Indianapolis - A missionary from Indiana was killed and her husband seriously hurt in the earthquake in Haiti.

Free Methodist World Missions reported on their web site that Rev. Jeanne Acheson-Munos is one of three missionaries with the church that had not been located and are "now presumed not to be alive." Her husband, Jack Munos, and another missionary are in intensive care at a Miami hospital. He is reported to be stable and recovering.

"These three individuals gave their lives in service to the Haitian people whom they loved deeply," the statement on the web site read.

Rev. Acheson-Munos and her husband have been career missionaries to Haiti with the church since March 2004. The couple taught at Haiti's Bible school, the Institut Biblique Methodiste Libre.

"Together, they worked alongside the national church to develop and strengthen the conference, pastors, church leaders and members," the statement continued. "Jeanne's deepest desire was that Haiti, the Pearl of the Antilles, would shine again."
