Details remain sparse a month into the investigation into the abduction of 17 missionaries by a Haitian gang.
Holmes-County based Christian Aid Ministries continues to pray and fast for the situation, as well as work with U.S. and Haiti officials to secure their release.
“Pray that God would touch the hearts of the kidnappers and draw them to Himself,” Christian Aid Ministries, or CAM, said in its update issued Monday on the situation.
A U.S. official in President Biden’s administration has seen proof of life for some of the American and Canadian missionaries, according to a news report.
The official did not offer additional details, but officials have said President Biden is briefed daily on the situation.
Officials have said 16 Americans and 1 Canadian were abducted by 400 Mawozo, a Haitian gang, while doing missions work at an orphanage near Port-au-Prince on Oct. 16.
The gang has demanded a $1 million ransom for each prisoner.
A Haitian man who identified himself as the gang’s leader said in a video posted to social media shortly after the abduction that he would kill “these Americans” if he doesn’t get what he needs.
CAM said Tuesday, in its daily update, that it has received “hundreds and hundreds” of encouraging letters from people all around the world.
“We, along with the families of the hostages, greatly appreciate your faithful encouragement and committed prayer efforts,” CAM said in a statement.
