Most years, LTS receives more admission requests than the number of students it can take in. In 2024, requests from 12 different Lutheran Church Bodies in Africa were received. Also for next year, the number of applications is larger than we can accommodate. Most enquiries are from financially struggling church bodies who cannot contribute towards education their pastors. LTS would like to train these students by offering quality confessional Lutheran formation. To adopt a student from another African country, costs around $4,000 p.a. This consists of flights and visa costs ($1,500), medical aid ($500), tuition fee and stipend ($1,000 each). Part-donations are welcome. Students spend three years in total at LTS.
Right now there are students waiting to be “adopted.” In faith, these seminarians desire to come to LTS to prepare for the service as multipliers of the Lutheran Church in Africa. Now you can encourage them with your prayers and help make their preparation financially possible.
Also, as an Adopt-A-Student sponsor, you can expect to hear from your student frequently. While students wishing to receive Adopt-A-Student funds are asked to write their sponsors every academic semester, they are encouraged to stay in touch with their sponsors even more frequently during the academic year.
