Last month our missionary friend Jay in Mexico braved the Guadalajara porn show. Here are his thoughts on the show.

J.R.

Ok, so I am not about to fabricate some incredible unbelievable story
to try to impress you guys. It is not like there are thousands upon
thousands coming to Christ through my life or ministry down here just
yet. I say “just yet” because my faith for this place is BIG – and it
grows bigger every day! But when I walk the streets of Mexico, I no
longer see this place from a tourist’s perspective anymore.

With no WEBSITE, no PORNMOBILE, no PODCAST, no Spanish JESUS LOVES PORN
STARS BIBLES, no T-SHIRTS, no HORN GUY, no MONEY FOR PROPAGANDA, no ANY
OF THAT STUFF – my girlfriend and I, along with another lady and
together with the support and prayers of a local church down here… we
decided to go to the EXPO SEX SHOW 2006 this past weekend here in
Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. It was beautiful! We even had the
privilege of being considered worthy to be attacked and criticized by
some churches for our efforts down here to reach out to people who are
trapped by sin and addiction. Why the church would get freaked out
about that… I don’t have a clue! Jesus help em, right? Sheesh!

All in all we passed out 500 cards that we printed up in a
XXXCHURCH.COM kind of scandalous presentation offering hope and a way
out for those who find themselves struggling with this form of
addiction. Like I said before we have already had a small response –
but I believe for MORE! There has got to be a few individuals who kept
that card, and tucked it away somewhere and who at some point in time
in a moment of depression, despair or hopelessness will reach out and
seek help. That is where we come in!

In addition we had the wonderful opportunity to personally share the
love of JESUS with a few key PORN STARS. One in particular who had
already been contacted by XXXCHURCH at EROTICA L.A. I won’t mention
this person’s name but GOD KNOWS who they are. Would you please pray
for that person as well? In just 4 short years and at the age of 21
this individual has already appeared in more than 100 adult films and
shoots porn 3 – 4 times per week. After checking out their MySpace site
– even there it is openly confessed that this person is “stressed out”
because of the porn industry. I have so much faith and conviction in my
heart that God is about to do something incredible in this individual’s
life! You see, God doesn’t take me from my country and put me in some
other part of the world and take another person involved in this
industry and put them in front of me giving me an opportunity to share
a specific word of HOPE with them if it is not because He has a
calculated plan to reach them and transform their world drastically.
That’s just where my mentality is at – so let’s believe God together
for this, ok?

This is not the only area or people group that I am targeting in my
life or within this ministry, but I can definitely say that God has
breathed a fresh burden within me to do more. I would consider a 25,000
plus strong show in the country’s second largest city a success. How
sad, right? I don’t know how or with who, but next year or the next
time there is a show… we need more. We need to create more of a scandal
– we need Spanish Bibles with a Spanish JESUS LOVES PORN STARS SLOGAN
ON THE FRONT (even stickers would be ok). We need a booth – we need a
website – we need a world-wide prayer and fasting team – we need better
planning, more preparation, and a better plan in order to do follow up.
We need T-shirts; we need a Spanish Version of Wally the Weiner. We
just simply need to do more!

With Much Love and Prayer from GUADALAJARA, MEXICO,

Sincerely,

Jayson P. Szymaszek
