A special message from Carman

Dear Friends and Partners,
Right now I am facing the biggest challenge of my life. On Valentines day I was diagnosed with incurable Multiple Myeloma Cancer and given a 3-5 year window of time. In order to put this into remission and be ready for my Spring 2014 tour I must go into chemotherapy right away. I will be under 24/7 medical care for the next 9 months straight.
I’m determined to beat this and see you in concert. In 1976 I went to a Christian concert and heard the gospel set to music and received Christ. Since that time I’ve lead over 1 million people to Christ. Touring is expensive and necessary to bring the gospel where it’s needed the most. I believe there are other Carman’s out there waiting to find Jesus and use their talents for the lord. Maybe its your child, your friend, or maybe even you. With a successful fundraiser we will be coming and lives will be changed for sure.
Over the past 13 years, I recorded many “unreleased” songs. I’m now making those available alongside classic favorites. Plus all the Music and DVD’s will be available for download the moment you purchase them NO WAITING 4-6 WEEKS FOR THE MAIL ANYMORE.
You will have this music and these videos tonight to enjoy. Check out the giving levels below and the samples of the songs too. This will be a tour that will change lives just like this whole experience is changing mine. I’m passing on the blessing.
And in the meantime For 9 months from September to April I’ll be off the road in the fight of my life battling cancer. I’ve pre-recorded weekly video updates on the new CD but will be posting written updates as I’m able. Join me in this 9 month countdown to beat this dreaded disease with daily inspirational words from songs I have written posted on Facebook.
I’ve never needed your support more than I do now. Join the campaign as I’m believing God that at the end of this impossible journey I will stand on 100 stages starting this April and once again be “LIVE Across America!”

Since I no longer really float around in this part of my world anymore I missed his announcement a few months ago that he has incurable cancer and only has a few short years left to live:-( So what is he doing about it? Going out in a big way. Taking the Gospel to as many as he can. Many props and prayers for him. He stood out among many of the, and I hate to say it, lame Christian artists that are out there or where out there back in the late 80’s/early 90’s. He broke the mold and was as top notch as any secular act. Just maybe with a more important message. Crafty and Witty and about twenty years ahead of his time for Christendom he pushed the limits that needed to be pushed in his message and how it was presented. He basically was the head in Entertainment and not the tail.
I still think he hid has “preference” like several others in the christian world and I don’t see what the big deal is anyway if he did. But that’s between him and God. You can’t deny how much good he has done and people’s lives that have been changed and continues to change.
From his facebook page:
“I used to go to movies in the afternoon, now I go see doctors,” he said.
The singer listed three reasons for his post: “First, I want to put an end to all the rumors. Second, I ask for your prayers. And 3rd, I want you all to know that I will continue to minister and win souls until I can’t do it any longer.
“My life has always been about ministry,” he explained. “I have a call of God to touch lives with the gospel of Jesus Christ and that’s what I will do until the Lord calls me home.”
He asked his Facebook followers not to fill his page with cancer treatment remedies, but encouraged them to come see him the next time he’s in their area.
“Bring someone who doesn’t know the Lord or who needs to be healed,” he wrote. “I will always pray for the sick and I’m also going to step up the intensity of my message at these events. I will not leave this world quietly and I want the devil to know that he put cancer on absolutely the wrong Italian.
“I have a few good years and before it’s too late I want to see your faces, shake your hands and hug your necks. But mostly I want to see one of you get healed of what threatens your future and I really want to see someone you love come to Christ. Now lets get back to business, we have to work while it’s day for soon the night comes,”
Anyway..
Enjoy the Videos and remember Carman in your prayers and all the others that need it.
John 3:16
