Wife of Minnesota missionary killed in ‘an act of violence’ in Africa arrested
Beau, wife Jackie Shroyer and their five children had been in “the remote bush” in the West Africa n nation since setting up a mission there in 2021.
Jackie allegedly promised $50,000 for the hit on her husband, and gave the guard $400 to help plan the attack in the remote bush area near the municipality Humpata, where Beau was helping to start a farm, according to press reports and the police. The Shroyers had been working for SIM USA, a North Carolina-based evangelical Christian organization which sponsored their youth ministry and has been overseeing missions around the world since 1893.

She told congregants in Minnesota that she helps feed 300 children in Lubango every week.Before they moved to Angola in 2021, the Shroyers had never lived abroad.
Others remembered Beau and his wife as deeply religious. Family friend Cleone Stewart said the family moved to Africa at Jackie’s urging. “Before I became a mother I saw pictures of children in extreme poverty,” Jackie said. “It just wrecked me. I need to go and do something and I began praying to God over the years. The only thing worse than lost children in the world is the lost children no one is looking for.”
“No matter how hard it is we want to go back,” said Jackie, looking markedly thinner in a July video of the family’s presentation at their church.
