LHF at Work for Spanish-Speaking People
Since 2008, LHF has been at work translating and publishing materials in the Spanish language, which are distributed throughout South, Central and North America. LHF’s most popular Spanish publication is the Bible with Small Catechism, which combines the RVC edition of the Spanish Bible with a Small Catechism with Explanation all in one volume. To date, over 110,000 copies have been printed and distributed.
In 2018 LHF translated and published a child’s Bible storybook, A Child’s Garden of Bible Stories, (36,000 copies printed to date). In 2020 a Spanish Small Catechism with Explanation (10,000 copies) and ‘Jesus Never Fails’ (20,000 copies), an evangelism tract, were printed. LHF is also assisting with the printing of a Spanish Hymnal with an anticipated first printing of 20,000 copies.
LHF is grateful for the technical and distribution support provided by the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and her Latin American partner churches and also Lutheran Hour Ministries through their ministry center locations across South and Central America. Soli Deo Gloria!
