“‘…I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit…’” (John 15:16, NLT).“God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9, NLT).
Bible translator Mary Gardner, a member of Wycliffe UK, was killed by a bomb explosion in Jerusalem on Wednesday, March 23.
Mary was in Jerusalem studying Hebrew at The Home for Bible Translators. Mary spent much of her life in Togo, west Africa, where, in 1989, she joined a team translating the Ifè New Testament. The Ifè New Testament translation was finished in 2009.
Pray for God’s hand of peace on Mary’s family, friends, and colleagues as they mourn her passing.
