Do You Believe? Carl Cartee Partners with Amazima this Christmas

This Christmas, worship leader Carl Cartee is partnering with Amazima to reach a big goal -- raising $50,000 for our ministry! Carl shares,

Back in the summer I read a book by Bob Goff called Love Does. It had a profound impact on me and it left me asking the question, “What is my love doing?” The book forced me to take a deeper look at how I could escalate the way I loved people and for me it was through my music. I decided to make a record and give all the proceeds to a ministry.  

A Christmas record seemed like fun because I love Christmas music and thought it’s a good gift to share with a ministry. I started making the record and praying for God to send me to the right place to give the proceeds. Weeks later, I was way into the recording process, without a real clear vision of who I was going to partner with. Then, my friend Doug Martin started working for a ministry in Uganda. I heard his excitement about Amazima and the work of Katie Davis. I took note. Could these be my people? 

I kept praying for God to speak clearly about who I could make the record for. Next, a friend returned from Uganda where he had been working with Amazima. He was beside himself with the ministry and all that was happening for the Kingdom in Uganda. I listened for a long time as he passionately told about how God was working through Amazima. The very next day, I saw my buddy Derek. “What are you up to?” I asked. Derek said he was starting to work for Amazima. One of his jobs is to equip people in the US who want to help out Katie Davis and Amazima. It was clear I’d found my people.  

The recording and production costs are paid. So from the first sale, all of the money the record makes will go to Amazima! Here is where my friends come in. I’ve got some audacious goals. I want to give them $50,000. That’s a lot of EP’s I know, but that’s my number and faith has raised a lot more money than that before. So here goes! Will you join me in telling the story about the record and include the new CD in your plans for Christmas giving. Pray with me and join me in letting our love for Christ 'do' something.
