親愛的華人浸信會同工與領袖們:
我們懷著沉痛的心情,向各位傳達林彬牧師的訃訊。林牧師於10月1日在奧克拉荷馬州塔爾薩市(Tulsa, OK)安息主懷。他是我們所敬愛的忠心牧者、植堂人、導師、異象領袖、摯友、弟兄及基督裡的同工。
林彬牧師長期支持美加華人浸信會聯會事工,曾多年擔任行政委員會的植堂大使,在其領導下,我們在過去二十年間見到眾多華人浸信會教會的建立。
願林師母與家人在這艱難時刻,從賜我們一切安慰的神那裏得著撫慰,又願他們從親友及林牧師在奧克拉荷馬、德州與西南地區事工所觸及之眾人身上汲取愛與支持。願基督——那復活與生命的主——引導他們在哀慟中懷抱盼望。
撰稿時喪禮安排尚未定案,本會在取得相關細節後將公布於本會網站:https://chinesebaptists.org。

Dear Fellow Pastors and Leaders of Chinese Baptist Churches,
It is with great sadness that we bring to you the news of the passing of Rev. Ted Lam, our beloved and faithful Pastor, Church Planter, Mentor, Visionary, Friend, Brother and Fellow Yokefellow in Christ yesterday, October 1, in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Pastor Ted was a great supporter of the ministry of the Chinese Baptist Fellowship of the US and Canada (CBF) having served in the Executive Board as a church planting ambassador for a good number of years which, through his leadership, saw many Chinese Baptist churches planted in the last 20 years.
May Mrs. Jane Lam and her family find solace in the God of All Comfort during these challenging times. May they also draw strength from the love and support of their family, friends and those whom Pastor Ted had touched through his ministry in Oklahoma, Texas and the Southwest. And may Christ who is the resurrection and the life, guide them as they grieve with hope.
At the time of writing, funeral arrangements are not complete as yet, but when details are available, they would be posted on our website, https://chinesebaptists.org
Rev. Jeremy Sin, Executive Director.
Chinese Baptist Fellowship of the US and Canada
