Urgent Prayer Request for Kidnapped Christian Nurse and Her Daughter
We are now entering day 5 since our dear friend, Alix, and her daughter were kidnapped from our El Roi Haiti ministry site near Port au Prince. We continue to work diligently with authorities and partners in the United States and Haiti to secure their freedom. Many people are laboring for their return, but currently we cannot share more specific details. We are so thankful for all of the support that has been shown. Please continue to pray with us for the protection and freedom of Alix and her daughter. As our hearts break for this situation, we also continue to pray for the country and people of Haiti and for freedom from the suffering they endure daily.
Alix has been on staff with El Roi Haiti as a school nurse since 2020 and married our ministry director in 2021. She first visited Haiti soon after the 2010 earthquake while she was in college and fell in love with the people. She spent her breaks and summers taking trips back to the country. Once she started working as a nurse she would save money and then self-fund all of her trips to Haiti, going as often as she could. She had lived in Haiti for multiple years, showing love and care in a variety of ways before coming on staff with us, but has had a heart for the hurting since she was a child. She seeks people out to show them love and compassion, and no one is excluded from receiving her kindness. Alix lives a life following in the footsteps of Jesus as she obeys the Biblical command found in Mark 12:30 to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength….and to love your neighbor as yourself.”
We have committed this situation to God knowing that He is good, so until Alix and her daughter are safely returned to us we will do as it says in Psalm 27:14 “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
Please continue to refrain from speculating on social media about this situation in order to protect Alix and her daughter during this time. We also ask that you direct all requests, comments, questions to the El Roi Haiti board and not to Alix’s friends and family as this is a very sensitive situation and difficult for all who are involved. We will continue to update our website as we are able. Please check here: Blog - El Roi Haiti for accurate information.
