City to City

Jason and Orsola Carter are on a mission to spread hope in a world of hopelessness. Travelling from city to city across the UK and Italy, they have recently expanded their reach to France and Germany, proclaiming the life-changing message of the Good News found only in Christ Jesus.

​

Jason’s journey began in 1986 when, at the age of 16, he first stepped out onto the streets to preach. His passion for sharing the message of Jesus Christ is deeply personal—his life was radically transformed by it.

​

He recalls, "In 1977, when I was just seven years old, my parents took me to a tent crusade in my hometown of Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Dick Saunders was the preacher, and he spoke about being ready for Christ's return. Even at that young age, I knew I was a sinner and unprepared. That night, I gave my life to Jesus Christ."

​

Together with his wife, Orsola, Jason shares a deep compassion for the lost and broken. Over the years, they have travelled to India, Nepal, and Mozambique, serving the poor and helping those in need. In 2018, they moved to Italy and began preaching in major cities like Rome, Naples, and Venice. Their vision is to spread the Good News to every city, and their mission extends back home to the UK, where they preach across England, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland.

​

Through their efforts, thousands of leaflets and gospel materials—many of which Jason and Orsola have written and produced themselves—have been distributed, including free copies of Jason's latest book, The Great Delusion. The message of hope, love, and repentance has touched countless lives, leading many to experience profound change.

​

Jason shares one memorable story: “We were in a town once when a man approached us in financial distress—his ATM had swallowed his card, and he couldn’t buy food. I told him I’d pray for him, but he said he needed more than just prayer. I asked if he had faith, and he shared that his foster father, a priest, had sexually abused him. He said he couldn’t forgive him. We prayed together and God moved powerfully in his heart, he asked for a prayer to connect with God and then prayed himself. He forgave his foster father and gave his life to Christ! The transformation was incredible.”

​

Orsola recalls another powerful moment: “I was handing out leaflets when I met a man carrying a bag of knives. He was planning to kill someone. After I shared Christ's love with him, he repented and returned the knives to the store. That day, God stopped a murder and a jail sentence! This is why we go out onto the streets.”

​

Street preaching is not without its challenges. Persecution is part of the journey, as many who encounter the message are deeply convicted or become angry. Jason has faced hostility, with people shouting, swearing, waving fists, and pushing him. But he says, “It’s all worth it. Some say we’re wasting our time, but we’ve seen people saved from suicide. One day, just before I was about to preach, a man approached me. I prayed for him, and a few days later, he came back to tell me that he was going to kill himself that day, but after I prayed for him, he said his whole perspective on life changed. He walked away so grateful.”

​

Countless lives have been touched. One woman, facing pressure from her abusive ex-husband to return to him, met Jason and Orsola at a pivotal moment. She told them, “I knew God led me to meet you today.” She left, empowered to stay away from her abuser.

​

In another instance, a man passing by heard the hymn, “Amazing Grace,” being sung. The line “I once was lost, but now I’m found, was blind but now I see” struck him deeply. Overcome with emotion, he cried out, “I’m f***ing lost.” Jason and a fellow team member immediately reached out, prayed with him, and helped him find his way to a Bible.

​

Jason says, “We will never stop doing what we’re doing. Stories like these—and so many more—compel us to keep going, no matter the cost.”

 

Orsola adds, “There’s only one reason to be alive, and that’s to fulfil the call of Christ: to go and make disciples and heal the brokenhearted.”
