He's endured more than 20 lawsuits, a police raid on his church and home, and finally an arrest. Today, Pastor Hyun-bo Son resides in a prison cell.

Since 1993 Pastor Son has preached at Segero Church in Busan, South Korea.

"When my father started serving at Segero Church, there were only around 20 people. And now, weekly, there are over 4,000 people," Chance Son told The Western Journal in a phone interview.
