My heart sank this morning reading about the brutal gang attack in Haiti’s capital. Three missionaries, including a young American couple, David and Natalie Lloyd, were killed.
They’d spent years giving their all to help Haiti alongside their parents’ charity. Impossible to imagine their family’s grief.
Port-au-Prince is a dangerous city, ruled by gangs. This attack is a grim reminder of the struggles Haiti faces. But David and Natalie weren’t just statistics.
They were friends, mentors, beacons of hope for the Haitian community. The third victim, Jude Montis, a respected Haitian church leader, worked closely with them.
This wasn’t just about killing; it felt like an attack on hope itself. Missionaries like them are lifelines for Haiti, providing education, healthcare, and a sense of community. Their loss leaves a huge gap.
Haiti’s future is uncertain, but there’s a flicker of hope. People like the Lloyds dedicating their lives show the world still cares.
These deaths highlight the dangers aid workers face. We need to do more to support them and hold governments accountable for safety.
The missionaries’ legacy lives on. Their compassion inspires us to honor their memory by supporting Haiti and fighting for a peaceful future for this beautiful, troubled nation. Haiti’s strength will endure. Their sacrifice reminds us to fight for a better tomorrow.
