Hello XXXchurch staff. My name is Danée, I’m 20 years old and I’m from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. I was introduced to your ministry about a year and a half ago by my boyfriend Grant (now my husband of 9 months and counting!!). He told me about his struggles with pornography, showed me XXXwatch and put me on the accountability email. We were soon downloading podcasts and more recently have been reading some of the blogs on the website and listening to Dirty Little Secrets.
You guys need to know how encouraging your ministry is! The awareness you raise and all the resources available in dealing with pornography addiction is astounding! Thank you so much for being humble and following God’s calling! From all the hours spent filming, writing/editing books/blogs, creating software, working at porn shows, having porn & pancakes/pastries, working with volunteers and sponsors, dealing with rude people and criticism …and on and on… it is evident that you all have big servant hearts.
The unconditional love you show to the girls in the strip clubs, the tourists on the strip and to anyone you come in contact with is so uplifting. I believe God will continue to open peoples’ hearts to have the same love that you have for all who are directly or indirectly involved with the porn industry. Thank you for being the Christ-like example of what it means to love all kinds of people, no matter what they have done. Judgmental Christians are very discouraging to me and they do not make a very good name for those who are really trying to be like Christ!
My husband and I will continue to pray for those impacted from the ministry and those serving in it. We are also praying that in His time we can come down and volunteer in some way. Thanks again and be encouraged that there are people out there praying for you!
Blessings!
Danée and Grant
