Praise: Missionaries Held Captive in Haiti Released
The Haitian 400 Mawozo gang has released the last 12 Christian missionary hostages just a little over two months after their kidnapping.
In an announcement on Thursday, the Ohio-based religious group Christian Aid Ministries praised God for delivering their Christian brethren out of harm’s way. The organization said:
We glorify God for answered prayer—the remaining twelve hostages are FREE! Join us in praising God that all seventeen of our loved ones are now safe. Thank you for your fervent prayers throughout the past two months. We hope to provide more information as we are able.
The safety of the hostages was also confirmed to NBC News by Haiti National Police Spokesman Gary Desrosiers.
In October, the 400 Mawozo gang kidnapped 17 Christian missionaries in the Ganthier commune in the suburb of Port-au-Prince. Sixteen were American citizens with one Canadian – six men, six women, and five children. As Breitbart News reported at the time:
A bus carrying the 12 adults and 5 children — including an 8-month-old baby — was hijacked as it made its way home from an orphanage outside Port-au-Prince.
The leader of the 400 Mawozo gang — a violent group with a history of killings, kidnappings, and extortion — threatened to kill his captives if his demands are not met, which include the payment of $1,000,000 for each of them.
The missionary group remained steadfast in its support of the hostages, regularly calling on supporters to pray and fast for their safety.

Thank You Father for this wonderful act of mercy. I pray the little ones will not have frightening memories of this time but remember only their Father in Heaven loves them and provided them freedom. May the Praise of Jesus Christ empower our hearts, our voices, and our nation for Your Glory and our good. And may the Mighty Holy Spirit keep us active. Amen
