The 700 Club has been reporting on the deeply concerning detention of Pastor Son in South Korea, who has now been held for nearly three months on what legal experts and supporters describe as minor election law charges. As covered in their reporting, Pastor Son’s family, church elders, and congregants gathered in prayer during his court hearings, questioning why bail has been denied and why prosecutors are seeking an unprecedented one-year prison sentence. Many believe this case is less about election law and more about silencing a pastor who boldly opposed legislation that could criminalize biblical preaching and restrict religious expression, making his arrest a sobering sign of increasing pressure on Christian leaders and faith communities.

At Good Call Ministries, we are standing in prayer for Pastor Son’s immediate release, for strength and peace for his family, and for the preservation of religious freedom in South Korea and around the world. This case is a powerful reminder that freedom of speech and freedom of religion must be actively defended, even in nations long viewed as democratic allies. We join The 700 Club and believers worldwide in calling for justice, accountability, and a unified response from the global Church to protect the right to worship, speak truth, and live out faith without fear of political retaliation.
