Family members said Abigail Toussaint, 33, and her husband Jean-Dickens, 33, were kidnapped in the Port-Au-Prince area on March 18.

The couple are members of the First Haitian Baptist Church of Pompano Beach, who posted a message asking for support and prayers.

The couple also has a child turning 2 next week.

A post on Change.org is asking for people to sign a petition encouraging the federal government to ensure their safe return, claiming the same action resulted in 17 missionaries being returned to America last year.
