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, 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 thirty 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.
Wanting to be an instrument in the hands of God, Bishop Lambert desired to study the Word of God in order to give the Lord an instrument that would be able to take the Word of the Lord wherever the Lord desired.

After attending classes at the Center for Urban Theological Studies, Bishop Lambert completed his Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Liberty University.

Realizing 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.
A man of vision, recognizing that media communication is a key thread to the expansion of the Kingdom of God, Bishop Lambert seeks to proclaim the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ through several media outlets. 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.
