Who We Are
Living surrendered lives to the Father has led our team to minister on a variety of global platforms - to the restricted, unreached, and remote. From smuggling thousands of Bibles into the Middle East, to unreached villages in the African bush country, and even ministering with the risk of imprisonment. This way of life has taught us a dependency on the Father and cultivated and understanding that He is worthy, no matter the cost of obeying His voice.
Our team at Immerse is simply following Christ’s example of hunger and passion, wanting nothing more but to see His Bride rise up and take her place as the Power of God transforms lives.
By partnering with churches all across the world, we are helping to establish Evangelism teams, Discipleship Training, Worship Events, and Resources that are specifically focused on bringing the Body of Christ together to realize an eternal impact on our communities.
Through this community and church partnership, we have found a people willing to abide in Christ and make Him known everywhere they go, bringing the Power of God with them as they serve and impact the world around them.
JAVEN & CAITLIN MIRABELLA
COMMUNITIES DIRECTORS & CO-FOUNDERS
Javen and Caitlin were married in 2008 and have two daughters, Ayanna and Soniya. Both have been involved in missions since their youth. By the time Javen was 16 years old he had helped to smuggle tens of thousands of Bibles into the Middle East. Together they have been in full-time ministry since 2011 in restricted nations, remote villages and among people untouched by the Gospel, almost 30 different nations all together. God’s call has taken them to minister in the USA, Middle East, Europe, South America, and Africa.
They co-founded Immerse The Nations together with Justin & Bonnie Beal, and as a ministry, their goal is to minister out of a place of personal intimacy and communion with Christ, bringing the Kingdom everywhere they go. Their heart is to see the Body of Christ become one under the banner of one name- Jesus, sparking authentic hunger to know Christ and make Him known. Javen serves as Vice-President of the Hernando Christian Ministerial Association and also partners with many different ministry teams and churches in spreading the gospel.
As they are a family blessed by the miracle of adoption, their deep desire is to see the responsibility of adoption taken on by the Body of Christ, as James 1:27 declares. They are committed to seeing Christian families open their homes in surrender to God’s heart for adoption.
“Evangelism isn’t what we do, it is a byproduct of who we are as followers of Christ.” – Javen & Caitlin Mirabella
