What looked like a closed door became God's open door.
We did everything we could to get to Malaita island for our 2 shows in Auki. The only ferry broke down. No flights could get us there in time. Even our sound equipment couldn't make it across.
Then, in less than 24 hours, God redirected everything.
Instead of asking "Why?" we simply said, "Yes, Lord."
Last night, we watched Him fill Tetere Field in Guadalcanal with people hungry to hear the hope of Jesus Christ. What an incredible reminder that God's plans are always worthy of our trust.
Please pray for every person who heard the Gospel. We believe God is changing lives, one heart at a time.
Until all have heard.

1 Samuel 2:2 reads, “There is no Rock like our God.” When I think of the word Rock, I’m reminded of the profession of faith made by Peter when Jesus asked, “Who do you say that I am? “Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:16) The belief that Jesus is Lord is the true foundation of our faith. This is why Jesus replied, “On this rock I will build my church.”
As we learn from the parable of the two builders in Matthew 7:24-27, there is no safer place to build than the rock and no more dangerous place to put your house than the sand. Just ask the former owners of mansions built on the sandstone cliffs of Palos Verdes and Malibu. It may look grand, but it will not stand.
A wise man builds his house on the rock; we would be smart to do the same. What are the key elements of this rock, and what’s the best way to ensure that your house is correctly fastened to a strong foundation? In our case, how do we get the thousands that come to Christ on our tours to be firmly planted on this foundation? It all starts with the cornerstone - Jesus Christ. The positioning of every other brick in our lives is determined by his position in our hearts as Lord.
Some of the crucial building blocks we add to this to make a building will endure can be best described by the acronym PRAYS. As we say from the stage, “The person who PRAYS to Jesus stays with Jesus.”
PRAY, listen & obey
READ your Bible daily
ATTEND church & a small group
YIELD to the Holy Spirit —Jesus first
SHARE your faith
If repeated, these 5 steps are the building blocks of discipleship and ultimately make future disciple-makers!
We’ve been sharing this from the stage every night for a while. Then, one night last summer in Zambia, Ziza came up with creative hand signals to help the audience remember PRAYS. It was incredible seeing 30,000 repeat the hand signals together!
Fast forward to our Japan tour, and we just came off of a very successful string of events, after which we realized that we needed more uptempo songs in our set to reach the youth. It all started with God giving me one word on our flight to the Philippines: “Capstone.” I then added, “He is the Head Cornerstone.” Within a few minutes, the song was almost complete, so I rushed into the bathroom on the plane and recorded my ideas so as not to lose them. I wonder what the passengers waiting outside thought!
At the next concert in the Philippines, I felt the Lord nudging me to try it out on the audience with splendid results! Long after we finished the last song of the concert, the passionate youth kept shouting,” He’s my rock, He’s my rock, yes Jesus is my rock!” It was a catchy hook, And the upbeat tempo had the kids bouncing around like kangaroos on the basketball court in this poor community on the outskirts of Manila.
We hope you enjoy it and build your life on the true cornerstone—Jesus Christ—the only true foundation!

Hes My Rock
(SONG LYRICS)
Capstone, capstone
He is the head cornerstone, yes
Capstone, capstone
He is the head cornerstone
CHORUS:
My rock, Hes my rock
Yes, Jesus is my rock
Yes He’s my rock, He’s my rock
Yes King Jesus is my rock
Cause a fool he builds his
house on sand
It may look cool but it will not stand
But a wise man built his
house on the rock
When trials come it will stay locked to the rock
(CHORUS)
Sing Chorus:
The stone that they refused is the head cornerstone (2X)
(CHORUS)
Higher than high (3x)
He is the one that is
Higher than high (2X)
Jesus is my rock!
Way
He’s the only way (2X)
I will enter His gates with thanks &
I will enter His courts with praise, yes
For the Lord He is my fortress
And He is my Rock of Ages
For the stone that the builders refused
Became the head cornerstone, yes
The stone that the builders refused Is the most important one
(CHORUS)
(Higher)
(Way)
(Sing Chorus)
So will you build your house upon the sand?
It may be grand but you will not stand
Or will you build your life upon the rock?
So when trials come you will stay locked then pray
Pray to Yahweh, listen to God and then obey
Then read, read every day
A chapter a day keeps the devil away
Attend, yes attend church
Go to church because it works &
Yield, to the Holy Spirit
Put God first I want you to hear it
Share, go share your faith
Tell everyone that Jesus saves yes
Share, go share your faith the world will never be the same
(CHORUS 2X)
(Way)")

