Adji Desir's family turns to prayer

By Tami Osborne, WINK News

IMMOKALEE, Fla. - Its the fourth night 6-year-old Adji Desir has been missing from home.

As hundreds of deputies and volunteers search for the little boy, his family is turning to prayer.

Adji's mother and grandmother joined friends and family Tuesday evening inside the home at Farm Worker's Village, where Adji was last seen Saturday night.

Even though four days of searching have turned up no signs of the little boy, his mother believes he is alive out there somewhere.

"He's okay. I believe that," Maria Nadia says.

She says she is very thankful for all of the support she's received from the community in the search for her only son. Right now, she says its prayers she needs the most.

"I need everybody to pray for me, for my family, for Adji. Just give Adji back," Nadia says.

Friends of the family say they believe God knows where Adji is and will help him find his way home.

"Nothing's impossible to God. God knows where he is now and we believe God will, we can get Adji back," Pastor Andre Mezirus says.

The Collier Sheriff's office has searched a 12 mile radius in the Immokalee area with no signs of Adji.

On Wednesday, they plan to evaluate their search so far, and decide what direction to move in next.
