Our friends and fellow laborers with the Christian Missionary Society in Peru are developing a musical version of the first 38 questions of the Westminster Shorter Catechism–en Espanol, ya esta! Alonzo Ramirez has translated the texts, and Allen Smith is leading the way with the composition of tunes that sing well to the Peruvian ear. You can listen to samples at Allen and Sandi Smith’s blog, which also includes a video slide show for questions 1 and 7:
Allen reports that children in Trujillo, Peru love to sing these catechism songs, and that in some neighborhoods he can hear the songs being sung in the streets as the children play. Rejoice in God’s truth going forth!
