Porn Again

I'm really shocked to be writing this, but this LA Times story on outreach to the California sex industry is very good.

Heather Veitch left the sex industry in 1999 after it stopped being fun and she starting thinking about the consequences. Then she found God. Then she founded JC's Girls Girls Girls, a Christian ministry to sex workers affiliated with Sandals Church in Riverside, Ca. Why did she do it? "No one tried to reach me. That's what inspires me to share with others."

They have also come under some criticism for their tactics. The women pay for private lap dances from strippers in order to discuss spiritual things with them. They go to adult industry conventions and hand out bibles wrapped in Holy Hottie t-shirts. Most importantly, they do not emphasize leaving the sex industry. Instead they just want to get the girls to know Jesus with the belief that leaving the industry will follow.

Sounds like they know what they're doing: seeking and saving the lost. Via GetReligion.

UPDATE: No this does not mean I want to do "evangelism" as part of my Bachelor Party, as one coworker has already suggested...
