Bible Translator Gunned Down While Trying to Protect His Family in War-Torn African Country
A Bible translator was tragically gunned down in the Central African Republic, where he was working with ACATBA, a biblical literacy organization that partners with Wycliffe Bible Translators.
The situation in the Central African Republic, a nation in central Africa, continues to be dire. Following a coup in March by a coalition of mostly Islamic rebel groups known as Seleka, the political situation has been chaotic and unpredictable.
“Reprisals against Christians in particular in Bangui are of great concern,” Robbins said. “There have been … reprisals in certain neighborhoods of Bangui, resulting in thousands seeking refuge on the airstrip of the international airport.”
