CHRISTAFARI UPDATE (JUNE 2010)
Jun. 24, 2010 - It's been forever since our last Christafari update as things have been so busy with the band. We apologize for not keeping you up to date via email. For more frequent updates please follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/christafariband
NEW VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE
Things have been hectic since the release of our "Try Jah Love" music video and our touring has ramped up significantly since the song has been played on major channels worldwide.
If you haven't seen it yet, here is the link to our Try Jah Love Video: http://www.youtube.com/christafariband
Now you have a chance to learn the whole story behind the hit song "Most High" from Christafari's "No Compromise" CD. On this VBlog (also shot and edited by Obie Obien), I share from my heart regarding my past drug addiction, how the Lord delivered me and why there's "No high like the MOST HIGH!" Lives are already being impacted by this short video. Watch it now and please forward it to everyone that you know!

250 SOULS SAVED ON TOUR
We just returned from two incredible tours. Our first was an extensive tour of Florida where we played in six cities and saw over 100 people give their lives to Christ. During this tour we launched our new Spanish album.
After Florida we departed for our first Central American tour in years. We revisited Costa Rica and hit El Salvador for the very first time! The crowds were incredible and I dare say that El Salvador is the loudest audience in the World! It was insane and they even had pyrotechnics for the stage! In Central America we were blessed to see over 150 souls come to the Lord!
ON JC TV'S TOP THREE
We are currently in LA for a few days preparing for our upcoming tour. This Friday we're filming live performances of our songs for four episodes of Top Three, a hit program on JC TV seen by millions! This is a huge opportunity for us. These episodes will be airing multiple times every week during the whole month of July.
JOIN US ON THE 4TH OF JULY
If you live in Southern California, please join us at Wilson Park in Torrance at 4pm for a full-length Christafari concert on the fourth of July. We will be playing in the south east quadrant of the park. This performance is free so bring out your family and friends and stay for the fireworks! Make sure that you allow ample time to find parking as it gets packed on the 4th.
UPCOMING TOURS
In just a few days we leave for an extensive tour of Brazil and Argentina that will take up the majority of July! After this we will tour the East Coast and the Hawaiian Islands in August and then head back to Brazil in September. We are still looking for leads for shows in these areas.
IN THE STUDIO
In the little downtime that we've had over the last few months we've been busy recording. Last month we released our first complete Spanish album titled "Reggae de Redencion". We also recorded and released Geneman's "Long Time" and are currently in the studio tracking Jennifer Howland's "Daughter of the King" and Roge Abergel's "Dubs of Glory."
THREE BAND ENGAGEMENTS
Lastly, we'd like to offer a huge congratulation to Dannie Ramirez (Trombone), Carlos Centeno (Trumpet) and Solomon Jabby (guitar/vocals) for getting engaged in the last few months--we said that we were busy! We are so EXCITED for them and their beautiful fiance's!
WAYS YOU CAN HELP
As the Lord's return draws near, our passion for reaching every nation with the good news of Jesus Christ is getting stronger and stronger. Please pray for us, that the Lord may take us to the places that we need to be. Pray for our safety, unity, health and the Lord's provision. Kindly ask God if He is calling you to support us financially. If He is, please go to the following link and click on the "DONATE" button: http://christafari.com
Lastly, did you know that the majority of the shows that we perform each year are because of leads by friends just like you. If you believe in what we are doing and want to see us minister in your area, kindly forward us the contacts for any promoters, festivals, events, churches or clubs that you think may be receptive to our unique brand of gospel reggae. Please forward them to Kevin(at)lionofzion.com or call (310) 539-9009
Forward Ever... Backward Never...
Blessings in Christ,
Mark Mohr
