What would you do if your brother was recruited into a Taiwanese gang? What if you knew the gang member who recruited him? What if you knew the recruiter ended up in prison for a 14 year sentence for kidnapping and robbery? Well, one woman, Ruth Chen, was in that situation. And the gang member’s name was David Lu. What she did was write letters to him in jail and shared the gospel with him. And through a sequence of events, David eventually turned to God. And now he is a pastor and David and Ruth are married.
