 With great expectation, Ligonier has launched its first-ever capital campaign-- Here We Stand: The Campaign for Ligonier Ministries. This bold initiative follows years of visionary planning and is designed to create a unique destination of learning and fellowship from which men and women will be grounded in biblical truth for generations. For almost four decades, Christians have trusted Ligonier Ministries for the highest level of scriptural and theological instruction. We are now poised to expand our reach through Ligonier Academy of Biblical and Theological Studies and its beautiful campus, creating an innovative location from which to proclaim God's holiness and fulfill our mission. Through this endeavor, the teaching fellowship of Dr. R.C. Sproul will continue its impact on Christians and Christ's church, to the glory of God. The centerpiece of the campaign, Ligonier Academy of Biblical and Theological Studies, has been established to equip Christians both in the classroom and through distance learning, offering a number of degree and non-degree programs for each. The Academy resides on a lush 34+ acre lakefront property that will become home base for ministry headquarters and our various outreaches--a campus ideally suited to academic pursuits and Christian discipleship. The $15.6 million campaign is intended to finance this ambitious enterprise for expanded, intergenerational outreach. In 1521 Martin Luther courageously stood for the truths of Scripture, declaring without compromise "...here I stand." With like determination to defend the historic Christian faith, Luther's famous words have been adapted as the motto for this campaign. We anticipate that many will want to invest in this vital work and stand with us through their prayers and financial support. Many have already done so. By God's grace, approximately 26% of the funds needed to complete the project have already been committed. Those who answer the call to participate have a part in the future of our vital work and will impact the world through a new generation of reformers. Our vision is bold, but our faith is strong. By God's immeasurable grace... stand with us. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Randi Walter is Director of Stewardship for Ligonier Ministries.
