The Gospel in Peru: LHF Gives Us a Tool to Instruct

Many people in Peru have been confused by alternative translations of the Bible, (i.e., Jehovah’s Witnesses,Mormons, etc.) LHF’s RVC version of the Spanish Bible with Small Catechism gives us a tool to instruct, both in the basics of the Christian faith and also in Bible stories and truths.

So many people in Peru have a very shallow Biblical experience and knowledge. For many years, the Roman Catholic church forbade reading the Scriptures, and people obediently shied away from exploring them.

One such man, Ricardo Mueller, actually feared opening the Bible. None of his children had been baptized. I visited them every Saturday for a year,using LHF’s Spanish Bible for their instruction. The family was baptized on Sept. 13, 2016 at our church service in Los Olivos.