From vinyl crackle to cassette hiss, there’s something about the vintage sound of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s that keeps calling me back. This reggae anthem was born after a Waikiki surf session, inspired by classic tunes drifting through the air.
Lo-fi sound may stir our souls, but what we need most is a hi-fi life—faithful, devoted, and true to Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:27).
Featuring my good friend Jah Pickney, this track is filled with nostalgic reggae references and real instruments, but at its core it’s a call to live fully for our Savior.
Even if you love the lo-fi sound, may this remind you: you are called to a hi-fi life in Christ.
This song is from Christafaris Sounds of Salvation album (2025)

SONG LYRICS:
Lo-fi sound with a hi-fi life
A station with no hesitation, no compromise
Lo-fi sound with a hi-fi life…
Me say we rising
Up to the top—rising
Mi tell ya say we rising
Up to di top—Mount Zion
Give me the lo-fi sound with a hi-fi life
High fidelity with everything a fi mi vibe
Mi talking lo-fi sound with a hi-fi life
Mind-station with no hesitation, no compromise
Di lo-fi sound—mi want di lo-fi sound
Lo-fi sound, good music coming ’round
Follow me now—lo-fi sound
Mi want di lo-fi sound
Lo-fi sound coming from Zion town
So let’s make a mixtape on an old cassette
With some Earl “Wire” Lindo on the clavinet
Rummage through dusty old record bins
Hear the pops and clicks as the turntable spins
Watch Sunsplash on a VHS
Then play Soul Fire on a compact disc
Through hi-fi speakers that’ll shake the earth
Spinning sweet reggae from before mi birth
Lord, sometimes I feel like I was born too late
Yeah, sometimes I feel I was born too late
But I’m born again
I said I’m born again
Me say we rising
Up to the top—rising
Mi tell ya say we rising
Up to di top—Mount Zion
Reggae rise to the top
This flight’s non-stop
No time to recline—say we launching up
Reggae rise pon di scene
With the ites, gold, and green
Singing fi di true King
And you know Who mi mean
Reggae rise to the top
This flight’s non-stop
No time to recline—say we launching up
Reggae rise from the ground
Singing fi di true crown
Yo take a look around—’cause it’s going down
Pull up, wait a minute
Let’s put the love of Yeshua in it
Pull up, wait a minute
Let’s bring the love of Jesus in it
Yo, sometimes I feel like I was born too late
Skillyababa
Yo, sometimes I feel like I was born too late
But I’m born again
Yeah ee-eh-eh-eh
Thank God I’m born again
Yeah ee-eh-eh-eh
Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa—watch out
We ago mix it lo-fi
But live a life of high fidelity
A vintage style
With lyrics written conscientiously
Above reproach and self-controlled—ah wha we strive fi be
Guarding fiwi doctrine and theology
We ago walk with integrity of heart
And live a life that’s worthy of the calling of we Lord
So we ago read di Word of God
Say we prayers non-stop
And so we ever rising to the top
Me say we rising
Up to the top—rising
Mi tell ya say we rising
Up to di top—Mount Zion
I grew up in the 70s
Back when Soul Train it was on TV
Reggae was king—from another time
So I started to sing back in ’89
Let’s go straight back to di old school
Where Peter and Bob and Bunny ruled
Can you guess where it began first?
Every one a dem was born in di church!
Di lo-fi sound—mi want di lo-fi sound
Lo-fi sound, good music coming ’round
Follow me now—lo-fi sound
Mi want di lo-fi sound
Lo-fi sound coming from Zion town
Me say we rising
Up to the top—rising
Mi tell ya say we rising
Up to di top—Mount Zion
Give me the lo-fi sound with a hi-fi life
High fidelity with everything a fi mi vibe
Mi talking lo-fi sound with a hi-fi life
Mind-station with no hesitation, no compromise
