The frantic effort to rescue four Americans taken captive by a cartel in Mexico came after another friend who had traveled with them called the police.

Pastor Herbert Godwin echoed that message during a Wednesday prayer service at Word of God Outreach Ministries that drew about 40 people. Four candles were lit for the victims.
