Two U.S. missionaries were found slain in a rural area of the Caribbean
island that has long struggled with high rates of violent crime,
Jamaican police said yesterday.
Randy Hentzel, 48, and Harold Nichols, 53, were identified as the two
men in a statement by the Jamaica Constabulary Force. Their battered
bodies were found in bushes in separate areas of St. Mary parish. The
two men and their families did evangelism and Bible ministry and built
homes.
'We do not know who would do this or what their motivation was. These
men greatly loved the people of Jamaica and were greatly loved in
return,' said John Heater, executive director of Teams for Medical
Missions.
We are devastated to hear this news and will be praying for the Hentzels
and Nichols and Teams and the St. Mary's Parish and communities they
served in Jamaica,' Wendy Irwin wrote on a Facebook post from Teams.
