Interview with Jed Sy

I came across this documentary on Youtube, which includes segments of an interview with Jed Sy.

The documentary looks at the renovations to the Davao City Jail which have been sponsored by Gawad Kalinga, a religious outreach program in the Philippines.

Many in the United Church of God have been following the story of Jed, who is currently in prison in the Davao City Jail. Her story can be found in the October 30 video edition of About Our Father's Business.

Actually getting to see and listen to her speak definitely had an impact on me. I already knew her age, but I was still struck by how young she appears. We often pray for people we know and don't know, but I've always personally found it easier to pray for people I know, of whose situation I've had a first-hand glimpse. Most of us will not meet Jed in the near future, but this is probably the next best thing.

Jed has written two articles for United News Asia:

"Joy Behind Prison Bars" (May-June 2007)
"Reflections From Behind Bars" (July-August 2007)

She is reportedly writing another article which will probably also appear in the United News Asia.
