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!

On July 2, I will say I do!

With joy I announce that on July 2, I will say I do!!
There are some things in life we pray and hope for, for a very long time and then finally God grants you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4)
I started praying for a godly spouse 8 years ago and God has answered my prayer officially! I am so thankful to God and overwhelmed with joy, as I prepare to step into a lifetime of marriage together with my best friend Kerron.
