Pastor Jack Hayford's Grandson Kidnapped Yet Returned Safely Home
Foursquare missionary Kyle Bauer, the grandson of Pastor Jack Hayford, was kidnapped Thursday in Mexico, near Puerto Vallarta. The authorities worked together between the local police, the FBI, and the U.S. Embassy, the family and others in order to safely have Kyle returned to his family last week.
Charisma Magazine reported:
Bauer, 31, and his wife, Teresa, were appointed as Foursquare missionaries to Mexico in 2011 and were deployed in August 2012. Kyle has been a Foursquare-credentialed minister since 2003 and was ordained in 2006. The Bauers have four children.
"We are grateful to God for bringing Kyle safely back home to his wife and children," said Foursquare president Glenn Burris Jr., who has kept apprised of the situation at every turn. "The prayer support that permeated the past 24 hours is a testimony to the miraculous outcome of this story."
We are happy things have worked out for the family of Pastor Jack Hayford. We all know that it is very difficult to get a family member back home alive coming from Mexico.
