Christian gospel pioneer Carman Licciardello had several announcements for his fans this week including a world tour and a news making update.

"I DONT KNOW HOW BUT, WE MADE THE NEWS : After taking a pole of last years concert searches, itickets released this statement: 'CARMAN is the #1 searched for artist on www.iTickets.com (from 2014)'" he posted on Facebook. "That's pretty amazing when you think about all the artists folks could search for like Toby Mac, 3rd Day, Jeremy Camp, Hillsong, Jesus Culture, Switchfoot, Bethel Music ect. So many major events have been on sale but with Carman, there's truly staying power, momentum and he has the most loyal fanbase!"

Carman was encouraged by the news and thanked the fans for all of their support because without them, it would not have been possible.

"This is why I feel so committed to giving you the best I possibly can. You have supported me, prayed me through cancer, given in the kickstarter campaign and as a group, resurrected this ministry. I want to give you better production, more salvations, stay healthy. Help you stay healthy and make the best music for the kingdom that I possibly can."

He continued, "My Facebook family. I offer you a heartfelt thank you and I love you. So please, bring an unsaved loved one to a concert - As God inhabits the praises of his people, the Holy Spirit draws the lost to Jesus. Can I hear an Amen?"

Carman also announced a new Kickstarter campaign will be launched on May 1 for upcoming album History of Worship Part 1. From there, a world tour will follow.
