As a teenager and part of a church youth group, Carmen certainly impacted us in 1986 and 1987. We couldn't get enough of him and used his music to reach to other teenagers and present the Gospel. We loved him and thank him for his ministry. God bless brother!
Carman was one of the very few musicians that David Wilkerson gave his personal seal of approval. Look up David Wilkerson, and you'll know what his opinion and praise were worth.
I saw Carmen at the Burbank Equestrian Center with several other Christian singers, but Carmen was the headliner for the whole event. It was so much fun to go and see him. I would have loved to have met him. I’m still alive by the grace of God because I’ve survived a stroke, sepsis and so far cancer. In June it will be 5 years cancer free. But every day that you wake up too is a gift from God. Thank him for every new day that you wake up too.
"Shine Through Me" has to be the most impactful song of Carman for me. I love all his music but that one touched my soul deeply. Many times over the years I would dream that song & wake up crying as I felt God's Presence on me. I will never forget you Carman. Thank you man
I knew very few of his highly dramatic songs not until his death that I've listened to his many other worship and evangelistic songs. "Be the light of Jesus to the world" has stuck in my mind. A truly great soul who gave it all for the gospel.
Thank you for sharing this story. Having worked with him personally from 1980-2000, I can tell you that he was a visionary and trendsetter in so many ways. We did over 1000 concerts together, including Texas Stadium and every one of them saw many people give their lives to Jesus. It was a time I will never forget! RIP Carman, I'll see you later!
I loved all of Carman songs. Even though he's gone I'm listening to them every single night. Oh Carmen will miss you but you're in a better place thank you for all the music thank you for the gospel and thank you for bringing people to Jesus your job is done rest in peace
I love Carman he was a Blessing from God I took all my teenagers to all his concerts in Tallahassee Florida during the 90's I know he is getting his award from JESUS and no matter what God will continue to use his music to lead people to Jesus
One of his many songs but this one in particular titled "The River". This song helped me through some difficult times I was going through during my teenage years. Thank you, Carman for your music and talent you shared with many!!! May you rest in peace. You are greatly missed, you may be gone but your legacy remains in our hearts!!!
I can sing to nearly every song this guy put out there. 45 now, but cds are still in my case wherever I go. Met him at concert 2 years before he passed. He's always been my hero. "Boo boots" will never come back again.
Champion was one of my favorites. We did a skit in youth group with the “Champion”…it had a great impact on the teens….Carmen touched millions of lives!
I'm on a mission mission 3:16 and I am radically saved. Thank you Father God for giving us the gift of your child Carmen and we look forward to worshiping you with him in your house in Jesus name
Carman was my first favorite christian artist that I had seen on TBN in the early 90's since I was 5 years old. His music was very intresting and addictive. One of my favorites was, Addicted 2 Jesus, Our Turn Now, Serve The Lord, and so many more to name a few. Carman was one of a kind and a genius. I will truly miss him.
Fear not my child is my all time fav song of carmans. He will be missed by all that ever seen him as to attend his concerts really grabbed your heart strings RIP dear Carman
The champion changed my life to where I believed in christ and started to understand what it really meant to be a Christian. I may not go to church all the time but I know I always have Christian with me as I try to help others.
Oh my gosh, I saw Carman 4 times in concert! I can't believe he is gone! His brother also passed a few years ago! At least he is home now, and in the arms of Jesus! We love and miss you Carman!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Had so many of his albums and even got to see him in Minneapolis at the Target Center his concerts were free talk about stepping out in faith. Really inspired me and I listen to him to this day. He will be missed, big impact on my life. the only hope for america is Jesus that song rings so true today. The People of God, Witches invitation, a true pioneer for Christ.
I had the privialge of meeting CARMAN 2 months after he left the hospital in San Antonio, TX (June 21, 2014) the song that changed my life was Witch's Invitation.
" Its Time To Praise The Lord". And "THE CHAMPION" Each song he did seemed better than the last, ergo, this was, in my mind, one of the 2- best songs. I Am Sure, that's what He's doing now, in heaven. It will be Interesting, in Heaven, to come, Carman AND Kirk Franklin, TOGETHER!, In Some Decades, From Now.... Whoo-Eee! I am Looking Forward to Seeing THAT SHOW ! ("Satan...Bite The Dust!") Sgt Tim, DC

A wonderful memory, Derek, thanks for sharing with us!
Carman is the reason that I am in Christian music today. My best blessing was the souls that were saved during his concerts. Now that is a legacy.
Carman was one of the very few musicians that David Wilkerson gave his personal seal of approval. Look up David Wilkerson, and you'll know what his opinion and praise were worth.
Love- love - love Carman! My favorite Christian musician ever! There is no one out there like him now!
Always loved how Carman sang, "I Feel Jesus". Rest with God, Carman.
Sunday School Rock! Who's in the House? The Champion! We Need God in America Again!

At a loss..listened to him in my teens. Praise God for using this man to spread the Gospel.
His songs still speak to me! This Blood and The Champion are among my favorites! Thank you for your ministry. Rest in peace, Carman.
This Blood should have been featured in the closing credits of Passion of the Christ.

So many people found Jesus through those concerts and events, it's amazing to think about that impact.

Thank you, Carman for your music and talent you shared with many!!! May you rest in peace. You are greatly missed, you may be gone but your legacy remains in our hearts!!!
HEARTBROKEN , HE is with the LORD now, He came to my church in Milford
Connecticut in March 23 2006 😥
As great as his music and talent was, it was his heart to evangelize and glorify Christ is what really stands out most.
I can sing to nearly every song this guy put out there. 45 now, but cds are still in my case wherever I go. Met him at concert 2 years before he passed. He's always been my hero. "Boo boots" will never come back again.

The champion changed my life to where I believed in christ and started to understand what it really meant to be a Christian. I may not go to church all the time but I know I always have Christian with me as I try to help others.
Two of my favorites Carmen songs save delivered and healed and hunger for holiness

Great God was probably the song I loved the most. Growing up I think that was the song I listened to all the time. He will be greatly missed. ❤️

Grew up listening to his music as a young Christian
Why did I not hear about this until now😭😭😭 Thank you Jesus for his ministry.
So he survived cancer, but couldn't servive the doctor's. How horrible. Love Carman. I am so sad about this 😭.
RIOT..was my champion song..it encorgaged me to stay strong in Christ no matter what was going on around me..
The Champion and Prepare to Die both really rocked my world. It helped me as I grew up battling health issues.
The Champion and America again are my favorites. RIP Carman

The Champion was my favorite song. By Carmen
The Champion
I still sing Pharaoh Pharaoh let my people go, from one of his concerts
" Its Time To Praise The Lord". And "THE CHAMPION" Each song he did seemed better than the last, ergo, this was, in my mind, one of the 2- best songs. I Am Sure, that's what He's doing now, in heaven. It will be Interesting, in Heaven, to come, Carman AND Kirk Franklin, TOGETHER!, In Some Decades, From Now.... Whoo-Eee!
I am Looking Forward to Seeing THAT SHOW !
