In 1974, the voice of the Lord called to Bishop Eric Lambert to feed His lamb and His sheep. Desiring to please the Lord, Bishop Lambert entered into the work of the ministry of the Word of God. The passage of scripture that drove Bishop Lambert’s passion for the Lord was found in Isaiah, “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.” Isaiah 6:8 (KJV)
After serving his spiritual father, Pastor Benjamin Smith at Deliverance Evangelistic Church in Philadelphia, PA, Bishop Lambert was released to plant what is now known as Bethel Deliverance International Church. This ministry started with seven committed believers and a vision to evangelize the world. Now, more than twenty-nine years later, the testament of Bishop Lambert’s life and spiritual legacy can be found amongst his growing membership, over 40 specialized ministries, and planted churches.
Knowing that the call of God would take him to foreign nations, Bishop Lambert began to study foreign languages. He speaks fluent Italian and proficient Russian.
Bishop Lambert desires that Christ be proclaimed throughout the world. Through the daily and weekly television broadcast, “Climbing Higher”, many souls are won to the Kingdom of God. A noted author and prolific writer, Bishop Lambert is the author of three books: “The Reality of Christian Living,” “Ingredients for Prayer,” and “The Kneeling Mind.”
Bishop Lambert serves as the President and Prelate of the Bethel Deliverance International Fellowship of Churches, Inc. Bishop Lambert continues to submit to the will of God and serve the Body of Christ with the goal of bringing glory and honor to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Bishop Lambert is married to Lady Sheila Lambert and they are the proud parents of Shaneena and the godparents of Darius.
