About Howard Carter

Howard Carter, was a pioneer in the Pentecostal Christian faith. He was born in Birmingham, England. He took over England's first Pentecostal Bible School. In 1913 an organization called the Crown Mission began in the city, and shortly afterwards Carter became the leader of this group. By 1916 he became involved in a second Pentecostal work, and had to quit his regular work to maintain leadership of the two churches. Howard Carter later became a founding member of Assemblies of God in Great Britain and Ireland. He served on the General Council of these groups as vice-chairman 1929-1934, and as chairman 1934-1945. Carter spent the rest of his life in the U.S., and began to travel extensively as a preacher until his death in Springfield, Missouri, in 1971.
