Scholarships to NLTC
Tuesday, February 18, 2014 at 10:05AM People often ask what The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) is doing in East Africa. Here’s a snip from our catalogue of projects in Africa, one of the ongoing grants that the LCMS awards to our partner church in this area:
Scholarships to Matongo: The church in East Africa is vibrant and growing. New congregations are being planted across the region and the church is struggling to provide pastors for those congregations. Often, the lay leader of a newly planted congregation is willing to study at a regional seminary in Matongo, Kenya, but doesn’t have the resources to pay for the tuition, room, and board. The churches of East Africa are eager to access resources that will enable them to send candidates to the seminary. The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod is perfectly poised to collaborate with our partner churches in the region and Neema Lutheran Theological Seminary in Matongo to provide scholarships for those the church is calling and sending. Praise the Lord for the ways He calls His people and His pastors into service.
