Christafari Records a Children's Album (Mark Mohr asks for your support)
Dec. 3, 2004 - Greetings from Christafari. We are currently almost half way through recording our next album slated for a Summer 2005 release. The album is tentatively called "Reggae Sunday School", our first kid's album!
A lot of our fans started listening to our early recordings when they were in their teens (over 10 years ago) and now many have kids of their own. This will be an album for adults (that are really kids at heart) and their children too! It is being created to bless those who are sick of hearing secular kid's songs all day long and want their children to not just hear quality Christian messages, but also listen to great music. This album will feature true roots reggae, dancehall, soca, calypso and jungle in typical Christafari fashion! It will include many American and Caribbean Sunday school classics plus some great originals. It has been best described as Veggie Tales meets Sean Paul at a Christafari concert. It will also feature a massive ensemble of guest appearances from virtually every vocalist that has ever sang with Christafari in the past--plus a few new surprises.
I thank all of you for your kind letters full of heartfelt encouragement throughout the years. We are actually recording this album due to the relentless requests from our listeners. It is by the grace or God and your thoughtful words that we have the motivation to continue on in this ministry amidst great tribulations. But today I am humbly asking for more than your words. Please pray for our finances. Ask that God will continue to provide for us as we do His work. This is a tough season for us. Earlier this year our former distribution company (Butterfly) filed bankruptcy, leaving us in tremendous financial turmoil. We were robbed of 1 1/2 years worth of sales royalties from all of our Lion of Zion albums. This means that we never received one cent of income for the worldwide sales of our "Gravity" album (our greatest investment to date), which has left us in need.
Given our present situation, instead of digging ourselves into greater debt to cover the steep costs of recording, mastering, manufacturing and promoting this new album, I have decided to humbly ask our listeners to lend a helping hand. If you have ever been blessed by the ministry of Christafari, and enriched by our recordings, please consider blessing us with a monetary love-gift of any size. Your generous donation will be greatly appreciated and enable the ministry of Christafari to press on. Our need is real and immediate. Simply make your check out to "Christafari" and please make sure your name and address is written clearly on your check. Then mail it to:
Christafari
1942 259th Place

For your donation, you will get the assurance that you are blessing a ministry that is making a difference in this dark world. You will also get a huge thanks from Christafari and we will make sure that you receive a special advanced copy of this album long before anyone else has heard it! Thanks for your generosity. May you be showered with all the spiritual blessings from above!
Swimming in His Grace,
Mark Mohr
