Buddy Lamb is a professional Christian
entertainer, standup comedian, magician, author,
teacher and pastor who is from Columbus,
Georgia. He has taught entertainment at
numerous festivals, seminaries and professional
training schools since 1983. He was the Drama

Bob's ministry exists to exalt Jesus Christ as Savior, pointing people to
His saving grace, and encouraging the believer, by presenting biblically
sound music with a passionate commitment to genuine worship and
an unwavering dedication to excellence. He says, "It is my conviction

of ministering only when Jesus Christ is honored and glorified."
