A Haitian judge will hear the case of 10 Americans accused of unlawfully trying to remove 33 children from Haiti. All 10 are Southern Baptist Convention members in Idaho, including one pastor. "They went over to help," said Rob Lee, executive director of the Utah-Idaho Southern Baptist Convention. "I really don't believe they had anything less than perfect motives."
Communication has made it difficult to get the full story. "They were at the border Friday night and were told they needed one more piece of paperwork," said Clint Henry, pastor of the 500-member Central Valley Baptist where five of the detained Christians go to church. "They returned to Port-Au-Prince to get that paperwork and that's when they were detained," he added to give emphasis that the group was not trying to flee with the children.
