Chris & Lindsey Carter
Country/Region: Japan
Mount Hope Supported Since: 2007
Our names are Chris and Lindsey Carter. We have three children Wesley (born 10/16/02), Adelaide (born 10/03/04), Hudson (born 2/26/07). Both Lindsey and Chris were called to be missionaries as young people.
Lindsey grew up in southern California, but Chris was born and raised in Alaska. God called Lindsey to be a missionary when she was 7 years old on a Missionetts tour of Wycliffe Bible Translators. And, Chris had a vision when he was 17 in which God spoke directly to him, “Chris you are going to be my missionary.” Our mutual calls led us to Springfield, MO where we met and attended college.
A SEASON OF PREPARATION
In preparation for full time missions work, we lived for nearly 3 years in Aberdeen, Scotland where Chris completed his Ph.D. in New Testament studies at the University of Aberdeen. During our first term (2007-2010), we served as missionaries at Asia Pacific Theological Seminary in the Philippines. Our time in the Philippines was very fruitful. Chris had a wonderful ministry teaching New Testament to students from over 25 nations from around Asia Pacific. Some of his students have established the first Assemblies of God Bible Colleges in their countries. Others have become professors while yet others have taken their training into the pulpits of their various countries.
