Can we get a praise the Lord and a hallelujah up in here today?

This past weekend we reported a grim story out of South Africa where a Tennessee pastor who has been a missionary in the country for years was kidnapped at gunpoint during a prayer service.
As devastating as that was, we were just delivered an Easter week miracle as South African police have rescued Pastor Josh from his captors.
The South African Police Service said officers launched a rescue operation after receiving intelligence the pastor was being held by his abductors at a house in KwaMagxaki, another township in the city.
A rescue team was sent to the location, a police statement said, 'leading to a high-intensity shootout' that left 'three unidentified suspects' dead.
This operation went into Rambo mode really quickly, didn't it?

The rescue operation might have been botched when the cops were spotted and the kidnappers opened fire while trying to flee. But by God's grace the bad guys were killed and the good guys were able to rescue Pastor Sullivan completely unscathed.
