Davy and Natalie Lloyd, founders of Missions in Haiti Inc., tragically lost their lives in Haiti due to escalating gang violence. The couple, aged 23 and 21, were ambushed by armed attackers on the mission's compound. David Lloyd, Davy's father, had recently left Haiti for Oklahoma, leaving his son and daughter-in-law to manage the mission's operations.
The first attack occurred when members of the Terre Nwa/Terre Noire gang ambushed them as they exited the mission church with children. Davy was tied up and assaulted, while the assailants looted the property, taking away vehicles, equipment, and money, including the week's payroll. After the initial gang left, a second group from nearby Canaan invaded the compound, barricading themselves in the Lloyd's house.
Tragically, the second gang breached the defenses and killed all three occupants. The tragic deaths of Davy and Natalie Lloyd underscore the dangers faced by missionaries in regions afflicted by violence, leaving behind a devastated community.
