Battle Cry: Second Report From The Front Lines of John Carter’s Campaign

SUPER UPDATE — SIGNS & WONDERS

2,850 SOULS IN FIRST BAPTISM!

An army of born-again souls marched into the sea at Ela Beach, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, publicly confessing Christ as Lord. Fifty pastors waited for them as John Carter stood on the back of a truck perched precariously on an outcrop of rock overlooking the ocean. As Pastor Carter raised his right arm, 50 ministerial arms were raised as the pastors baptized the new believers in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Tens of thousands witnessed the remarkable event from the beach and surrounding hillsides. Tony Kemo, president of Central Papua Conference said, “We have opened a new chapter in the history of the nation.”

AMAZING CROWDS, AMAZING POWER

We give glory to God! Never have we seen crowds like this. Starting with around 70,000 souls, the audience grew night by night as the name of Christ was magnified. Soon 100,000 souls were crowding the stadium and the area around it. So great was the interest that a side meeting was started with the preaching thrown on a third screen by a giant projector. President Tony Kemo declared after one session, “Tonight we had 120,000 souls with us in attendance.” Leaving the stadium was a challenge as the roads were blocked for miles. Thousands of pedestrians thronged the sidewalks while trucks transported capacity loads of excited humanity.

Jesus said, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” Luke 5:4

A SIGN FROM ABOVE

On Thursday night, John Carter preached to a multitude on the “Unpardonable Sin.” This powerful topic explains the work of the Holy Spirit, the Heavenly Dove, who is the regenerating agent in the salvation of lost souls. As the evangelist invited the Holy Spirit to take over the meeting, an amazing event occurred, as many later testified. A huge white dove flew low over the audience. Two nights later, with 120,000 plus souls in attendance, the great white bird returned. Gasps and cries of joy filled the air as the great multitude rejoiced that God had visited His people.

IT’S TOO DANGEROUS TO GO

So said the Australian government. It was election time in Papua New Guinea and riots and bloodshed were expected. Blood had flowed at the previous election and it did not look good when the police barred us from the outdoor stadium when we arrived for the setup. They told us, “It’s not safe. You can’t go in. There have just been riots and you could be injured or even killed.” But after a day’s wait, our team did get in and went into action. When the meetings got underway, the restraining power of the Holy Spirit took over, not only the stadium but, the whole city. An amazing peace prevailed, and the counting of the votes proceeded without a murmur of dissent. The whole nation held its breath, but not a drop of blood was shed. The preaching of the Gospel of peace brought peace to Papua New Guinea when political pundits had predicted the very opposite. “To God be the glory, great things HE has done.”

GOVERNMENT LEADERS REQUEST PRAYER FOR GOD’S BLESSING

Twelve government parliamentarians, newly elected, came to The Carter Report meetings with the request, “Pray for us.” Pastor Carter and leaders of the Papua New Guinea Church laid hands on the heads of these supplicants, and besought God to bless them as they pledged to obey the holy laws of God.

THOUSANDS MORE REQUEST BAPTISM

During the massive altar call at the final Saturday night meeting, another 3,000 souls requested baptism. Pastor Carter asked the people to raise their hands if they had been baptized that morning and some 2,850 hands were raised. He then asked how many others wanted to confess Christ in baptism and 3,000 hands were raised as the Holy Spirit powerfully bore witness to His Word.

The victory in Port Moresby was glorious but the battle goes on. Support real evangelism by helping us to raise $300,000.00 for follow-up.

“TO GOD BE THE GLORY, GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE.”

MORE THAN WONDERFUL

On the final Saturday night when the giant dove returned and was seen by the great congregation, the mighty life giving Spirit of God was present. John Carter preached with the anointing of Heaven and later testified that he felt the mantle of God’s power fall upon him. As he gave the altar call, inviting the lost to come to Christ and be baptized, a dam of Pentecostal power seemed to burst. The people, once slow to move, poured like a overflowing stream down the front. At least 10,000 souls packed into the area around the stage, while tens of thousands, unable to move, raised hands in prayer. Pastor Harold Harker said, “In more than 50 years of ministry, I have never seen anything like this.” Pastor Tony Kemo was invited by the evangelist to join him on the giant stage and confessed, “This is a modern day Pentecost. Praise God.”

The carnal heart says, “Seeing is believing.” Jesus says, “Believing is seeing.” See John 11:40

PRIME MINISTER AND HIS MINISTERS OF STATE MEET WITH EVANGELIST

Just before leaving Port Moresby, John Carter met with The Honorable Peter O’ Neill, Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea and his team of Cabinet members. Pastor Carter was received as an honored guest and after a time of conversation, prayed for the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, and members of the Cabinet. The campaign touched not only the lives of those attending the meetings, but its influence was nationwide. The Prime Minister said, “You have blessed the whole nation. Thank you so much for coming.”

WHAT NEXT?

Lives changed, evil forces beaten back, the faith of thousands restored, sinners converted, a nation shaken, lawlessness restrained, and Christ glorified! We stand in awe, and shout from the housetops, “Thy right hand, O Lord, hath gotten us the victory.”

WHAT GOD HATH WROUGHT!

The whole series in the Sir John Guise Stadium was televised by our TV crew from the U.S.A. We now need to edit this Holy Spirit anointed series of truth packed messages, and get them on television right across the entire nation of Papua New Guinea. This is of vital importance. We must follow up what God has started. We now need faith partners who will help us raise $300,000.00 for this nation changing project.
