Important Correction To Media Reports About Baptists Arrested In Haiti

VALLEY FORGE, PA (ABNS 2/3/10)?The 10 people arrested for child
trafficking in Haiti are not members of churches affiliated with
American Baptist Churches USA (ABCUSA). Some media sources have
labeled these individuals as American Baptists. While the people
involved are Baptists from the United States, they are not members of
the denomination known as ABCUSA.

ABCUSA currently has missionaries doing ministry in Haiti, but they
are not involved in this incident in any way.

ABCUSA members continue to pray for the victims of the earthquake and
all those working to aid Haitians during this difficult time.

American Baptist Churches is one of the most diverse Christian
denominations today, with 5,500 local congregations comprised of 1.3
million members, across the United States and Puerto Rico, all engaged
in God?s mission around the world.
