Rev Edmund Chan is the founder of the Intentional Disciple Making Church (IDMC) Conference, which he launched in 1995 with a clear vision to return the Church to her disciple-making roots. Under his leadership, IDMC has grown from a local discipleship gathering into a major international movement, shaping pastors and leaders across Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas.
A gifted expository preacher and leadership mentor, Pastor Ed is widely sought after for his clarity, depth, and prophetic insight into discipleship. He has authored numerous books and teaches leadership and discipleship courses globally, mentoring top-tier leaders in churches, organisations, and the marketplace.
For the past two years, he has served as the main speaker at IDMC Penang, imparting valuable biblical insights and catalysing a deeper disciple-making culture among churches in the region.
Pastor Ed is married to Ann, who ministers alongside him in the Global Alliance IDMC. They have two beloved adopted daughters, Amanda and Belicia.
