Therefore, we extend forgiveness to you.” Troyer said the hostages had “prayed for their captors and told them about God’s love and their need to repent.” The missionaries were abducted shortly after visiting an orphanage in Ganthier, in the Croix-des-Bouquets area, where they verified it had received aid from CAM and played with the children, Troyer said. “As they became aware of what was happening at the time of capture, the group began singing the chorus, ‘The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them,’” Troyer said, quoting from the biblical book of Psalms. CAM hopes to continue working in Haiti, Troyer said, while acknowledging that it will need to bolster security protocols and “better instruct our people about the dangers involved.” Authorities have said 400 Mawozo was demanding $1 million per person in ransom, although it wasn’t clear if that included the children.
