He spent most of his adult life as pastor in the Holy Land. He is especially known for pastoring the Narkis Street Baptist Church in Jerusalem. His biography was published under the name One Foot In Heaven: The Story of Bob Lindsey of Jerusalem. While rescuing an Arab orphan from the dangerous Israel-Jordan border in 1961, Lindsey was seriously injured after stepping on a land mine which resulted in the loss of his left foot.
He was a New Testament scholar. He was a contributor to the Jerusalem Perspective, an academic journal of a consortium of Israeli scholars, including Jews, Christians, and others, of Jesus Research, also known as the Quest for the Historical Jesus.
