Kidnapped Elderly Pastor In Haiti Held Even After Ransom Paid

According to information provided by the Miami Herald,  Pastor Jean Pierre Ferrer Michel, the founding member of the church Jesus Center, was kidnapped in Port-au-Princeon church on October 3 when armed men who pretended to be Haitian National Police officers took him.

Now, the pastor makes headlines because although a ransom has been paid for his release, the kidnappers still keep him captive. 

The 79-year-old elderly pastor’s family and friends are asking for information. They want to know about the pastor’s condition and want the media to get involved into this case, too, as they are with the case related to the kidnapping of the 17 missionaries.

 “They don’t talk about it like they are talking about the case of the group of 17. But this man is an American citizen, too,” a family friend told the news outlet.

The Pastor’s wife, Maryse Michel,  decided to shared a video in Haitian Creole pleading for his husband’s release.

“They have yet to release him after 17 days,” she said. “He’s without his medication. He’s an old man who is nearly 80 years old and doesn’t have a lot of years in front of him. I’ve come to plead, and I came to ask everyone who it concerns: Release the pastor. Release my husband. Give the children back their father. Give the family back their brother because we did everything already. They are still holding them. They have to let them go. We did everything we were supposed to do.”

According to The Miami Herald,  the Haitian gang hasn’t contacted the pastor’s family after they gave them the ransom affirming the amount wasn’t enough. 

Let’s keep the pastors and the other 17 missionaries in our prayers so they can be delivered from this situation with no harm. May God’s angel protect them, fight their battle, and give them victory, in the Mighty name of Jesus Christ.
