A 13-member missionary group had only planned to stay for a week in Haiti, but things took an unexpected turn when violent riots erupted in the Caribbean country in response to a fuel hike.
The small group of five adults and eight students had planned to leave on Friday, July 6. They were staying at a campus surrounded by gates and armed guards, on a trip coordinated through Mission of Hope Haiti, when they caught wind of growing unrest outside the walls protecting them.
