Bible charity vows to continue translation work after murders of four employees By: Perry Chiaramonte Published March 30, 2016 FoxNews.com Extremists recently busted into a secret office in the Middle East and killed four translators working for Wycliffe Bible Translation. The non-profit is dedicated to bringing the gospel to hundreds of obscure languages… The four unidentified translators, who worked secretly for Wycliffe Associates, a Florida non-profit dedicated to bringing the gospel to hundreds of obscure languages, were killed by suspected Islamist militants at an undisclosed location, Wycliffe officials said in a statement. “They shot and destroyed all the equipment in the office,” read the statement. “The invaders burned all the books and other translation materials in the office." The work is so dangerous that Wycliffe Associates President Bruce Smith will not even say what country the office was in or give the names of those killed. He did say the attackers shot two workers to death and beat two more to death with emptied guns as they used their bodies to shield a senior translator who survived… “The remaining translation team has decided to re-double their efforts to translate, publish, and print God’s word for these eight language communities.” The attack highlights the recent wave of genocide against Christians in places like the Middle East and Europe… Smith said the work simply cannot be done in the relative safety of the U.S. … “Even when tragedy strikes, as in this case, the testimony of Christ is loud and clear,” Smith also said in his statement to FoxNews.com. “Yes, there is a tremendous cost. But as Tertullian, an early Church father, said – the blood of martyrs are the seeds of the church.” 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
