LTS News 2020,3
Dear LTS Friends,
“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast” (1 Peter 5:10).
In this time of pandemic, it is always good to remember God’s promises. When Peter wrote these words, the situation was another; but we can apply the promises of God to the situation that we are living in. “The God of all grace will make you strong, firm and steadfast.”
With this assurance, I have the pleasure to introduce the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Tshwane, Pretoria, South Africa, Newsletter, Issue 2020,3. See attached.
We thank Prof. Dr. Heinz Hiestermann for putting all articles and news together.
The LTS is in need of more support. COVID-19 has affected us as well as many of our donors. See below how you may help us.
Wishing you all God’s blessing, and thank you in advance for your support in prayer and in donations.
Kind regards.
Rev. Carlos Walter Winterle – Rector
