Daniel Savala, a 72-year-old Christian missionary whose prominence within an Assemblies of God college ministry earned him the title 'holiest man alive' from some pastors, pleaded guilty to sexually abusing two boys over decades. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison; investigators have linked him to additional cases in the Brazos Valley region. The case exposes a pattern where institutional warnings about his predatory behavior were ignored for years, allowing abuse to continue unchecked.
