PRAY FOR HIS SAFE RETURN!
An American missionary who was abducted in the West African nation of Niger by suspected jihadists is still missing, sources close to the missing person told CBN News.
Kevin Rideout was taken from his home in Niger's capital in the middle of the night last week in a Toyota Corolla by three armed suspected jihadists, according to several reports.
Rideout is a pilot for the evangelical missionary agency Serving in Mission and serves with Concilium Inc., a ministry providing security resources to missionaries and persecuted Christians.
He was taken hostage from the capital city of Niamey, less than 100 yards from the presidential palace.
"At this point, Kevin Rideout has not been found. Open sources indicate Kevin's captors were headed toward Mali from Niamey," Scott Brawner, Concilium president, told CBN News in an emailed statement Monday.
