MENGFEI LI: From sunrise to sunset, gleaming

over the riverside, people share stories about Hong Kong,

and it's gaining the attention of the world.

Since 1997, Hong Kong has become the engine

driving the Chinese economy.

With a population of 7 million, the city

is the home to many international businesses

and a thriving tourists industry.

Susan is a church leader, who says Hong Kong and its people

are special to her.

INTERPRETER: I try to add value to the people around me.

We're all special in some way.

MENGFEI LI: Besides managing the church,

she's also actively involved in an important mission--

giving hope and guidance to Hong Kong prison inmates.

Hong Kong has been part of mainland China

for more than 20 years.

Most of us know that Christianity

is spreading rapidly in China.

Hong Kong has a more open religious freedom policy

than mainland China.

And that's why the prison ministry is only

possible in this part of China.

INTERPRETER: We designed a unique program called Onisemus.

The program is teaching those people

that God can change us inwardly, also outwardly.

We all made mistakes in life.

The critical part is to realize the mistakes

and get on the path that God has for us,

MENGFEI LI: For Susan, leading the ministry was not easy.

When many inmates were teenagers,

there were unaware that bad choices often

lead to severe consequences.

In 1998, Robson Law was arrested on drug charges

and imprisoned for 25 years.

INTERPRETER: The 25 years in prison was harsh.

I thought my life was done.

The choices that I made brought pain and trauma unto me.

I thought my life was washed away.

Life didn't mean anything to me back then.

MENGFEI LI: During his darkest moments,

Law I met a pastor from Susan's church,

who introduced him to Christ.

Law was deeply moved.

INTERPRETER: I was touched by God.

At the time I wasn't a believer and tried to commit suicide,

but I heard a voice saying, are you

really going to do stupid things and hurt your family again?

That voice brought me back.

And it was the voice of the heavenly Father.

MENGFEI LI: As Law studied the Bible,

he understood that God still had better plan for his life.

His circumstances didn't determine his future.

Only God had the final say.

In 2011, Law was released.

He immediately started to attend to Cunfun Association.

He became part of a church family

and received a new mission from the Lord.

INTERPRETER: God has fulfilled my dream of using sports

to spread the gospel.

He has called me to become a minister.

MENGFEI LI: Law's faith and passion for the Lord

moved his family members, too.

He prayed that his parents could come to church

and become Christians, too.

A church leader was deeply touched

by Law's transformation.

INTERPRETER: We want them to have

a job that they are good at, or even have

a great purpose of serving God.

These are all our goals.

MENGFEI LI: Today, Susan and the church

are making greater efforts, using the gospels

and creative ways to change inmates' lives.

They believe these people could also become

the children of God one day.

INTERPRETER: God doesn't want to break

any relationships, even when those people don't

seem lovable.

I also see that no matter how broken or twisted a life is,

when God picks it up, He really looks forward

to bringing back the greatness that was there

when creation began.
