Our Goal

Ligonier Ministries is partnering with the Rosemary Jensen Bible Foundation to provide thousands of free copies of the Reformation Study Bible to pastors, church leaders, and students throughout Africa. The project began in 2017, and our goal is to send and distribute 100,000 Reformation Study Bibles by 2028.

The Great Need

This region of the world is projected to change dramatically over the coming years as a young Christian population grows rapidly and the Muslim population increases. Thousands of schools and churches around Africa lack adequate theological resources. There is a theological famine. Reliable study Bibles are practically nonexistent, and Bibles are expensive.

“On my recent trip to East Africa, I asked church leaders in each country if they could even get a Reformation Study Bible. They replied that you cannot find them in bookstores and if you could, it would cost anywhere from a half to a full month’s stipend for a pastor. This is utterly out of reach. I don’t know anyone in the U.S. who has ever spent a month’s salary on a study Bible!” —Rosemary Jensen

Give God’s Word to Teachers of the Word

This is a unique opportunity to equip the teachers who are instructing the next generation of Christians in the African church. Giving an African pastor a Reformation Study Bible impacts hundreds, if not thousands, of Christians. The theological notes and trusted commentary make the Reformation Study Bible a much-needed companion to those preaching the Word of God in Africa who do not enjoy the resources that we do in much of the developed world.

You Can Help

This is a tremendous opportunity to bring the Word of God and study notes that are in-line with the historic Christian faith into thousands of classrooms and churches throughout Africa. Ligonier’s mission includes the call to reach “as many people as possible.” This outreach represents a pivotal opportunity to do just that, and we ask you to prayerfully consider joining with us. Thank you for giving today.

Our policy is to apply gifts given toward a specific program. If we receive more contributions than can be wisely used for a given project, we apply these funds to meet other pressing needs in our outreach efforts. We are committed to stewarding all gifts wisely toward the goal of proclaiming the holiness of God to as many people as possible.
