He has been missing since 22 November and is believed to have been kidnapped by an as yet unidentified person or group, reports AllHeadlinesNews.

Pastor Brash is a missionary with a Baptist church and is not believed to have returned to his home in Libertad village, Butuan City. The last sighting of Brash was when he was on his way to a friend's house in Bukidnon.
