HYMN OF THE WEEK As a rebellious drug addicted youth, Mohr found an affinity for reggae music and became a marijuana grower and Rastafarian after a visit to Jamaica in 1986. In 1989 the seventeen-year-old Mohr stopped using marijuana and committed his life to Christ at JH Ranch, a Christian camp. Two weeks later at another Christian youth camp Mohr wrote and performed his first gospel reggae song Give Me Everything I Need at a talent show. The bass-player that day said; So youre no longer a Rastafarian, youre a Christafarian. The name stuck. Initially called the Christafarians Mark was backed by the Steadfast crew for his first few shows (September and October 1989). Eventually Mohr shortened the name to Christafari, (pronounced Christ-a-far-eye) and pieced together his own band members.
