Pray for Kidnapped Missionaries
An urgent prayer request was issued after a group of 17 missionaries and family members, mostly Americans, were abducted in Haiti on Saturday.
The Ohio-based Christian Aid Ministries sent an audio alert stating that men, women, and children were kidnapped while on their way home from building an orphanage, The Washington Post reports.
A person familiar with the abduction, who chose to remain anonymous, said one of the abducted Americans posted a message on WhatsApp during those terrifying moments.
"Please pray for us!! We are being held hostage, they kidnapped our driver. Pray pray pray. We don't know where they are taking us."
The U.S. State Department said in a statement that they were aware of the reports on the kidnapping.
"The welfare and safety of U.S. citizens abroad is one of the highest priorities of the Department of State," the spokesperson said.
"The mission field director and the American embassy are working to see what can be done," the audio was quoted as saying. "Pray that the gang members will come to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ." (CBN)
