Meet Marc Vidito
Raised in both the church and Messianic Jewish spheres, Marc had a tumultuous relationship with God and the world around him until he came to a life-changing conclusion in 1992.
The cosmos, the lily, the functions of the eye could not be the product of happenstance. They were designed.
Only the God of the Tenach (the Jewish Scriptures) made prophecies in early texts that were later fulfilled in history and verified by archaeological and archival findings.
Only Yeshua (Jesus) fulfilled the Jewish prophecies that had to be fulfilled before the destruction of the second Temple in 70 C.E.
If there is a creator, He had to be the Judeo-Christian God and Yeshua had to be the promised Messiah.
This conclusion set the course for the rest of his life. Marc had to follow this most probable truth and had to do so in a holistically biblical context.
Writer Worshipper Mentor
Marc has been in ministry since 1995 serving the Young Messianic Jewish Alliance as conference planner, worship ministry coordinator, worship leader, percussionist, speaker, and youth mentor. He has co-led worship and the high school youth ministry with his bride, Dara, at Congregation Beth Hallel in Roswell, GA since 2002. He founded Meuchad: Messianic Worshippers United where he served as ministry director and continues to serve as senior advisor.
Marc has a long history and rich legacy in Messianic Jewish music. He has toured with legends Paul Wilbur and Joel Chernoff and accompanied Misha Goetz and Joshua Aaron. He has appeared on over 10 albums including Kathy Shooster’s “Face to Face”, Kol Simcha’s “Shomer Yisrael”, and HaShir’s entire discography of whom he is a founding member (with wife, Dara, and close friend Damian “D-Rock” Caracelo) songwriter, percussionist, producer, and vocalist. His most recent works are the beautiful and rich liturgical album, “Atonement” and “Songs of the Rabbi” with dear friend, Ted Pearce.
He is a freelance author and speaker. He has published articles for the Messianic Times, blogs with Meuchad, and writes the core curriculum and monthly devotionals for Beth Hallel’s Chavurah Home Fellowship and Woodstock City Church’s Parent Connect support group.
Marc is a freelance voiceover artist. He has done some commercial work. However, his biggest blessing has been to be the voice of the TLV, recording the audio version of the Tree of Life Version of the complete Bible.
Marc has also been in education since 2000 and has a passion to help each young person find and reach their God-given potential regardless of physical, social, or emotional obstacles.
Marc is the Kosher DJ, offering good clean fun for any occasion. He specializes in Bar and Bat Mitzvahs and weddings.
Marc is an avid Star Wars fan and has even written two pieces of fanfiction that can be found on Deviant Art. “Orym Fett: The Fires of Hoth” and “White was the Night” are his love letters to the Star Wars fandom community. He is also a champion of graphic literature (comic books) and a serious jazzhead! His musical hero is John Coltrane.
Marc resides in Marietta, GA with the lights of his life, wife Dara, and two children, Tova and Shira Chai. The world could fall away. If he had them, he’d be a happy man!
