The Tennessee pastor kidnapped at gunpoint at a South African church — then rescued in a deadly shootout — was “upset” after learning soon after being saved that his beloved Volunteers lost their starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava.
Josh Sullivan, 45, was in captivity for a week in the city of Gqeberha when police arrived at the safe house where he was being held on Tuesday and got into a gunfight with his three kidnappers, ending with the suspects being killed and Sullivan “miraculously” unharmed.
The Maryville-based pastor was reunited with his family soon after being rescued and is now on his way back to East Tennessee.
