Two young Aussie women, enticed by faith and friendship, were welcomed into a community that was meant to make them feel safe and loved. They were soon exposed to the truth of the dangerous 'religious' group that is Providence. Branded as a religious movement, Providence has been operating in Australia since 1997. The group is accused of recruiting young women in local shopping centres and universities, then brainwashing them to travel to South Korea to become spiritual brides of self-professed 'messiah' Jeong Meong-Seok (JMS). 신앙과 우정에 이끌린 두 젊은 호주 여성은 자신들을 안전하고 사랑받는 존재로 느끼게 해 줄 것이라 여겨지는 한 공동체에 합류했습니다. 하지만 그들은 곧 '프로비던스(Providence)'라는 위험한 '종교' 집단의 실체를 마주하게 되었습니다. 종교 단체를 표방하는 프로비던스는 1997년부터 호주에서 활동해 왔습니다. 이 단체는 지역 쇼핑센터나 대학가에서 젊은 여성들을 포섭한 뒤, 이들을 세뇌하여 한국으로 데려가 자칭 '메시아'인 정명석(JMS)의 영적 신부로 삼으려 한다는 혐의를 받고 있습니다. 7NEWS Spotlight reporter Sarah Greenhalgh speaks with cult survivors Amy and Liz.
