Nearly all of the recordings on this website were never copied or released to the public before being given to Brother Mel, and are available nowhere else. The process of tracking down recordings, obtaining permission to host them, editing out background noise, and payng for the bandwidth necessary to offer them to the world for free is very expensive.

| Recording Description: This recording was made at the Goodwins' church, First Assembly of God, Pasadena, Texas in 1964. It begins with two messages in tongues coming from the congregation, and two messages in tongues from Sister Goodwin. Brother Goodwin interprets the messages. Next, Mrs. Howard Carter gives a testimony to God's faithfulness, and comments on recent world events which concur with end-time events and Bible prophecy.
Dad then introduces Howard Carter.
Brother Carter preaches a message drawn from Luke 7:11-15, concerning Christ raising the widow's son from the dead. The message comes from a man alive with the fire of the Holy Spirit. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................. | Howard Carter's Story:
Born in England in 1891, Brother Carter was born again in 1909, and filled with the Spirit in 1915. He grew in the things of the Spirit and began ministering to others. When World War I broke out against England, as a minister of the Gospel, he did not feel that he could take up arms against others. Since England did not recognize the Pentecostal faith as a legitimate denomination or Christian organization, Carter could not be recognized as a minister for "concientious objector" status. So Howard Carter was thrown into prison. His head was shaved, he was dressed in rough prison garb, and fed bread and water. And so he remained throughout the war years.
Prison was a difficult test and trial, but rather than causing him to lose faith in God, it drove him closer to God. And God honored Carter's convictions, by visiting him in prison. God began revealing to Carter deep truths concerning the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Up to this time, many believed for instance, that the Word of Knowledge, was exemplified by the knowledge possessed by college professors. They believed that the Gifts of Healings were fulfilled by medical doctors. But God showed Brother Carter that the gifts were all supernatural, not natural, gifts. And He revealed to Carter the teaching outline of dividing the nine gifts into the three categories of Revelation, Utterance, and Power.
Carter came forth from prison, with his faith tried and refined like pure gold. He began teaching the truths God showed him, and his teachings have found universal acceptance throughout Charismatic and Pentecostal churches. He helped to found the Assemblies of God in Great Brittain. He chaired national conventions at which his friend, Smith Wigglesworth, preached. He took a young Lester Sumrall under his wing, and travelled the world with Sumrall. Carter taught on the baptism in the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts, while Sumrall preached evangelistic sermons.
I contacted the Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center, which contains the Assemblies of God archives, and asked their curator how many recordings of Howard Carter were known to be in existence. He told me that only two recordings were known to exist, and their center sold copies of them through their book store. To thes two known recordings, the Goodwin Collection adds six more, two of which are on this website now.
