Lincoln Badger is the Ministry Leader of Ambassadors for Christ International-New Zealand. He is an itinerant Bible preacher, lecturer, and evangelist. Lincoln and Rhonda are based in Cambridge, New Zealand, and have three married children, and one grandchild.
Lincoln and Rhonda are from a dairy farming background. During 1989 the Badgers moved to South Carolina in the United States to pursue a biblical education from Columbia Bible College and Seminary (now Columbia International University; CIU). Lincoln received his BA in General Ministries, and MA in English Bible. The Badgers returned to Columbia during 2000, and Lincoln has since received a M.Div (equivalence) and D.Min degree in Leadership Development.
Lincoln taught evangelism at CIU for two years before joining Ambassadors for Christ International (AFCI-USA) as an itinerate evangelist and National Director of LifeWorks, an AFCI evangelistic ministry geared for the post-modern mindset. Lincoln also worked for two years as an interim Pastor in Atlanta, Georgia. During 2005 the Badgers returned to New Zealand to work with AFCI.
Lincoln’s ministry is built around the AFCI motto: revival in the church, evangelism through the church, training for the church, worldwide. He is committed to the principle that spiritual revival in the church is prerequisite to evangelism and world missions as an outflow of the church. Lincoln is burdened to call the church back to a foundation of prayer, and is passionate about the message of “victory in Christ.” Lincoln preaches and teaches at conferences, Bible schools, conventions, evangelistic outreaches, and churches.
