The remaining members of a U.S. missionary group called Christian Aid Ministries, who were captured in October in Haiti, have been set free, according to the Associated Press. 

“We glorify God for answered prayer—the remaining twelve hostages are FREE! Join us in praising God that all seventeen of our loved ones are now safe,” the group said in a statement. “Thank you for your fervent prayers throughout the past two months.”

On Oct. 16, the missionaries were captured by the 400 Mawozo gang, including five children in a group of 16 U.S. citizens and one Canadian. Additionally, their Haitian driver was abducted. 

According to the Associated Press, the leader of the 400 Mawozo gang demanded $1 million per person and threatened to kill the hostages unless authorities did what he told them to do. 

It is unknown whether anything was paid or what the efforts were to release the hostages. 

In November, two of the hostages were released and three more followed earlier in December, according to the Associated Press.

“Today is the day we have been hoping for, praying for, and working so hard to achieve. I want to thank members of the hostage negotiation team for their diligence in securing the safe release of all the hostages,” Michigan Rep. Bill Huizenga said on Twitter. “This is a great day for families in Michigan and across the nation who have been worried about the safety of their loved ones.”
