Editor's Note: The passage is the vision of a sister who used to be a prostitute. Now she has become a Christian, daughter of God. She is willing to spread the gospel of God even though she still cares about comments from other people. Her testimony and story are as follows:
(Continued: I)
Then I started my working life in Weinan City. I made a boyfriend there and followed him to Xi'an City. He seemed to be a man I could marry with. However, he had a relationship with another woman when he was on a business trip. We broke up and I was abandoned.
I bathed my cheeks for a whole week and wondered why our love stopped.
However, I knew that my life should continue so I attended a computer class and found a job. I changed my opinions of love. I thought no one would love a person forever.
Then I happened to enter a song and dance troupe after a successful interview. I didn't have any basic skills of dancing, but I grasped the techniques of modern dancing easily. I chose to stay in the group because the new friends there made me happy.
At that time, I wouldn't know that the following life was full of all kinds of changes.
Lose the direction and drift through life
In January 2007, I went from Xi'an city to Xia men City in Fujian Province with the song and dance troupe. We performed in a nightclub. It was the first time I had ever been to such a place.
At the beginning, we just gave a dancing performance, gradually some dancers became barmaids and prostitutes. After two months, the nightclub closed down due to its illegal business. Some dancers chose to go back to Xi'an. I had no direction of my life at that time. I chose to stay in Xiamen and work as barmaids with another two dancers.
My empty heart was full of desire and vanity. At first, I thought that chatting and drinking with guests was not a big deal. I was not well educated, but I could get money easily and quickly as a barmaid. I stayed in several nightclubs in Xiamen. My life was decadent.
At that time I didn't care about the comments from other people because I thought everyone has the right to choose their own way.
A guest who used to drink with me always invited me to play with him and his friends. They all drove a BMW.
His friends would also bring a beautiful girl. I knew that these girls and I were the same kind of people. He would give me a sum of money after the party with his friends and invited me to the hotel. I knew what that meant, but I refused him. At that time I still cherished my dignity. Nevertheless, he still asked me to keep the money.
The Bible says that you cannot covert what belongs to other people. However, I desired for all that didn't belong to me.
I met a beautiful girl from Yunnan who was also a barmaid in the nightclub. Later I was told that she was killed by her guest's friend.
Become slaves of money
I rested for a short time and stopped working in the nightclub. I spent all the money I had earned and contacted a previous friend who used to work as barmaids with me together. She introduced me to a large nightclub in Guangdong. I worked more than a barmaid there and started my business of prostitution. I lost my dignity for money.
I have seen the true face of all men in the nightclub. Some took drugs. Some even visited prostitutes with his grandfather and father. Some disgraced and humiliated us.
I was determined to keep single and never marry. I didn't understand the meaning and purpose of my life. I fill my empty with money and vanity.
No one told me that I was a sinner and close to hell at that time. I didn't know God can save me and I was created by him.

编者按:这是一个曾为妓女的姊妹为主做的见证,她如今得蒙进入神的国,在被拯救后还参与了教会事奉,尽管她还在乎别人的眼光,但她也愿意不断为主传扬福音。以下为她的见证全文:
1、再次被抛弃
打工的生活开始了,期间谈了一个男友并跟着他从渭南来到了西安。看似是要结婚的伴侣,相恋1年多后,在他一次出差外地时,我们的感情却被那边的第三者插足,我被他无情地抛弃了。后来整整一个星期每晚以泪洗面,不知自己哪里错,为什么爱不能继续?为什么要背叛抛弃我?
