As missionaries to the Kuna Indians in Púcuro, Panama, Dave and Nancy Mankins were living their dream. After seven years of learning the culture and ministering among the Kuna, the Mankinses had found a home in this small village. Then in one terrifying moment their dream was shattered. On January 31, 1993, Colombian terrorists burst into their home and captured Dave, along with fellow missionaries Mark Rich and Rick Tenenoff. Helplessly, their wives watched in horror as the three men were seized at gunpoint and taken into the jungle. In this riveting story, Nancy Mankins collaborates with the other two wives to create a complete account of the events surrounding their husbands’ abduction. From their first day as missionaries in Púcuro to the agonizing years of working tirelessly with NTM to gain their husbands’ release, Hostage is the inspiring account of the women’s courage and faith that continues to sustain them through impossible circumstances. |
