PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - A group of 10 American Baptists were being held in the Haitian capital Sunday after trying to take 33 children out of Haiti.

The church group, most of them from Idaho, allegedly lacked the proper documents when they were arrested Friday night in a bus along with children from 2 months to 12 years old who had survived the catastrophic earthquake.

Pray for them! They are still brothers & sisters in the Lord... and they are Americans!

Damn. I guess this happened last week, but I was too busy to notice.
