An American missionary couple, Davy and Natalie Lloyd, along with the local director of Missions in Haiti Inc., Jude Montis, were tragically killed in Haiti. The incident occurred in the community of Lizon in northern Port-au-Prince after the couple had left a youth group activity at church.
The Lloyds, who were full-time missionaries with Missions In Haiti, had dedicated themselves to serving the people of Haiti. They were described as selfless individuals who gave everything for the betterment of others. The organization, founded by Davy's parents, David and Alicia Lloyd, focuses on providing care and education to children in Haiti, a country plagued by poverty and violence.
The attack took place amidst the backdrop of escalating gang violence in Port-au-Prince, where criminal groups control a significant portion of the capital city. The tragic event has left the families of the victims devastated and mourning the loss of their loved ones.
The bodies of Davy and Natalie Lloyd have been recovered and are being transported back to the United States with the assistance of U.S. authorities. Efforts are underway to secure the necessary permits and documents to bring the bodies home.
A fundraising campaign has been initiated to support the Lloyd/Baker family with the costs associated with repatriating Davy and Natalie's remains. The outpouring of support and generosity from the community reflects the impact that the Lloyds had on those around them.
This heartbreaking incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by missionaries and humanitarian workers in volatile regions. The legacy of Davy and Natalie Lloyd, as well as Jude Montis, will live on through the lives they touched and the work they dedicated themselves to in Haiti.
