Coerced Into Prostitution – but Jesus Heard My Prayers | Ilona Miler

In an interview about her book, "A Woman of Many Names: My Journey From Sexual Exploitation to Freedom," Ilona Miler explains that returning to Jesus motivates her to share her past so God can make a triumph from it and give hope to exploited women. She recounts being trafficked by a “lover boy” who isolated and manipulated her into prostitution, her suicidal despair and a providential encounter that kept her alive, being forced to work through pregnancy and giving up her baby for adoption. Decades later, after praying and “putting it in God’s hands,” she found her daughter in 2019 via an online search linked to a restaurant, reuniting with her family and learning she has four great-grandchildren. Miler also describes childhood trauma with a rage-filled grandfather, being stabbed by a client in Marseille, her escape from her pimp, and later ministry with drug-addicted and prostituted women in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Vienna.00:46 Why Share the Story02:24 The Blessing and Family Hope03:09 Searching for Her Daughter04:04 A Prayer Answered in Vienna05:57 Found Through the Restaurant07:27 Returning to Spain in Victory08:49 The Loverboy Trap Explained09:45 Isolation and Manipulation13:22 Suicidal Despair and a Stranger’s Hope14:28 Pregnancy Alone and God’s Provision16:30 Reunited With Children and Faith17:48 Childhood Wounds and Grandfather’s Rage21:09 Grandfather Dies Freedom22:09 Money Friends And Hippies23:05 Stabbed By Client25:14 Hospital Shame And Mercy27:35 Escape Plan And Germany29:51 No One Chooses Prostitution32:15 Return To Jesus35:14 Serving Women Worldwide36:36 Lives Changed By Ministry38:45 Real Name Real Freedom
