Chasing the Dragon
Chasing the Dragon: One Woman's Struggle Against the Darkness of Hong Kong's Drug Dens | Jackie Pullinger, Andrew Quicke
3 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
Inside Hong Kong was the infamous Walled City. Strangers were not welcome there. Police hesitated to enter. It was a haven of filth, crime, and sin. Prostitution, pornography, and drug addiction flourished. Jackie Pullinger had grown up believing that if she put her trust in God, He would lead her. When she was twenty years old, God called her to the Walled City. She obeyed. And as she spoke of Jesus Christ, brutal hoods were converted, prostitutes retired from their trade, and heroin junkies found new power that freed them from the bondage of drug addiction. Hundreds discovered new life in Christ. Chasing the Dragon tells the whole amazing story exactly as it happened. Equally amazing has been the reach of this ministry, now detailed in this updated and revised edition. From Hong Kong to the Philippines, Thailand, and beyond, the ministry that started with Jackie and her friends taking people in to live and care for them has continued and developed to form the present St. Stephen's Society. Readers will be inspired by this tale of trust and loving like Jesus.

..As he gained this terrible sense of his own sin he felt that he could no longer sit in front of god, he had to kneel..It was a near impossible sight of a Triad boss on his knees; In Chinese culture it is the most servile of positions&a gang leader lowered himself to no one!

Once you are a Triad ,your a Triad for life,even Hong Kong law courts accept that triad membership was binding forever.”I give up my right to those who want to follow Jesus”

Loving this book sooo much ,I had a little help from Google as I couldn‘t visualise the walled city,the city of darkness & once the most densely populated place on earth.33,000 people in the space of a football pitch🤯,the conditions were unfathomable&riddled with crime.

Interesting and encouraging story about how the author went to HK to serve other in need in the name of God. Amazing stories of the drug and gang world at that time and miraculous transformations through faith in the Gospel message of Jesus Christ.
