[BGGMKLR]

Just heard that a pastor from Tennessee was kidnapped by masked gunmen while giving a sermon at a church in South Africa.

It first made news in Tennessee on Thursday or Friday, the day after the kidnapping.

Meant to do an OP asking if any of our RSA, or other African members have any details of where and why as our local news is sketchy on the details.

Last night's news said the kidnappers are asking for a ransom. The news media left out the amount.

This pastor played high school football with a good friend of mine.. they are very close…the friend owns an outdoors/hunting company and is very concerned about the lack of information available… if anyone in RSA has any information otherwise unavailable through typical news outlets, I’d appreciate hearing it..

The pastor is from Maryville, TN, a suburb of Knoxville.. my wife and I lived in Maryville for a few years while we lived in the Knoxville area (total of 10 years)..

Col. Chris Wyatt just reported that Sullivan was rescued from the abductors. Three criminals were killed by police forces in a vehicle in a “hail of bullets”. Pastor Josh Sullivan was also in the vehicle during the police assault and was uninjured. Praise Jesus!

If true that SAPS rescued the pastor; congrats to and chalk one up for SAPS and a job well done as the criminals received the justice they deserved.

Glad that he is now safe and sound.
