Javier Mesa
Javier is from Madisonville, Louisiana. He grew up in New York City and lived there until 12 years old. When he was young, he was molested by his uncle, who was a priest. He then moved to Columbia and spent four years there. He moved to Louisiana when he was 16 and was middle child with no guidance. He quit high school and was living for his flesh. He joined the army but was not living a fulfilled and joyful life. He met his wife when he was 34 and has been happily married to her and their beautiful children, Ava and Sam.
Currently, Javier is the Director at 4LP- A commercial lightning protection company. He is living his best life now as he surrendered his life to Christ. God has opened the doors for him in his life and he truly has real peace and joy. Javier has also connected with men’s groups and is very active in the School of Grit. Lastly, he is living an authentic life that is God-inspired and is giving back to the kingdom by helping men with similar struggles that he went through before he had his breakthrough.
