4 Countries evangelized in 4 weeks!🌎

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ.”1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

We just finished up an exhausting, yet tremendously fruitful month of ministry in Central America. We kicked it off in Mexico and then headed down to El Salvador. From there we ministered for two weeks in Guatemala and have just finished the final leg of the tour with our biggest outreach concerts yet in Belize. We have been on the road for a month straight!

This trip came with a lot of challenges, more than usual: From constant delays, to some getting sick again, to 3 cars breaking down that we used for transportation in Guatemala, to finding out the Christafari ministry vehicle in California was stolen from the driveway, plus our keyboard player falling off a jeep and spending a night in the hospital. Yes, all of that in this entire month!

But God reminds us in His word to consider it "pure joy" when we go through trials as James 1:2 says.
It’s even harder to give thanks to God for everything that comes our way - especially when many of those things are unexpected, unwelcome, and worst of all, completely out of our control!

We have so much to give thanks for; from the breath in our lungs, to our health, to our family, for the Word of God, the Holy Spirit dwelling inside us, and the Gospel that transforms lives and saves souls. And that’s why we’re doing this. That’s why we endure tremendous hardships for the sake of the Good News. Because at the end of it all, it’s so worth it.

In El Salvador we had the opportunity to minister to the women in a prison. Matthew 25:36 " I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

Leading in Gospel reggae worship in El Salvador

Thankful to God to have been part of Reggae Fest in El Salvador and to share my zeal for Jesus Christ with others. I always ask the Lord let my praise and faith be contagious so others will come to You Lord.

“Praise the LORD, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples

Last show we played in Belize and we were blessed by this audio sound production team from Guatemala who came with us everywhere in Guatemala and Belize. Immensely grateful for the many partners in ministry.

I wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!

With Love,

Highlights from an amazing mission in Madagscar and Mauritius

It has been long 3 weeks of ministry in Madagascar and Mauritius. We have seen a lot, endured sickness, theft and were blessed by amazing hosts in both countries as we came to do ministry and shared the Good News at every outreach and every humanitarian effort.
There was definitely opposition against our team spiritually, many of us could sense it by what was going on. Yet, I am reminded God has the victory and He gets the glory each time we overcome the trials with our faith in Jesus Christ.
So this is to celebrate what God has done, and to say thank you for having sent us into the mission field. We saw a great harvest truly.

We drove 4 hrs to Antisirabe where we had two nights of great outreaches and where we started our first outreach

Two nights in a row we partnered with other ministers of the Gospel and saw thousands come out to worship and to praise the Lord as well others accepting the Lord.

During our last show in Madagascar this lady who has terminal uterus cancer desired to come to our show to worship Jesus. Iris prayed for her and Justin got to speak encouraging words to her and thanked her for being there on this day.

Everyone in Christafari also did a workshop on our particular job in the band. I got to teach a dance workshop 3 times with Iris, and some of the students were able to perform with us during the show. It means so much to lead others into the ways of the Lord and to speak about using your talents for the Lord instead of the world.

Our last day before we flew to Mauritius some of us went to a small school in an impoverished neighborhood and we were able to share with the kids and bless the kids with clothes we brought with us from the USA.

Mauritius was a true blast! We sold out all three days of the outreaches. We danced, we sang, we worshipped together! The audience often at times was louder than us. A great reminder how we come together to worship for an audience of the One! Plus the Gospel was shared every night. Praise the Lord for the harvest we saw!

It was a true blessing to also play the new songs of our new album: The Day of the Lord that recently came out.

Marriage Update, Ministry and Tour dates

It has been a month full of joyful change. On July 2, I said I do to forever with my best friend. This is truly the best day after having said I do to Jesus Christ. I went from Ms. Carter to Mrs.Edwards officially and I am walking this season through all that comes with growing our marriage.

Thank you so much for the support, prayers, financial blessings and wisdom. It was the perfect small simple wedding just as we both wanted with no more than 25 people, and we even last minute had 54 people tune in via zoom to watch the ceremony as well. God is good! 
As soon as we got married we took a plane to Tulum, Mexico for 10 days where we enjoyed our days full of adventures together. 

I also had the bittersweet experience to have to say goodbye to my husband after 2 weeks married, as I went back to work on tour with Christafari for another 43 days in Arizona, Kansas, New Mexico, Nevada and California. Though we are married but apart currently, we both are praying to the Lord and know that this is not forever and not for long and we know God has brought us together for a divine purpose where we  in due time will serve the Lord together. I love my husband so much and look forward to serve God together with our gifts, talents and dreams in His timing.

MINISTRY UPDATES CHRISTAFARI

For the month of August Christafari is ministering a few shows in California. This will be officially the last shows we do in America before we prepare after 3 years again for international travels. Come see us if you are in the area.

As a minister of the Gospel and woman I love connecting with other women after our shows. God gave me a moment here with Indie to pray and to encourage her as a woman, wife and mother. #PrayerisPower

it is an honor to serve the Lord in every and any capacity, from singing, playing bass . dancing and speaking. Serve Jesus with all you have and let Him take care of who is being reached through your obedience.

For our first international trip since March 2020, we’ve decided to do something we’ve never done before…. a mission to Madagascar! It’s the 4th largest island in the world. Located 260 miles off the coast of Mozambique, it’s considered a part of Africa. It’s about the size of California and is know for its extreme biodiversity and exotic creatures like lemurs, chameleons and plants that you can’t find anywhere else on earth. But it’s the people that we are going there to minister to and they are equally as diverse and beautiful.

Also pray that the Lord provides for this mission that will cost at least $50,000. We are so grateful for your continued support!
