A group of 17 missionaries and family members primarily Americans were kidnapped in Haiti on Saturday after returning from a site visit to an orphanage, according to an audio alert from their Christian aid group and a person familiar with the abduction, marking the latest in a wave of kidnappings to grip the spiraling Caribbean nation.
An audio described as a prayer alert from Ohio-based Christian Aid Ministries and obtained by The Washington Post stated that men, women and children associated with the group were being held by an armed gang. Those abducted included organization staff as well as family members, according to the recording.
The mission field director and the American embassy are working to see what can be done, the voice on the recording stated. It later added, Pray that the gang members will come to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
Christian Aid Ministries did not respond to a request for comment.
