The staff of the Ohio-based Christian Aid Ministries has been praying day and night for the safe return of 15 of their 17 missionaries kidnapped by the notorious 400 Mawozo gang in Haiti while continuing to work through the crisis, the international organization said.
“Our staff have done well in continuing the work, despite the constant concern as we consider our loved ones who are still being held hostage,” Weston Showalter, a spokesman for Christian Aid Ministries, told The Daily Record in an interview published Sunday.
A week ago, Christian Aid Ministries announced that two of their 17 abducted missionaries kidnapped on Oct. 16, reported to be sick adults, were released and no ransom was paid. Prior to their release, the leader of the 400 Mawozo gang threatened the missionaries would be killed if they did not receive $1 million each for their freedom.
