Reggae Redemption - Christafari's Mark Mohr

Christafari was founded in 1989 by songwriter, producer, and lead vocalist, Mark Mohr. Raised in a Christian family, Mark strayed from his spiritual upbringing during his teens and turned to drugs, alcohol and even growing marijuana. After having an undeniable encounter with God at a youth camp just before turning 18, Mohr re-committed his life to God and took what he now calls his "Freedom Step out of addiction." He felt God impressing on his heart to start the first gospel reggae band in America. It would be a counter-cult, drug aversion ministry that used the conscious sounds of reggae to bring the lost into the light. Christafari has performed performed at two Olympic Games and even played for the President of the United States. The band often faces profound persecution as they share the message of Christ with mainstream reggae fans. With their unique sound they proclaim a positive message of hope and salvation to a lost generation.
