(Jer. Post) 100 gather at Jerusalem Memorial service for Kristine Luken

“I can imagine her, in her last breath, saying ”˜Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,’” says friend of American tourist killed in suspected terror attack.

In a moving ceremony that reaffirmed American Kristine Luken’s deep love for Israel and God, 100 people gathered in Christ Church in the Old City in Jerusalem in a memorial service for the women who was murdered in a stabbing attack on Saturday night.

“She went boldy where she believe God wanted her to go, and was not deterred in her dogged pursuit despite questioning and ridicule from others,” her family said in a letter that was read at the service.
