South African police have rescued a kidnapped American pastor "miraculously unharmed" following a deadly shootout, authorities said on Wednesday.
Josh Sullivan, 45, was seized by armed men last week as he led a prayer service at his church in Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape Province. He was rescued in the same city on Tuesday, South Africa's elite police unit Hawks said in a statement.
Three suspects were killed during "a high-intensity shootout" as law enforcement officers approached a vehicle at a location where Sullivan was being held, police said.
"The victim was found inside the same vehicle from which the suspects had launched their attack. Miraculously unharmed, he was immediately assessed by medical personnel and is currently in an excellent condition," police said.

What a wonderful first headline for me to read this morning! Glory to God!!
Only three?
Thanks be to God.
The others ran too fast.
I was so relieved when I read this - I figured he’d either never be found, or his dead, mutilated body found.
Now, get out of SA NOW. No White person should travel there and all Whites left should take up Trump’s offer.
It will be interesting to see if he and his family remain there.
South Africa has become a post apocalyptic nation.
If he stays he deserves whatever happens to him
Amen 🙏🏻!!!!
