Shiu Yon Zhou spoke at Denver Bible Church today. Her testimony was incredible. She spoke about growing up in China and how her neighbor turned her in to the government for the crime of being pregnant, and how the government forced her to have an abortion. Her family helped her escape from China only to be put in prison by the US government for 5 years.
A female Christian prison guard preached the gospel to her and helped bring her to the Lord, that same prison guard risked her own job to allow Shiu Yon Zhou to speak with some pro-life activists who helped bring her story to the world. She has since testified in front of congress and has spoke on major talk show's all over the country. Our own pastor Bob Enyart helped her and her husband meet and even performed their wedding ceremony.
Some of Shiu Yon Zhou's story is featured at WorldNetDaily and I recommend that all of you read it. This is the type of story that just about everyone should be able to appreciate. It was such a blessing listening to her talk, her testimony was incredibly powerful, tragic, inspiring, shocking, and almost every other adjective I can think of.

The WND story starts like this....
| A survivor of China's forced-abortion policy is warning Americans they share the responsibility for that nation's holocaust of government-mandated death through their consumerism. The testimony comes from Shiu Yon Zhou, whose ordeal in which she lost the child who would have been her first-born has been played before Congress, on national television and in the media. But she spoke to WND today in light of the 2008 Olympics which are scheduled in Beijing and to counter statements being released by the Chinese government that the human rights situation, long deplored as one of the worst on record, is improving. Her story was revealed to WND in sometimes-halting English, as she still works to grasp the idiomatics of the language she now teaches to her three children, ages 6, 4, and 2, at home. There have been no significant changes in China's human rights, she said, since that day in 1993 when her neighbor reported to police that she appeared to be pregnant without authorization, and police officers broke down the door of her family's home to take her in shackles to a hospital where she was given a "pill" and locked up. After all, she was 18, in a "marriage" arranged by her grandmother, and pregnant even though the law said that couldn't happen until she was 23, she told WND. Before a physician could come to make sure the baby was dead, she said, her father bribed a nurse to look the other way and she jumped from a second-story window, then fled with some family members to escape China on a fishing boat with dozens of other women in similar condition. There were men, too, since those whose wives were found guilty in such cases often lost their jobs and homes as penalty. Weeks aboard the boat ended when U.S. authorities found the drifting vessel off the coast of Mexico and ordered it returned to China. She escaped that fate only because she was very sick, thought she still might be pregnant and was hospitalized in San Francisco. |