在那段时间过后,面对还要继续的生活,调整好自己报了一个电脑学习班,学习结束后找了一份工作,对于恋爱、感情,我定义了自己的观点,所有人都会不断的爱上另一个人,在恋爱感情中没有所谓的专一,男人也永远无法满足于只爱一个女人。
而我在换工作时期的一次偶然机会,无意面试进到了一个歌舞团。对于跳舞,我并没有什么基本功,亦不是从小练习舞蹈且专业的人。庆幸的是这里是以现代舞蹈为主不存在很严厉的基本功要求,我很轻松就掌握了。虽然与我原本找工作的方向不同,但我选择留在了这个团体里,因为有了一群新的小伙伴这让我很开心。
谁知道在这个开始的道路后面充满着各种变动,并且影响和改变了我的人生。
2、迷失方向,随波逐流
在2007年1月时跟着歌舞团从西安来到了福建厦门,在一家娱乐夜总会里表演。这是我第一次到这种地方。
我在这家夜总会里从仅仅只是跟着团体跳舞演出拿工资,到最后每晚以三姐妹组合花场演出并坐台陪酒拿小费,就在短短2个多月的时间。当时夜总会被停业整顿,歌舞团一部分人选择回西安,而我和其他两个女孩选择留在了厦门,没有方向的我们,被重新开业的夜总会负责人带着开始做起陪酒女。
看不清前方的道路,开始随波逐流。我被欲望和虚荣填满了空虚的心,成为陪酒女后觉得只是陪客人喝喝酒聊聊天就有钱拿,没有什么不好的,对于一个高中就辍学没有学历的我来说再没有比这来钱更快的了。我辗转于厦门的各个夜总会。生活更加堕落颓废,除了晚上在夜总会当陪酒女,其他时间就是回家睡觉、打网络游戏,没日没夜的和圈子里的朋友唱K玩乐。
那时我做陪酒女后,并不受世人眼光的影响而羞耻,认为每个人都有权利选择自己活着的方式,俗语说走自己的路,让别人去说吧。整天浑浑噩噩的活着。
记得有一个客人,我陪他喝酒,后来他便每次都来找我,并且他所要去的其他夜总会或者玩乐的地方,都会邀请我一起。他和他的朋友全部开着统一型号的宝马车,我想他和朋友们关系肯定非常好,这令我非常羡慕。当然他朋友身边也都会有一个女人陪伴,我明白,她们和我是一样的。见面结束时他都会给我一笔钱,并邀我和他去酒店,我知道这意味着什么,那时的我无法放下面子越过低线,便拒绝了他,但是钱却依然在我手中。圣经说不可贪恋别人的一切,可我却贪恋着不属于我的这一切。
还有一个云南女孩,长得很漂亮,和我在一个夜总会里做陪酒女,我们虽然不在一个小队,但平时在休息间也是有说有笑,并且有组合演出过。后来我离开这家转去另一家夜总会,听到一个姐妹说,和我们一起跳舞的那个云南女孩死了,就在她租的屋子里,好像是她陪酒的客人的朋友谋杀了她。
3、成为妓女,沦为金钱的奴隶
后来我休息了一小段时间,停止了在夜总会的陪酒工作。我花光了那时赚的所有的钱,中间交往过几个男人,但我几乎没有认真对待,或许对我来说只是感情上需要人关心和陪伴,实在是太空虚了。当我没有经济收入眼看要囊中羞涩时,我联系到了以前和我一起做陪酒女的姐妹,她叫我过去,在广东的一个大型酒吧。从那里开始,我便不再仅仅陪酒,而成为一个名副其实的出台妓女,她们都有出台,若不然赚的钱就会少很多。我丢掉当初在意的脸面,毫无羞耻的和大家一起向男人出卖着自己的身体换取金钱,彻底沦为金钱的奴隶。
在这里玩的男人和夜总会差不多,各式各样什么人都有,甚至爷孙三代一起来玩。还有带我去另一个酒吧玩通宵,包厢里全是吸毒的,我当时庆幸他并不吸,不然我不确定我能不能避免这场灾祸。相对的,我也遇到过劝我从良的客人,当时我就想劝别人从良为什么自己还来这种地方,叫小姐陪你睡;还有说你像他初恋对象的;若遇到不好的客人,会拿你不当人看,尊严什么的被他任意践踏。……在这里男人们无底限的放纵自己的淫欲,女人们则无底限的出卖自己身体赚钱。
我被金钱和爱慕虚荣的欲望锁链牢牢的拴住。在夜场里看清了所有男人的真面目,便打算一个人慢慢老去,决不嫁人。 我一直不明白活着的意义与目的,不明白我为什么会出生,用眼前的这一切来填补我空虚、迷茫的心。
没人告诉我,我是一个罪人,我在走向地狱,也没人告诉我其实有一位神,只有他能救我,并使我的心得到满足,我竟是他所造的,并且被赋予了被造的目的和意义。
