Billy and Mary Stevenson’s journey of faith began in the back streets of Belfast’s Shankill Road but neither could have imagined where it would lead. In 1974 they exchanged their semi detached house for a rat infested hovel on the side of a Korean mountain.
While his wife toured the orphanages bringing food and clothes wrapped in words of love, Billy took God’s word to local army bases and prisons then, boarding a boat, he shared the same message of hope to a colony of lepers.
When Billy and Mary stumbled upon an abandoned baby girl their service was to expand beyond the Korean mission. At less than an hour old, the child touched the couple’s hearts and moved permanently into their lives. She has brought them an enormous amount of happiness but has also introduced them to a world of emotional pain.
