Martin Lamb grew up on the mission field, in Papua New Guinea, with Ethnos. Since that time, God has continued to burn the passion in his heart for reaching unreached people groups.
After meeting his wife Tammy at Ethnos’s Bible school, EBI, in Jackson, Michigan, they were married in January 1993 and settled down in Southern Ontario. They soon started a family as they waited on the Lord’s leading for their future. It was during this time that the Lord led them to serve with another ministry called Gospel for Asia; helping to support national workers in church planting throughout the Indian subcontinent. After 14 years of serving as Development Director with GFA and seeing much growth in the work, the Lord has led them back to serve with Ethnos Canada to help with public relations and development. This life experience, together with his upbringing on the mission field, has given Martin a great sense of responsibility to challenge the Church here in Canada with the urgent cry of the unreached.
“Tammy and I believe it is our great privilege and responsibility to represent hundreds of unreached people groups that have no opportunity to hear the Gospel unless someone is willing to take it to them. It is our great desire to raise up more labourers for the harvest for Jesus himself said, “The harvest is plentiful but the labourers are few.”
Evangelical Mission of Assistance to Fisherman is working to expand the Gospel to the fishermen and riverside folk of Brazil. EMAF went from a small missionary organization to four organizations (the largest sending ministry 100% Brazilian) and four partner organizations working to reach the second least evangelized people segment in our country. The church planting ministry of EMAF, going on in remote communities of nine states of Brazil, is one of the most encouraging projects we are involved now where we currently mentor Area and Base leader. I have also been involved with the creation of online schools in some coastal fishing communities and also in the Amazon Window.

The vision of TLC is to share the love of Christ in this community. We are seeking to engage the local community in ways that are both practical and relevant, to be good neighbours and friends. We want to make a difference in tangible ways wherever we are – sharing God’s love in word and deed.
The missions strategy of TLC is based upon the scriptural conviction that God’s plan for reaching the world is through the local church. It is the local church that is the primary means of sending people to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to every person throughout the entire world. We believe that the local church is the sending agent and that mission boards, or committees, are the facilitating agents to reach the world.
Our missionaries and global partners serve as an extension of the body of True Life Church, making an impact in our country and around the world. The role of TLC in this great worldwide ministry is to help in effectively equipping missionaries for life and ministry, and then to send them out with sufficient resources and encouragement for their task.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
We believe that the Biblical mandate given to the local church by Christ is to evangelize the world. Following after the admonition given by Christ in Matthew 28:19-20, we are to go into all of the earth, starting with our Jerusalem (Quispamsis), Judea (New Brunswick), Samaria (North America), and the uttermost parts of the earth (the world) and teach all nations about Christ’s substitutionary death for them, through every Biblical means possible. After they receive Christ, we are to baptize them and teach them to be obedient to Christ in living according to Biblical (not cultural) principles in the establishment of local, national, indigenous, and autonomous (self-governing, self-propagating, self-financing) churches. We are then to encourage and help to develop local pastors to build up these churches in the Lord with the purpose that they would, in turn, reproduce other bodies of believers.
This is done through the process of sending forth authorized personnel (missionaries) beyond the walls of TLC to the world around us (with an emphasis, but not exclusively, on crossing geographical, cultural, and linguistic barriers), to areas of the world where Christ is largely, if not entirely, unknown.
The role of TLC in this process is to pray for, identify, confirm, and send out those whom God is calling, help in effectively equipping them for life and ministry, and then send them out with sufficient, personal, loving, and accountable relationships with our missionaries and with their ministries.
