LENS Foundation, the Lutheran Endowment for Novosaratovka Seminary, was created to provide financial support to the fledging Theological Seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Russian village of Novosaratovka.

Donations through LENS support the inspired work and preparation of local Lutheran pastors, seminarians and congregations throughout Russia and the Newly Independent States. Our goals are to provide annual student aid to seminarians, stipends to graduate pastors, and to establish a long-term endowment fund.
