Rev. Phyllis Sortor, an American missionary, was freed from her kidnappers in Nigeria on Friday. Sortor was abducted at her school on Feb. 23 and her captors demanded almost $300,000 for her safe return. The pastor was in Nigeria for a missionary with the Free Methodist Church in Seattle. The church did not disclose what was done to secure Sortor's freedom. Sortor's main ministry was working with children and establishing schools in Nigeria, according to the church. She had previously spent six years serving in Rwanda.
