Announcing Our Dedicated-Language Website in Telugu
We are pleased to announce that Ligonier has launched its online outreach in Telugu. Thanks to the generous support of ministry friends such as you, te.Ligonier.org is Ligonier’s nineteenth dedicated-language website, providing a new online library of biblical teaching and discipleship materials for more than 96 million Telugu-speaking people worldwide.
Telugu is primarily spoken in the southern Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. There are also about one million Telugu speakers who live on the Arabian peninsula and about half a million speakers residing in the United States. Though Hinduism is the dominant religion in most of India, a growing number of people are coming to faith in Christ by God’s grace.
However, hostility against the church is rising across India, making this new online outreach critical. Radical Hindus are disrupting church gatherings, attacking pastors and their families, and vandalizing churches. Yet in the midst of the darkness, the light of God’s Word is going forth.
te.Ligonier.org offers an online library of trusted teaching from Dr. R.C. Sproul and other gifted teachers, including translated articles on topics relating to the Christian life, the Ligonier Statement on Christology, and historic Christian creeds. All of these resources will be dispersed broadly through Ligonier’s new Telugu Facebook and Instagram pages.
Please join us in praying that this outreach will strengthen the church throughout India as Telugu-speaking Christians are equipped to stand firm in the gospel when faced with persecution.
With the launch of te.Ligonier.org, Ligonier is now sustaining active ministry in sixteen of the top twenty languages of the world. This online outreach also contributes to Ligonier’s aim of developing the world’s most extensive library of discipleship resources that are true to the historic Christian faith.
This global gospel outreach depends on the prayers and generosity of faithful donors such as you. Thank you for helping to make it possible to translate, publish, and distribute trusted teaching in Telugu so that people in India, across the Arabian peninsula, and worldwide may know God in all His holiness.
