Christafari is far more than a band...

Headed by Mark Mohr, an ordained minister, they are an evangelistic, counter-cult, drug aversion ministry, using reggae music and the spoken word to reach a wayward generation. "With the release of 'Gravity,' our desire is to bring hope to the afflicted, edify the body of Christ, evangelize the lost, and ultimately see all of our listeners gravitate towards the Word of God," said Mohr.

CHRISTAFARI (Christ-a-far-eye) The Root of the name of this band is found in three languages; Greek, Latin and Amharic.

1) First and most importantly is the Greek language through which God chose to write the New Testament. In this Language the name Cristoforos (Christafaros) means "the Christ bearer" and Cristoforoi (Christafaroi) which is plural meaning "a group of people that collectively bear or represent Christ."

2) Representing the same definition with a closer spelling is the Latin word Christafari.

3) This name Christafari can also be found in the Ethiopian language Amharic. "Christ" being the Greek word meaning Messiah, the anointed one "Jesus Christ". "Tafari" is the Amharic word for Creator, Almighty, awesome, Father and one who needs to be worshipped. Christafari gets it's name from John 1:1-3.

4) Lastly, in modern Greek, The name Christafari means "Soldiers for Christ" or "a salvation army."

Overall, the name states that Christ is the Creator the awesome Almighty God. He is our loving Father that should be feared and deserves the greatest of worship. This is why we bear His name and choose to represent Him as soldiers for Christ and warriors for His Kingdom.
