Several of the women Samaritana has helped have in fact been rescued by other groups or ministries from bar/brothel prostitution in Malaysia, where they ended up after being deceived or betrayed by recruiters and traffickers. One of them recounts that after reaching a point of need and desperation, “I accepted any job that I can get, even one that is not pleasing to God. I went to Malaysia to better provide for my family.” Amazingly, however, this sister adds, “There I encountered God and started living in a new life.”
