I present to you a letter from my sister Pam:

Carl was one of the founders of what we know today as the Vineyard, he is often referred to as a father of Vineyard worship. It's been many decades since that birthing, all of it in ministry, and all of it with many ups and downs, joys and sorrows. The biggest valley has come with his latest stroke that has left him unable to walk and with great difficulty speaking. Although hisheart's desire is to continue in ministry, the physical challenges have put this desire on a very reluctant hold. 

This hold makes it impossible for Carl to earn a living as he always has, in ministry. The costs of hospitalization, medications and living in a care facility wiped out ALL of his financial resources except for a small social security income.

I know there are many of you who love Carl and have been blessed by his music and ministry. I am asking those who can, to please give a financial blessing.
