Planting new churches, Managing conflict risks
While serving as Senior Pastor of Chinese Gospel Churches in Toronto, Rev. Lam led the church to launch the planting of two churches: (1) Agape Gospel Church (1989), and (2) Grace Chinese Gospel Church of North York (1990). Then, in order to grow and widen his Biblical counselling ministry outreach into various communities, Rev. Lam planted a 3rd church in the city of Scarborough in 1992 which is called Faith Community Bible Church. In total, Rev. Lam led the launch of planting 3 new churches. In addition, while serving as Senior Pastor at Grace Gospel Church in Manila, Philippines, he started the English Congregation and ministry (1981). And while in Toronto, serving as the Senior Pastor of Chinese Gospel Church in Toronto, he started the Mandarin Congregation and ministry in the downtown main church (1990). In 2013, Rev. and Mrs. Lam received an invitation to attend the 50th Anniversary celebration of Chinese Gospel Church in Toronto and to share his vision of church planting during the time when he was the Senior Pastor of the church. Going into communities to bring souls to Christ and planting new churches is the calling of a pastor. Helping people to resolve conflicts in marriage, family, and church in order to live in harmony is important in pastoral shepherding. Rev. Lam recommends the combined use of three methods in helping people resolve conflicts. The three methods are Biblical counselling, Biblical mediation, and Biblical arbitration. Such combination of the three methods provides options, flexibility, better result, and enable better risk management. The critical step of any church planting is the building and training of the launch team. Rev. Lam welcomes churches in the planning stage of church planting, in the early stage of actual church planting, or churches which plan to expand its ministry after the pandemic to contact him for church planting consulting partnership.
