Before coming to Bushnell, Lindsay was college principal and bible lecturer at Springdale College in Birmingham, England. His experience of cross-cultural ministry and missions during his 15 years in Germany, Britain, and Central Europe gave him a deep appreciation for the world church and a strong sense of the urgency of Christian missions. In addition to his academic background, Lindsay is an ordained minister and has held pastoral ministry positions in the USA and Germany. He has preached and lectured on several occasions in Poland and Lithuania and is a visiting professor for the Institute of Biblical Studies in Vienna, Austria.

Two years later he earned his Master of Arts degree in Old Testament from Lincoln Christian Seminary. He added a Master of Arts degree in Classical Greek from the University of Illinois in 1985 and earned a Doctor of Theology degree in 1991 from Eberhard-Karls Universitat in Wurttemberg, Germany.
