Four Wycliffe Associates workers have been killed in an attack by radicals in the organization’s office in the Middle East.
Wycliffe explained in a statement that the attackers, who are yet to be identified, shot and destroyed all the equipment in the Bible translation office, but the hard drives containing the translation work for eight language projects was saved.
Two of the Wycliffe workers were apparently killed by gunshots, while two others laid on top of the lead translator and died while “deflecting bludgeoning blows from the radicals’ spent weapons,” and managed to save his life.
Mae Greenleaf, prayer coordinator for Wycliffe Associates, said that several other people were also injured in the raid.
