A group of 17 missionaries who are part of Christian Aid Ministries based in Ohio were abducted while visiting an orphanage in Haiti on Saturday. Christian Aid Ministries asked for the prayers for a resolution. A group of five men, seven women and five children were US citizens and one Canadian citizen was in the abducted group.
“Please pray for us!! We are being held hostage, they kidnapped our driver, Pray pray pray. We don’t know where they are taking to us, ” the abducted one had sent a message to a person familiar. Haitian police official said that the ‘400 Mawoso’ group was responsible for the kidnapping. The same criminal gang kidnapped Catholic priests and religious in April. They demanded ransom in that case. Even though they were released after several weeks it is not clear that the ransom had been paid or not.
