Jonathan Lamb

Jonathan Lamb was converted as a child of five at a mission for children in London. He studied geography and economics at Exeter University and religious studies at Winchester, and then taught at Exeter School before being appointed to the staff of Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship (UCCF).

Jonathan served with UCCF for seven years, first as a regional staff worker for the West and then as head of student ministries for the British universities. He was then appointed to the staff of Belmont Chapel, Exeter, where he was primarily involved in a teaching and evangelistic ministry.

During this time Jonathan also served as East European coordinator for International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES), encouraging the emerging student work in the Communist countries of Europe and the Soviet Union. In 1989 he was appointed as IFES regional secretary for Europe and the former Soviet Union, overseeing a team of staff working across 50 countries. In 2000 he was appointed associate general secretary for IFES, sharing responsibility for the international leadership of the work. He travelled to several continents, engaged in the coordination of IFES work and in teaching and training.

Jonathan is now on the staff of Langham Partnership International. As international director of Langham Preaching he works with national leaders to build local movements committed to Bible exposition and to provide training, resources and support for a new generation of preachers. Langham Preaching is currently collaborating with national initiatives in Uganda, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Central Europe, Argentina, the Caribbean and many other parts of the world.

Jonathan speaks in churches, universities, conventions and training conferences in Europe and around the world. Formerly the chairman of the Keswick Convention in the U.K., he continues to serve on the Keswick Council and the Council of the Evangelical Alliance, speaking at various Keswick events around the world. He also serves on committees engaged in mission, including the East European Literature Advisory Committee, Scripture Union and Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship.

He is the author of several books, including Tough Minds, Tender Hearts (IVP),Be Strong in Weakness (a Crossway Bible Guide on 2 Corinthians), Making Progress in Church Life (Paternoster/Partnership) and Faith in the Face of Conflict (Authentic/Paternoster).
