February 13, 1939 – December 14, 2017

One of the greatest Systematic Theology teachers of our time, R.C. Sproul founded Ligonier Ministries in 1971, in the Ligonier Valley, outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and thereby started his lifelong work of worldwide ministry via print, audio and video. In 2021, Ligonier celebrated 50 years of world-wide ministry and, together with Sproul’s beloved wife, Vesta, looked back on the blessed gift R.C. had been to us all.

Sproul lived an exemplary life, and when he passed in 2017, like his father before him, would have been justified to repeat the apostle Paul’s last words to Timothy:

“For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

(2 Timothy 4:6-7)
