Abducted Missionary Released!

A missionary nurse in Haiti and her daughter who were abducted July 27 have now been released! Praise God! Her mission agency wrote yesterday:

“On Tuesday, August 8th Alix and her daughter were released healthy and unharmed after 13 days of captivity. We could not be more thankful for the safety of our dear sister, friend, and staff member. Alix is a remarkably resilient woman whose walk with God guides her deep love for her family and her passionate commitment to the Haitian people.

Throughout this ordeal, God demonstrated His lovingkindness through both private and public sector partners and resources who helped us navigate this crisis. Concilium Inc., a faith-based global security ministry, provided crisis consultants whose critical guidance and support led us each step through the recovery process. God also sent us key US law enforcement and State Department representatives who worked tirelessly behind the scenes in support of Alix and her family. Through these partners and resources, the Lord proved Himself to be holy, faithful, present, just, merciful, all-knowing, loving, good, and glorious. 

Sandro and Alix believe that the hope of Haiti rests in Jesus’ work in the rising generation. The El Roi Haiti ministry was born out of Sandro’s desire to bring the transforming love of Jesus to his community by meeting spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of Haiti’s youth. 

Sandro’s and Alix’s impact in the community was reflected in the people’s response to Alix’s kidnapping as thousands of Haitians united their voices and risked their lives to march for the release of Alix and her child as well as other Haitian captives. To the many people and communities in Haiti that expressed support for Alix and her daughter during this time, we want to say thank you for the courage you’ve shown in the midst of your own challenges.

The Bible tells us if we are to boast, we should boast in the Lord (2 Corinthians 10:17). We at El Roi Haiti are delighted to boast of how good our God is as He clearly demonstrated His love, grace, and mercy through so many who stood faithful and firm, championing the plight of Alix and her child until the Lord delivered them both to freedom.

Thank you to the many who have encouraged and supported Sandro and Alix and the El Roi Haiti team; we are grateful for each of you.”

Missionary and Her Daughter Kidnapped in Haiti

Lord, we praise You for the safe release of Alix and her baby. Please heal them completely from the trauma they have faced. Give them the ability by the power of Your love to forgive, heal and step out in all the deeper faith. Be a Shield around her family and all those working at El Roi Haiti. Thank You for the many who did what they could to stand up for and pray for Alix’s release. Bless that ministry abundantly and raise up many young people there who will love You with all their hearts and turn the tide of violence in Haiti to a nation filled with God’s love and grace. Continue to use Alix, Sandro and all their team to bring many Haitians to Christ and offer hope in that place where hope has been lost to so many. Please quickly bring an end to the gang violence and give speedy justice to those who have terrorized that island. For Alix’s abductors, we ask You to please meet them in their dreams and remind them throughout the day of Your goodness they saw in her, of her faith and Your love flowing through her. Pierce their hearts with a deep hunger to know You, and bring them once again to El Roi, not to kidnap as they did before, but to ask how they can know Jesus. Lower them to their knees in repentance, and then save them, O God. Block all that the enemy is doing. Turn every evil plot into a snare that binds up the enemy, and bring forth great good for Your glory. In Your precious name. Amen.
