Authorities in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa rescued a kidnapped American pastor during a deadly shootout on Tuesday at a house in KwaMagxaki, Gqeberha.
The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (HAWKS) released a statement announcing that an operation led by the agency "resulted in the successful rescue" of an American pastor who was kidnapped.
Though the news release did not name the pastor, 34-year-old Josh Sullivan, of Tennessee, was kidnapped by several armed, masked men last week at his church in the Eastern Cape.
A "high-intensity shootout" took place and three unidentified suspects were killed.
Sullivan was found inside the same car that the suspects were in, but he was "miraculously unharmed," police said, adding that he is "currently in an excellent condition."

AMEN!!
Miraculously? He had the hand of God on him the entire time!!!!!
Amen
And THAT'S the way to deal with terrorists. SO glad it was a rescue, not a recovery.
Amen. Amen.
Props to South African law enforcement for a successful rescue operation.
Yes!!! Praise God!
God protects fools and drunks.
Not well-known but pretty much universally true, the objective of a kinetic hostage rescue team is not to rescue the hostages, their primary mission is to kill all the kidnappers. Because in a world awash with IEDs and such, the only way to be certain the hostage-takers can do no more harm to the hostages is to render them lifeless.
So any hostage rescue with a positive outcome probably involves gunplay, hopefully all in one direction.
Praise the Lord!
Amen
Prayers answered!
Great!
I think things in society are becoming more advanced and complicated at an ever-increasing rate.
So the contrast between decent normal society and primitives like the monsters who kidnapped this missionary reverend is going to become ever-increasing.
They are becoming aliens in every normal country.
And they are as evil as they are arrogant. Devoid of introspection, it just won't ever occur to them that you can't just kidnap a pastor from a church. You can't toss a white commuter in front of a speeding subway train. Etc.
They will soon not fit in anywhere.
Amen. Praise God. Lots of prayers went up when this hit the news. God intervened.
That's some darn good shootin'!
