“PLEASE PRAY FOR US!! WE ARE BEING HELD HOSTAGE”. 16 AMERICAN MISSIONARIES AND THEIR CHILDREN, PLUS A CANADIAN CITIZEN, ARE KIDNAPPED BY ARMED GANG MEMBERS IN HAITI AS ABDUCTEE SENDS A SECRET WHATSAPP MESSAGE DURING ABDUCTION.
A group of Christian missionaries and their family members were kidnapped on Saturday by gang members in Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince.
The missionaries were abducted from a bus headed to the airport to drop off some members of the group before continuing to another destination in Haiti, a report by the New York Times stated, citing security officials from the crisis-engulfed Caribbean nation.
The missionaries — which include 16 Americans, a Canadian citizen and several children — were taken in the area of La Tremblay by what was believed to be members of the 400 Mawozo gang, the Miami Herald reported.
A person familiar with the situation claims one of the abducted Americans posted a cry for help in a WhatsApp group as the kidnapping was occurring.
'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 abductee said.
The US government has been made aware of the kidnapping reports and officials at the American embassy are reportedly looking into the situation.
Meanwhile, thousands of Haitian migrants have fled the country, which is vastly controlled by gangs, and come to the US in the last month. The mass exodus follows the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse who was fatally shot at his private residence on July 7.

So the unvaccinated Navy Seals can’t go rescue them, right?
Come on man! I can both with such trivia as hostages right now Hunter has an art show opening next week!
‘Please pray for us!!’
Instead of praying, they should have used logic and avoided the 3rd world shithole of Haiti.

If not for the European colonialists that settled and established somewhat civilized law abiding entities in the third world, would the indigenous people have been worse or better off?? I’d like to see this hypothetical situation evaluated by leftists and the media that are obsessed with promoting righteousness of indigenous peoples and the “evil” of settlers. Where would the indigenous peoples be had they been walled off from outside influences?
60-80k headed towards our border and once in the US most are heading to Florida from what I have been reading.
Poor Florida.
Maybe they should re-examine their resistance to their doctrine of non-resistance.
They will not use force to protect themselves or others. Will they ask for the government (use of force) to rescue them now? Or will they quietly accept their fate?

“Make Missions Local Again” by Michael Foster
Plenty of thing the church could be doing right here in the US instead of spending time and money trying to convert a bunch of believers of voodoo.
Get your own house in order.
Only Haitians can “save” Haiti. Anyone else should stay the hell away. Haiti is Haiti because Haitians want it that way.
When you find out which organization they were with, and do a bit of research, you will find out how applicable your idea of getting their own house in order is.
I believe in God.
I believe in killing those who would kill me.
I believe in avoiding “African” countries.
These Christians should stay in America, where plenty of people need help.
Trump would have had them out of there by now. No doubt. The crazed leftist will not help because they are Christians. Sick people.
Right you are. The average IQ in Haiti is 67. No overcoming that.
Naive missionaries. Haiti is unfixable. French missionaries couldn't do anything for those people 200 years ago. Voodoo is their religion. Even ostensibly civilized Haitians practice voodoo.
It would take mighty spiritual armor to tame Haiti and overcome Satan. And nothing is going to overcome their intrinsic IQ deficit.
They murdered all the white people on the island.
Now they can live like Wakandans in their self created Utopia.
They should have sent gps info from a phone.
If European colonists didn’t arrive, the population of Hispaniola would have been Arawak, unless the Caribs had annihilated them.
Can’t argue any benefit for the indigenous there. They’re pretty much extinct.
People would generally rather rule themselves badly that be governed well by another people. Not quite give me liberty of give me death, but something of the kind.
