PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Two of 17 members of a missionary group who were kidnapped more than a month ago are safe and “in good spirits” after being freed in Haiti, their U.S.-based church organization announced.
Christian Aid Ministries issued a statement Sunday saying it could not give the names of those released, say why they were freed or offer other information.
“While we rejoice at this release, our hearts are with the 15 people who are still being held,” the Ohio-based group said.
The missionaries were kidnapped by the 400 Mawozo gang on Oct. 16. There are five children in the group of 16 U.S. citizens and one Canadian, including an 8-month-old. Their Haitian driver also was abducted, according to a local human rights organization.
