Ind. group says 3 Haiti missionaries presumed dead

INDIANAPOLIS -- A church organization says that a minister from Indianapolis and two other missionaries are presumed dead from the earthquake in Haiti.

Free Methodist World Missions says a bishop held a funeral service over the weekend at the collapsed building for the three missing workers -- the Rev. Jeanne Acheson-Munos of Indianapolis, Merle West and Gene Dufour. The hometowns for West and Dufour weren't immediately announced.

The group says the minister's husband, Jack Munos, and fellow missionary Katie Zook of Arlington, Wash., are improving in intensive care at a Miami hospital.

The Munoses moved from Indianapolis to Haiti in 2004. Group spokesman John Hay Jr. says Acheson-Munos' desire was for Haiti to be transformed by God's love and grace.
