Jamie Carnley
Jamie Carnley is The Sound Engineer for Forever Changed. He has the hardest job of them all. Jamie is also a Musician and Pastor of a local church. Jamie love’s doing ministry whether it is playing music, preaching, praying or any other avenues that the ministry will take him down. Jamie is often asked, “When did you decide to become a minister, and eventually a Pastor?” People often don’t understand when I say, “it was not my chosen profession…the Lord called me to this work.” The Hebrew writer said, “…no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God…” he just wants to be a willing vessel, an immovable mouthpiece for the Lord. His vision and Drive for Forever Changed is that many lives will continue to be transformed, souls saved, and set free in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
