Jackie Pullinger
Jacqueline Bryony Lucy ‘Jackie’ Pullinger (1944–present). Born in 1944 in London, England, Jackie Pullinger is a British missionary and evangelist renowned for her work in Hong Kong’s Kowloon Walled City. After graduating from the Royal College of Music, specializing in the oboe, she felt called to missions at 22 but was rejected by organizations. A dream and a minister’s advice led her to board a boat to Hong Kong in 1966 with just $10. There, she taught music and began ministering in the lawless Walled City, notorious for drugs and triads. In 1981, she founded St. Stephen’s Society, aiding thousands of addicts through prayer-based rehabilitation, chronicled in her book Chasing the Dragon (1980). Pullinger’s charismatic ministry emphasizes the Holy Spirit’s power, leading to countless conversions and transformed lives. Awarded an MBE in 1988, she continues her work in Hong Kong and beyond with her husband, John To. She said, “God wants us to have soft hearts and hard feet.”

Sermon Transcription
They do not let me in. But the New Zealand government actually granted me the visa to come here. So, I'm going to show you how it's done. We are the church. We are the Bible. God is great, He is great. I have chosen you because I love you. And I have chosen you because you trust me. Yes, you are my wife. Yes, you are my church. But you are these because I gave my life for you. You are these because I shed my blood for you. And I give it because I love you. Because of your weariness and your heaviness. For I'm speaking to you of my love and my faithfulness to you. God's love, which you have not divided up towards me. And as I'm giving myself to you, so I want you to give yourself to me. And as you give up your heart, I take mine. So will you see my purposes, my attachments. So will you see my splendour amongst you. And in all that, as your fear, you cannot stake my love for you. You cannot stake my faithfulness to you. And please have no fear. I want you to know my love. I want you to know this joy. So that I can be, so that I can be, joy. Me and my son are friends. But father, I need this money. And everything I've got around my waist is lost.
