Jerusalem (MNN/WYC) ―Jerusalem police are on high alert following a terrorist bombing on March 23 that jolted the city. It has been linked to the renewed hostilities between Israelis and Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
In response, Israel set up its Iron Dome missile defense system. Airstrikes Sunday bolstered the response to the violent explosion--the first fatal attack in Jerusalem since 2004.
40 were wounded in the attack, and the one casualty was a Wycliffe Bible Translator team member, Mary Gardner, 55.
She was studying at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem to further the journey she embarked on in 1986. At that time, she began her training at the Bible Training Institute in Glasgow, joining Wycliffe Bible Translators in August 1988.
At the time, she described her passion for her work: ‘The Bible has always been important to me and played a large part in my own conversion. I am convinced of the value of the work of Wycliffe Bible Translators and that other aspects of mission such as evangelism and church planting are greatly strengthened by having the Scriptures in the language people know best.'
