Jacqueline Bryony Lucy ‘Jackie’ Pullinger, MBE[3] (born 1944) is a British Protestant Christian charismatic missionary to Hong Kong and founder of the St Stephen's Society.
Unable to find support from missionary organizations, she then sought advice from Richard Thomson, a minister.
[4]: 33 She found work as a primary school teacher in the Kowloon Walled City, which in the 1960s was not policed and consequently had become one of the world's largest opium producing centres, run by Chinese criminal Triad gangs.
Later she established a youth centre that helped the drug addicts and street sleepers inside the walled city.
