Hey, Mark & Vanessa!

It's me, Kelsi - I am the one whom you met about a month ago at a bookstore in Long Beach, California....I had the large dcTalk book! Do you remember?

A HUGE thank you for your kindness toward our family. Thank you for taking the time to sign [what seemed like] a hundred posters and for drawing the awesome artwork on my shirt! What a blessing it was to meet you both....I was so encouraged by your humility and your willingness to glorify the Lord. It's hard to imagine all the stress that comes about from traveling, doing shows, working in the studio, talking with the fans, and everything else that you must be persistent in....but I know that when it really comes down to it, it's a blessing. Impacting all those people for Christ is SO wonderful! Remaining humble is something that doesn't come easy, so I am very inspired and encouraged in my own walk with Christ when I see the humility that people like you portray. Jesus is so evident in you both and it's cool to see that you only want to serve Him.

It was also very neat to win the Christafari hat and CD from the radio station. God has been to gracious to me....

If you happen to remember, my mother promised you a photo album and supplies. She has been waiting for her embosser to return to her so she could emboss "Christafari" across the cover of the album. She finally was able to do it, and wanted me to let you know that all your supplies will be in the mail the end of this week.

I shall look forward to seeing you soon....if not in concert, then in Heaven! God bless!

Love in Christ,
Kelsi

Hi, I know that maybe you can't reply to this letter, but I have something to tell you, I'm from Puerto Rico and I have been to all of your concerts in my island. The first time I was very depressed 'cause I've been having problems with my pastor, (I'm Baptist) because of the music that I sing (hip-hop and recently dancehall) and the way that I dress.

When I saw you with your dreads and your clothes and knew that some people out there understood me. Then I bought your CDs and when I heard the song "My Eyes" it shocked me. I am a patient of spinal bifida and that song gave me a ray of light and faith. Maybe (as I said before), you can't reply to this, but I have to tell you that your music is not only good music but a blessing in my life. I can't find the new album WordSound&Power, and I would like to know where I can find it and where I can find more Christian reggae and dancehall music in Puerto Rico.

Once again thanks for being an instrument of the Holy Spirit..

God bless you all;
LIONEL SANTIAGO

Dear Christafari:

Today my sister bought me your last music production. She really knew how much I wanted it. I become acquainted about your group two years ago, and I had your last three CD's (I obtain it in a Christian Library). Since the first time I listened to you I liked all: the message and the rhythm. I give thanks to the Lord for your music; because it help me to feel good.

GOD BLESS YOU.
Sincerely,
Deborah L. Sievens

Tansoback-

The new album "Rocks My Face"!!!! If ever I am under spiritual attack I go and listen to "Warriors" and it reminds me that "if God is for us than who can be against us." Also "Why You A Go Look?" is MOST EXCELLENT!! the harmony is absolutely awesome. "Word" has influenced my calling to ministry tremendously. I read an interview of you and read that you are wanting to plant a few churches in Jamaica. How is that going? I'm praying about it, and maybe the Lord will cross our paths according to His will for the planting of churches in Jamaica. Godspeed!!!!

Peace, Love, & Jah,
Justin Hartpence

Christafari,

Word Sound & Power is a totally hot jammin' album. I am enjoying it very much. It is more than evident that Jah has completely approved of your venture with your own record label and this album is absolutely inspired by Jah Jah. I own your Soul Fire, Valley of Decision, and Word Sound & Power albums and am wondering if you have any older albums and are they still available (Please give their titles) I would love to have a complete collection of your music. I thank you for your ministry. I like a variety of music. All of the CD's that I own are by Christian bands and you are the only Reggae Band that I own. Except I did by the Temple Yard CD, which is good, but I like Word Sound & Power much better. I look forward to the next time you come through Albuquerque, NM and for the Release of your next album. YEAH, Mark, I really appreciate that you include the scripture references in the lyrics of your songs where you found some inspiration or where you are just repeating something that Jah has already said.

You guys are the best! Your music is the Best!

In His Steps, Adam Y.B.I.C.(YourBrotherInChrist)

P.S. I very much look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.
