"Kenneth Elliot and his wife, Jocelyn, ran a hospital in Djibo, Burkina Faso that held 120 patients. He was known as the "Doctor of the Poor" and "Savior of the Sahel" because he didn't charge for his services a surgeon. But the greatest challenge of his life was just on the horizon.
"In January 2016, the hospital closed down when the couple were kidnapped by Al-Qaeda. Thankfully, Jocelyn was let go the next month, but for Elliot it was a much different story. He was held against his will for seven years."
