who is is william ward
William Ward was an English Baptist Missionary who came to India. He was sent to India concerning the need for printing in the Indian mission field. He was chiefly occupied in overseeing the community's printing press, which was used to disseminate the scriptures, once they had been translated into Bengáli, Mahratta, Tamil, and twenty-three other languages. Numerous philological works were also issued and Ward still found time to both keep a copious diary and to preach the gospel to the natives. He was born on 20th October 1769 at Derby in England and died on 7th March, 1823 at Serampore, India.
