Russian Missions During Covid

During this Covid time, The Ingrian Lutheran Church in Russia has actually been adding congregations! Several free-standing Protestant churches and Lutheran churches from both the German and the Church of the Augsburg Confession have come to know of us through online work and have asked to join.

Their pastors all have to be re-educated (many even confirmed). These congregations and their pastors are sent LHF books to begin their learning of the Confessions (so of course, they receive the Book of Concord, the Lutheran Study Bible, any of Luther’s Works we have, etc.). We now have work going on in Kaliningrad, Kirov, Novorossiysk, Yakutsk, Yalta and several other places.

In all of this work, LHF translations are a huge help! We have confessional material we can trust, which we can send to those congregations to begin their learning on the road to becoming Confessional Lutheran Christians.
