GOD is the eternal Creator & Ruler of the Universe. He is the Father of Jesus Christ. He is our Father and will provide for all the needs of our bodies and spirits. He is everywhere.

JESUS CHRIST is the only begotten Son of God and is God. He gave his life as the final perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world. Salvation comes only through Him. He arose from the dead and is alive forevermore. He is King of Kings and is victorious over all evil. He is coming again to take us home to the place He has prepared for us.

THE HOLY SPIRIT is co-equal with the Father and the Son—three persons in the triune God. He is the comforter who dwells in the hearts of all who are saved. He convinces us of the truth.

THE BIBLE is the complete, inerrant, inspired Word of God. It is our owners manual—our guide to show us what we should believe and how we should live. It is for everyone to read so that all have the opportunity to hear God speak truth to their hearts and minds.

Rastafari is one of the titles given to a man named Haile Selassie. He was an Ethiopian Emperor that many claim to be Christ in the second coming or Almighty God himself. Many Rastafarians worship him and use marijuana as a holy sacrament. To most Rastas he is the redemptor and Africa is the promised land (Particularly Ethiopia which is believed to be Zion).

CHRISTAFARI (pronounced Christ-ah- far- eye), is a name whose root is found in three languages; Greek, Latin and Amharic.

• First and most importantly is the Greek language through which God chose to write the New Testament. In this language the name Cristoforos (Christafaros) means "the Christ bearer" and Cristoforoi (Christafaroi) which is plural meaning "a group of people that collectively bear or represent Christ. This is where we get the name "Christopher" from.
  
• Representing the same definition with a closer spelling is the Latin word Christafari.
  
• This name Christafari can also be found in the Ethiopian language Amharic. "Christ" being the Greek word meaning Messiah, the anointed one "Jesus Christ". "Tafari" is the Amharic word for Creator, Almighty, awesome, Father and one who needs to be worshipped. These attributes of Christ are found in John 1:1-3.
  
• Lastly, in modern Greek, the name Christafari means "soldiers for Christ" or "a salvation army".
  

Overall, the name states that Christ is the Creator the awesome Almighty God. He is our loving Father that should be feared and deserves the greatest of worship. This is why we bear His name and choose to represent Him as soldiers for Christ and warriors for His Kingdom.

We are born again non-denominational evangelical Christians. We do not worship Haile Selassie, but pray to whom he prayed, Jesus Christ. We do not believe that the second coming of Christ has taken place yet, but are preparing for it daily. We also do not smoke marijuana.

As for Africa, it is a beautiful place that we absolutely love! Just recently we even had a chance to visit the continent and even voyaged into Ethiopia. Although this country will always hold a special place in my heart, I do not believe that it is Zion. I am anxiously awaiting the day when God creates a New Heaven and a New Earth and we can praise Him in the true New Jerusalem.

I used to be a Rasta. I love Rastas and pray for them often. As you can see there is a significant dividing gap between the Rastafarian beliefs and those of Christafari. However, there is hope! In the past few years many secular reggae artists have been coming to Christ such as Judy Mowatt, LT. Stitchie, Chevelle Franklyn, Carlene Davis, Tommy Cowan. Jr. Miller, Papa San etc...
