One of the most stimulating aspects of working at London Theological Seminary (LTS) is the wide variety of the backgrounds of the men who we train.

With students from four or five continents coming to London Theological Seminary, the cultural mix is ideally suited to training pastors and preachers for the global village in which we now all live. How did this come about?

Lloyd-Jones’s vision

Following the death of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones in 1981, the Board of LTS set up a fund in his memory to help men from Eastern Europe and from developing countries come to study at the Seminary. In 1977, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (ML-J) had been the driving force behind the establishment of LTS, whose exclusive aim was (and remains) the training of men for preaching and pastoral ministry. The objective of the new fund was to enable men from other parts of the world, who would not otherwise be able to afford it, to train at LTS. They would then return to their home countries to minister.
