One woman's struggle against the darkness of Hong Kong's drug dens.
Über die Autorinnen und Autoren:
In 1966 Jackie Pullinger went to Hong Kong on a one-way ticket and arrived knowing no one with just $100 HK in her pocket. She lived and worked in Kowloon's notorious 'Walled City' and saw the remarkable power of God working in the lives of the marginalised. The work grew, and by 1981 Jackie had set up the St Stephen's Society, providing rehabilitation homes for recovering drug addicts, sex workers and gang members.
The charity's work has been recognized by the Hong Kong government who donated the land for the rehabilitation homes and thousands of people in Hong Kong and further afield have had their lives transformed in miraculous ways.
Jackie's story is told in her book Chasing the Dragon and she still lives in Hong Kong and runs the St Stephen's Society.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Until it was pulled down, the Walled City was Hong Kong's most foreboding territory. It was a lawless place, dominated by the Triads, and which the police hesitated to enter. Strangers were unwelcome. Drug smuggling and heroin addiction flourished, as did prostitution and pornography, extortion and fear. When Jackie Pullinger set sail from England in 1966 she had no idea that God was calling her to the Walled City. Yet, as she spoke of Jesus Christ, brutal Triad gangsters were converted, prostitutes quit, and Jackie discovered a new treatment for drug addiction: baptism in the Holy Spirit. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR001238710
