And I was so angry when I know that I may not stay in Hong Kong anymore. And I have to stay in another place where I don't have any friends and relatives and family. I was living in darkness. In 1987, someone shared with me a gospel. And he told me that Jesus loves me and he can change me in heaven. And one of them is a guy from New Zealand. And one is American. And also there are Chinese as well. But I was very skeptical. A person like me is too. There are so many fears. But I can see that they really care for me from their heart. And I feel very strongly for them. And I know that they do not look down on me. Because in all of my life, I was very much full of love and care. And I can see that they really care for me. I have two friends. And I have known them for over 20 years. And they tell me that Jesus can help them. And my two friends, their lives were changed. And so I began to believe without doubt. And I believe that Jesus can change them. He can also change the world. In 1987, I read a book about that. And the love of the brothers and some brothers really touched my heart and I can't really express it in words. And when I think about it, I don't cry. And even if people were... I've been served and I've been hit in my life, but I've never cried. But their love has melted my heart, which is simple. And after a period of time, I began to get healed. And by that time, I already knew that Jesus had raised me. And I feel that I have the hope. And in Macau, there are quite a number of drug addicts. And as I have received the healing of the Lord, I would like to... And among many of my friends, they have already died. And it is not because of Jesus, I think I would not be here and I deserve it anymore. And I feel my heart is burning. And about one and a half years ago, the Lord used me. He gave me an opportunity to serve Him. And I have the opportunity to share the gospel in prison. And in the beginning, there are very few who really come to the Lord. But as the Spirit led us, now up to this day, we have quite a number of brothers. And I have experienced that the Lord gave us a number of brothers and sisters. We have different backgrounds, different colors, different cultures. And this is not from human love. It is the love of Jesus. And after a certain time of our work with Jesus, it is over. But the death rate of drug addicts is very high. And all that I have lost before, He has given me back. And one like me has been living in sin, and God can change me. And no man can actually change me, but actually Jesus changed me. And when my family and my friends see the change in me, they accept me. Thank you. Today, when you see me standing here sharing your guilt, it is actually a miracle. In all, praise the Lord. ======================================================================== Video: https://sermonindex2.b-cdn.net/Rm2GllFcJXI.mp4 Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/jackie-pullinger/useful-for-the-master-part-2/ ========================================================================
