Vegas Update #2

As the ministry ideas are still forming, we wanted to share a little bit more with all of you about our plans:

-We plan to have a significant outreach to those working among the sex industry in Vegas. We will have an apartment or house of females; multiple houses possibly some day. We are looking for women who want to be used by God and use the gifts and talents that He has given them to reach out to those in the sex industry in Las Vegas. We don't want to put all of this out online but if you are between the ages of 18-30 and feel that working with people amongst the sex industry is for you please email us at vegas@xxxchurch.com with some information about yourself and we will let you know more of the game plan. We have three gals making the move with us as of now that are beginning this outreach

-We want to target the hundreds of thousands of tourists to Las Vegas every week. We want to especially target those on business that are here midweek. We will use two websites to promote this. http://www.stripchurch.com and http://www.xxxchurch.com/lasvegas.
 
The goal is to pick the biggest conventions that we want to target. We don’t target cosmetology because that is not our market. We target MEN which includes but is not limited to business men, builders, truckers, dads, leaders and husbands who don’t plan on messing up their lives but easily can when in town. We pick those events. We don’t have to be open 52 weeks a year. We propose doing three things for each convention:

1. We have a booth at their show. We would send a team of people to a convention to meet the people, give away a "Jesus loves You" Bible. We meet people and let them know who we are and make ourselves available to them. This has been a huge success for XXXchurch by going into the conventions and meeting people there.

2. We have a morning session "church service" no smoke machine, glitz or glam just a room on site with chairs, a projector, a guy on a guitar and a message. We offer prayer, encouragement and a stay the course type talk that includes “we are here for you…" We will have a phone number that will be available 24/7 that will go to a pastor on staff that will be willing to talk to people at anytime of need.

3. We have an evening session somewhere cooler. The night time/evening gathering is at a sports bar, lounge or somewhere recognizable. A hang out so to speak depending on the convention, the event could change locations and structure. During a porn show, we would bring in some former porn stars and testimonies from people to share.

The website will have a ton of resources on it and the address is marketed to people in hotels which include ads around town. We hope to get hotels to list us in their room directory, ads on TVs, all sorts of things could be developed to drive people to the website so people can get a hold of us and watch/download something or just be encouraged. We could do some great things around town just promoting a website.
 
We are currently looking to hire three full-time people for the Vegas project. One female who will oversee the female staff. A full-time person to help us raise the money and spend more time with supporters and one full-time lead pastor for XXXchurch Las Vegas/Strip Church.

There are currently five men who serve on the Fireproof Ministries Board of Directors. They are located in California, Ohio, Michigan and Las Vegas. If you would like to sit down with anyone from the board to discuss this new ministry in greater detail we would love the opportunity to do that. Send an email to vegas@xxxchurch.com or call us at 702-974-1690.

One last thing. We have a new mailing address, however the Grand Rapids one will still work for a short time if you did mail something there. We will have new envelopes and letterhead in the next month or so.
