Maggie Evans, Christian Friends of Israel Jerusalem board member

We are devastated to announce that Maggie Evans, a long time member of Christ Church Jerusalem died today. She was killed outside her home when a crane mounted on a truck fell over and struck her. She died shortly after arriving at the hospital.

As a young woman, Maggie left her home in England to serve as a nurse in Bangladesh before coming to Israel in 1980.  She was a resident of Jerusalem for forty-five years where she worked for the Near East Ministry (NEM) and for Sha’are Tzedek hospital until her retirement.  She supported and contributed to other Christian ministries including the Christ Church Mercy Fund and Christian Friends of Israel.

Maggie was known for her prayerfulness and was well loved for her kindness, her encouraging words, and her care for the sick and needy.
