An American church-planting missionary was abducted at gunpoint while leading a prayer meeting at his church in South Africa on Thursday, police say.

Pastor Josh Sullivan was kidnapped from Fellowship Baptist Church in Motherwell, near the coastal city of Gqeberha, late Thursday.

"It is alleged that while a sermon was conducted at the church, four armed and masked male suspects entered the church," police said in a statement, according to Vanguard. "They robbed two cell phones and then took the 45-year-old male pastor with them and fled the scene."

The husband and father of six has served as a missionary in South Africa since 2018, according to his family's online biography page.
