We just finished a month of touring through Argentina and Brazil. In one word: INSANE!
But oh how I experienced God in a mighty way. Being a missionary that is called to multiple nations a year at short-term visits has its challenges. But I am so reminded of Colossians 3:17 "Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father."
Truth is we don't always feel like giving thanks when we are tired, hungry, exhausted from multiple airplane flights, when we are starting to battle sickness among each other, or when things don't go as planned. But this tests our character truly and this shows what we truly build our foundation on. On comfort or on Jesus Christ who Yes, is enough.
I wanted to start this first 2020 update with transparency from the heart with humanity. There are no super missionaries, ministers, pastors, disciples or leaders, but there is a God who gives his supernatural through the Holy Spirit. So wherever you are reading this, PLEASE take heart and know that you can live up to the calling that God has given you, and Jesus will sustain you, and the Holy Spirit will direct you. For I am a witness a month later after this long trip that God gets the glory every time!
MINISTRY
Argentina was such an amazing place to be in, I can't wait to go back! Pastor Mark makes every night sure that The Good News gets shared along with a translator. Seeing from this angle every night how people respond, makes everything so worth it.

Ministry is not the moments people see you preach in front of thousands, but ministry is how you share your life, ministry is when you stop what you do to intercede in prayer for those who ask can you pray for my son! Take time today and don't miss the opportunity of ministry that is in front of you
Check this out! During this moment in Brazil our manager Michelle led Guillerme to Christ. He interviewed me and our drummer Markus. This just shows, just because someone is familiar with Christianity jargon, it doesn't always mean someone has a personal relationship with Jesus. Michelle who discerned the spirit was so bold here and simply asked if this young man had ever accepted Jesus into his heart, after he said no, she just asked would you like to now? And then we all prayed with him. God gets again the glory!
MUSIC
Every night is one of a kind. We get to use the platform of gospel reggae music, and the arts as a tool to connect to people, to relate and to celebrate and enjoy who Jesus is! I can't thank God, you and the people who support me enough for being part of the mission by sending me across so many nations.
Reggae, music and Jesus in Argentina !

MISSIONS
As our one month mission to Argentina and Brazil came to a finish. We eagerly wait excitingly for the next mission that hopefully will start again in July. Due to the COVID19 pandemic reaching everywhere and affecting everyone, we unfortunately are affected by it and our trips to Israel, Egypt, Italy, are not happening as scheduled.
Some final words of my Pastor Mark Mohr:
”Due to the coronavirus festivals, tours, and flights across the world are being canceled or postponed. We’ve tried in every way possible to not have this unexpected pandemic affect our upcoming tours—but it has. Given this world shaking virus, we have decided to postpone our Middle East, Africa, and European tours that were slated for the next four months. Please pray for us as we are rescheduling these and future tours while recording new music and videos to be released shortly. We will be maximizing this time off the road with our families, spending time with the Lord, and seeking as many ministry opportunities as we can whether they be through writing, recording, creating, and preaching. We honestly can’t wait to get back on a plane again soon but we know that the Lord has set aside this season for us to pause our international touring until at least this July.
Did you know that “corona” means crown? Never forget amidst this pandemic WHO is still wearing the crown. He is the King of all Kings and the Prince of Peace. May He guard your hearts with peace today.
Thanks for your continued prayers and support blessings" - Pastor Mark Mohr
Love and Grace,
