Luther Academy Distance Learning Students at an Intensive Study Week in Kenya
This summer, Luther Academy (LA) distance learning students and Jēkabs Jurdžs, Director of the Academy’s Theology study programme, gathered in Nairobi, Kenya, for their annual intensive study week.
Nairobi was chosen as the location because a large proportion of the students are theology students from Africa and the Middle East. During the study week, participants had the opportunity to study liturgics and catechesis, visit the local Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kenya, and enjoy wonderful fellowship.
Our heartfelt thanks go to the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), which made it possible for the students to participate and provided the main lecturers:
Dr. Rev. John Vickar,
Rev. Christian Theves,
Rev. Jerry Lawson, who serves at St. John’s Lutheran Congregation in Riga. He warmly welcomes all English-speaking worshippers to the Sunday service at 12:30 p.m., where they can receive the grace of Christ through His Word and Sacraments.
To find out more about how the week unfolded, watch the fascinating two-part video series in English on YouTube.
The videos were created by Tomas Pavilanskas-Kalvanas and Rita Naujokaitytė. Tomas is a Luther Academy student who hosts what is possibly the only television programme in the country dedicated to Lutheranism. You can find out more by visiting the YouTube channel “Kelias.”
