About Lance Lambert
Lance Lambert was one of the most distinguished Bible scholars and speakers in Israel in our day. He had an itinerant teaching ministry worldwide.
Born in 1931, Lance grew up in Richmond, Surrey and came to know the Lord at twelve years of age. He entered the school of African and Oriental studies at London University to prepare for work in China. In school, he studied Classical Chinese, Mandarin, Oriental Philosophy and Far Eastern History. However, the revolution closed the door to European missionaries and his entry into China.
In the early 1950’s, Lance served in the Royal Air Force in Egypt. Later, he fellowshipped with the assembly at Halford House Christian Fellowship in Richmond, England.
Having discovered his Jewish ancestry, Lance became an Israeli citizen in 1980. He had his home next to the Old City of Jerusalem. His father and many members of his family died in the Holocaust. At last, Lance went to be with the Lord in 2015.
Lance is noted for his eschatological views, which place him in the tradition of Watchman Nee and T. Austin-Sparks. He produced a widely appreciated quarterly audio recording called the Middle East Update. The MEU gave his unique perspective on current events in the Middle East in the light of God’s Word. He has written numerous books and is presenter of the video production, Jerusalem, the Covenant City.
Lance desired for his ministry to continue to be available to future generations when he went on to be with the Lord. This is our desire as well. We hope to preserve the heart of the Lord shared through Lance. May many more may be encouraged and prepared as we wait together for our Lord’s return!
