October 2011

In Honiara, I saw the mighty hand of God. 35,000 souls in the Solomon Islands’ national soccerstadium is a sight never seen before. They sat without movement or sound, listening and watchingintently. We’re not talking about a church convention for the saints, but a Gospel meeting forpoor, lost sinners. They came by foot, in buses and cars, and on the backs of trucks. They camerespectfully, with a passion to hear the Message of Christ.

The national soccer stadium was available only for10 nights, but God did more in 10 nights than I hadseen Him previously do in 10 months. The greattruths were all preached, sometimes in doublenightly sessions. On the second and final Sabbath,524 blood redeemed souls were baptized by 29pastors in a crocodile infested river. Not far fromwhere we baptized, just last year a man who wentto the aid of his wife was killed by one of these fearfulmonsters. Thousands and thousands watched thisbaptism, and the press heralded the story. Howgreat is our God!

35,000 came to the final Sunday night meeting. ThePrime Minister with his ministers was also present,and raised his hand in response to my appeal to follow Christ and His Truth. A new congregationwas formed, and doubtless many of the 4,000 whoindicated their desire to be baptized and followChrist will become members of this new fellowshipof saved believers.

Let no one tell you that the Gospel has lost any ofits power. I testify to all that the Good News of acrucified, resurrected, and returning Redeemer is stillthe power of God unto salvation to all who believe.

Remember, the Solomon Islanders rescued our soldiers, sailors and airmen during the Second World War.

One night I experienced a strange happening. I was conscious we were in the midst of a greatbattle between Christ and Satan, but nothing could prepare me for the plain sensation of a handplaced on my left shoulder as I preached His Message. I spun around, expecting to see a teammember, but the stage was empty. No human being was there. Was the hand a reminder thatOne greater than earthly or demonic foes was with me?

As the meetings progressed, so the crowds increased. Soon we had 30,000 and then 35,000.Maybe more. The people were a sea of faces as far as I could see. Those who could find noresting place within the soccer field listened on the hill outside the fence. They stood motionless,as though in the presence of a supernatural force. They were. God was there in the person ofthe blessed Holy Spirit.

You, dear friend and supporter of e Carter Report, were with us in spirit in Honiara.Without your gifts and prayers there would have been no crowds, no preaching, no baptisms, no flood of souls surging forward to accept Christ. ank you.

“With God ALL things are possible.”

ATTEMPT GREAT THINGS for GODEXPECT GREAT THINGS from GOD

[5]

It seems to this old warrior of the Cross that it is not the Gospel that haslost its power, but rather we poor members of the Church whose faith is oftenlike a smoldering flax. We need to rekindle the fires that once bathed the Church withthe authority of Heaven. As Moody remarked, “Less dinners, and get after sinners!”

The work in Honiara has just begun. We need you, dear supporter, to let your faith rise to theoccasion. We need to get our meetings on television over there, and the doors have opened forus to do so. We also need to arise and build a Gospel radio station to sound forth the Message. It can and must be done. Now is the time.

Please, please, let us move now. Please help me raise $385,000.00 for the public proclamationof the Gospel of Christ, in the Solomons and right around the world.

We are in the midst of the greatest battle between Christ and Satan, between holy angels andevil demons, and we must now work “before the night comes.” I testify to you: I have seenthe mighty hand of God. I have felt the power of the Lord God of Heaven. I have seen the HolySpirit at work in an extraordinary way. I stand in awe. What I saw, no poor sinner and stumblingpreacher could do. I give glory to God!

Please be my faithful partner. Please pick up your pen. Please write now.

Yours in the Blessed Hope and with grateful thanks,
