraging! I had no idea that this spot even existed!

Jevenn,thank you very much for your testimony! The importance of our relationships with God and those He has put in our lives…I know this is what I needed to read today.
Thank You!

Jevenn, you’ve been an encouragement to me as a sibling and because I knew you were facing all those difficulties at Alert, it kept me motivated to do my best at home. Thanks for sticking to it!
