Ligonier Ministries Launches Initiative to Provide Theological Resources to Global Pastors

Ligonier Ministries has highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by pastors in regions where theological training and biblical resources are scarce. The organization points to the example of Pastor Moses in Togo, who serves a congregation transitioning from traditional animism and voodoo practices. According to the ministry, many congregants in such areas lack personal Bibles, and local leaders often struggle to access reliable discipleship materials to counter the influence of false teaching.

Citing data that suggests approximately 95 percent of the world’s five million pastors lack formal theological education, the organization is calling for support to distribute study Bibles and other educational tools. The initiative emphasizes the necessity of grounding pastoral ministry in the authoritative Word of God, referencing Hebrews 13:17 and James 3:1 to underscore the responsibility of church leaders. By providing these resources, the ministry aims to equip pastors to better disciple their congregations and maintain doctrinal integrity in their respective communities.
