Carlos Eduardo Concepcion Jr was born on February 6, 1990 at Saint Mary of Nazareth in Chicago Illinois. He is the second in a family of five; Anarelys, Brandon, Misael, and Eliezer. His parents are Carlos and Nancy Concepcion. Carlos comes from a big family in which serving God and the love of music has been rooted deep down throughout our generations. From a young age Carlos had the desire to learn how to play music and sing, and a passion for the things of the Lord. Carlos learned this early as a child when one night he had a dream. In this dream a giant bible opened up in front of him and he found himself preaching in front of lots and lots of people.

 

During his high school years his relationship with the Lord became more defined and he understood the calling God had for his life, but it was also during these years that his faith in God was tested. One day without any notice he started to feel a strong pain on his side, he was getting ready to go on the road with the choir from his local church and there was no way he could stay behind. He wasn't able to play much that night and the next day was rushed to the emergency room where the doctors performed an emergency appendectomy. The doctors told him: "Someone must be watching over you, you should've been dead by now". It was a difficult time but he came out of it stronger and more determined not to give up.

 

After this experience he began to preach and sing locally and soon after that he started to go further out into different cities, states and even out of the country. He enrolled in ITAIC (Theology School) and after 3 years he graduated. Carlos is a worshipper and when he grabs a microphone his love and knowledge of music and the commitment for the Lord shines through.

 

In the year 2008, Carlos Concepcion Jr met the young lady whom he was sure God had set apart for him. While preaching in different churches throughout the East coast, he attended a convention in New York where he met Ana M. Ocasio. They became great friends and presented before the Lord the decisions of their future. After some times of trials and testimonies, November 14, 2010, Carlos and Ana united in matrimony. Together they minister to the youth, pastors, leaders, and congregations around the USA and even the world, demonstrating that age is just a number and anyone that places their lives in the Master's hands can be utilized for His glory.

 

Life became that much more meaningful when on July 25, 2011, Aniyah Victoria Concepcion made her introduction into the lives of Carlos and Ana Concepcion. She has, in their words, "robbed our hearts" and "is the love of their life."

 

On August 28, 2012, another gift from God was given to the Concepcion household. Amaliah Grace Concepcion made her entrance into the lives of Ana, Carlos and Aniyah and has since been a blessing for their house.

 

Carlos Concepcion Jr., has traveled to various places to minister, like: Wisconsin, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Florida, Puerto Rico, Texas, California, Mexico, Alabama, Ohio, North Carolina, and Virginia with a word of healing, salvation, and restoration, "What was once a dream…" says Carlos, "is now becoming a reality. But, this is only a part of what He is doing with me. I have a passion to know Him and a desire to project Him.
