so many people still need foods, home, especially to hear the news about Jesus and to receive Him as a Saviour. So, I hope so many people will be touched by this song, and when we still have the time to help others, this is the time. Hi, sister, thank for the beautiful song. God Bless you. This is the voice of Indonesia.

Earlier today, I fell asleep watching tv on my couch. I was having a dream about this cool, really touching reggae video (this video) on youtube. I loved it so much, Idecided to watch it again.(Keep in mind,I've never heard of this artist nor do I listen to reggae.)Then I woke up on my couch... and this video was on!

"You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot. You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven." Matt 5,13-16

[@ronvstutzman6326]

My new fav. God inspired I’m sure. Praise the name of JESUS.

[@isabelfreeman2702]

There is Message in this music. Halleluyah

[@gretscher]

I just bought her Third World Girl album and am enjoying it. Of course I want the album with Yeshua but they did not have it. I got it at a local CD store. I'll check on Amazon. I do a lot on Amazon. She is a talented singer and recording artist. I get into secular music but the more I hear praise music the less I listen to secular because secular might have good music but when I hear good music like Avion's and Christafari and the praising of Jesus I really get into it. Great work Avion!

[@isaiah1corinthians598]

To Avion Blackman, a believing Artist From Dimitris, a believing, desiring Artist, worker for Him with strongholds. I love you, really, you & Mark, Christafari band members, I love your music & Christafari's, that is all I listen to lately & probably will for the rest of my life because of the lyrics, melody & real people you are. I like the style of & the sound, melody, lyrics of your music. They as meaningful as you are & real. I feel for the blind member, I really want to pray for him in person to see him healed physically & inside. I wish someone like all you would have adopted me as you adopted 1 blind band member. I pray to Jesus Christ to adopt me in a band like yours so I can glorify Him on earth now & forever with music ….. This video & song is very sad, heartbreaking. It touched my heart to tears & I feel this is how life should be on Earth amongst every human, mostly so with Christians or fallen people, non-believers.. included, people Christ helped. I experienced a car accident like this & the person who hit me was in this state as well but not so much blood. He was intoxicated speeding. His car was crushed, deformed, shattered glass after the accident & I had only little neck strain & my parents' car only had little damage from the outside but their car was too old to be insured to cover the damages. It was miracle I was not paralyzed & am alive. Glory to Jesus Christ my Savior. The car hit me at my doorside, near me. Angels, my Savior, God Almighty...saved me in other situations many times in a Shelter I was nearly stabbed by a Shelter visitor in my dorm who wanted to stick a needle in his arm & he shut & blocked the Dorm door inside so I would not escape, leave the Dorm with both of us in there. I prayed to Jesus Christ to save me out of there & the anxious dorm visitor then got out of the way let me out. Christ...also saved me from being hit as a pedestrian by cars in my life many times. I want to serve Christ somehow but I do not know how. I am restarting my life with Him & I will be studying the New Test.... I have always wanted to become a singer, musician, artist but these strongholds are in the way for decades. I have been unemployed with many multilingual & Floral Design skills with much people experience. I have been suffering with Low Self-Worth & Low Self-Esteem since I was a child. I will go wherever my Savior sends me in this world I just want out of cold Canada forever or for at least 7 months a year. I need deliverance & a Testimony. The Word says we have defeated Satan with the Blood of the Lamb & with the word of our testimony. I don't know if I am saved, SCARY. I don't have a complete testimony. Jesus Christ save me, deliver me, heal me, restore me & use me for your glory, please, so I can be with you in Eternity & so people can marvel at your work upon me & therefore believe in you & be saved. Amen.

ESSA BANDA E MUITO BOA OHO GLORRIA!!!

[@SunshinePaleMoon]

Thanx for letting me be a part :)

[@gretscher]

Avion I believe is from Trinidad originally. I take it Mark Mohr is from So Cal but not sure where the rest of the band is from. I do notice a lot of their vids are filmed in the So Cal area. I always think of them as being from the Caribbean and that they would be making videos in the islands but often their vids are from the LA area. That's fine of course but in my mind I think islands and tropical scenery. So does this mean they are LA based?

[@zeyardali6885]
