Begging for $1,000,000 From AMTC Grads

First, the idea of what AMTC alleges to do is a wondeful thing. To help people prepare and enter the industry as a way to have a platform to be a Godly example on and off the set for the world to see Jesus is commendable If only that was their only agenda.

They are at it again. AMTC is whining about possibly going out of business in 2018 and asking past participants to DONATE MONEY to them ... the Arbans and Lewis' ... so "Save AMTC." . The Arbans are already wealthy. The cost of the lower end rooms paid for by the performers and their families at the Garlord Palms & Resort in Orlando Florida literally covers the Arbans and other "higher ups in AMTC"s Presidential Suite! was td this by AMTC staff when I worked there. I learned the inside operation. From the amount of money paid to the VIPs (that was pending upon the amount of clout they had in the industry) to the hotel reservations made by the performers also covering the lavish suites of Carey and her family.

The horrible things that Carey and her family would spew about the performers behind their backs (while taking their money) was nothing short of horrific. And then to see her smile at them in the hallway, fake her smile for the pictures taken with them, and most of all, her fake humility and pursuasive speach from stage during the openeing of the event as well as when she leads a scouting event.

AMTC owners and higher up staff members are a lot of things behind the scenes. Even at the even itself behind closed doors. Godly is not one of them. It is the absolute opposite. I am an eye witness.

Here's the latest posts on Facebook from AMTC Grad Group and the responses of some of the past participants that truly think the Arbans care about their life after payments of AMTC and bookings to boost their testimonials.

Full names are not disclosed for their privacy. Just the first name and last initial.

*CALLING ALL AMTC GRADS: PLEASE REACT to this post if you see it and COMMENT BELOW if you have a moment...? <3
Dear, precious AMTC family... I beg you to please pray that God would see fit to continue the AMTC ministry.
My heart aches at the thought of what could be, and I'll do all I can to pray and to give and to spread the word asking others to join in praying and giving, if they are able.
**Please don't take for granted what we have here. <3 If God has used AMTC to bless you in a special way, please post a note of encouragement below that I could pass on to the office? Carey and family could sure use the encouragement and your testimonies right now, if you could share how God has used AMTC in your lives. <3
We are the #AMTCfamily. I truly, deeply believe that if we all could come together, there would be NO stopping us. <3


Laura also posted a digital flyer stating that "AMTC is up against a wall and urging people to donate money to help the "good work AMTC is doing for the entertainment industry"

She does not mention that if they would give up their lavish lifestyle they could afford to TRULY minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ without gimmicks. Then go find regular jobs where they actually do the work and not delegate authority while they reap the benefits.

Here is another begging plea for help to save AMTC:

"AMTC Faces Closure in 2018 -- UNLESS God sends $1,000,000 in Donations"

Yes, you read that correctly. ONE MILLION DOLLARS. The nerve!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are some responses from some AMTC Grads that do not have money, but have been sucked in to believe the Arbans and Lewis' are sincere and truly care about them, and not what the talent of their AMTC participant can do for them (AMTC). Jane and John Doe will be names used to protect the identity of these emotionalized victims of AMTC. Pray for them. They have been duped. God will not be mocked. God is the one closing them down. But not before they are exposed for the vulchers that they are.

Hello! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!
As being recently made aware of the financial situation AMTC is in, I have felt an urge to help out this organization that I love so much. However, my family does not have any extra funds at this time ourselves. All we have to offer is ourselves and our time. That's when an idea came to me.
I am putting it out here to see if there's any interest and possibly something that could be put together.
I would like to put together a benefit show, with all proceeds going to AMTC. I live in Florida, and I have posted this on the Orl. Hub page, but I figured I would post it here as well for anyone that is interested in being a part of it. I figure that if a bunch of AMTC people get together, we can draw in a good crowd. I live in Lake Placid and have the possibility of a venue already. All talents are appreciated and welcome to be a part of it, wether it be singing, dancing, acting, modeling, comedy, or another talent. If this is something you might be interested in helping out with, shoot me a PM.


I feel sorry for every Jane and John Doe that has been duped by AMTC and still believes that Carey and her crew care about their well being.

Proof is in the pudding.

On this very same AMTC Grad Facebook Group, AMTC grads are asking for help or recommendations for finding a place to live in Atlanta, follow up helps, etc. Not a peep from AMTC Staff as a response. Just other AMTC Grads.

The ONLY people AMTC helps after the event are those they can earn more money from or use their name and success to promote AMTC. Those that came to enjoy the "$3500+" experience will never hear from AMTC again. Certainly will not enccourage their VIP contacts to help them.
