Here are some posts from the girls working the Jesus Loves Porn Stars booth. THe guys will report tommorow. Enjoy.
I am grateful that God has chosen us all to serve him in this arena.
It felt really good to connect with the women working in this industry
And remind them of their TRUE value. I know God will continue this
Important
work through us and will bring light to all the disillusionment that
our world has come to know. Please continue to pray for ending the
exploitation of women and sexuality in our world .God Bless.Angela
I
am really at a loss…there are no words to describe all that has gone on
here, all the conversations, all the people, all the different emotions
I have experienced. All I can say is that any Christian who is feeling
discouraged or like God is not with them right now needs to get out
there and do something like this! I have never been so thankful and
honored to be in God’s awesome grip and that he would somehow want to
use me to tell other people that they can know Him too. I’m going to
have to write it all down later, but for now I just ask that everyone
pray for those people we touched this weekend that God would pierce
their hearts and call them to Him. In Praise,Diane
I have talked with a former monk, men and women who have straggled
in from the electronics convention, blatant perverts who came cameras
in hand to harass and demean the girls, young girls barely out of high
school, and girls who have been in the industry for years. To say the
least I have had many crazy and insightful discussions. I have walked
people through scripture explaining why I believe Jesus loves porn
stars (the person). Scripture throughout the books of Romans, James,
John, and others that explain we have all screwed up, been separated
from God, and while we were there he loved us so much that he sent his
son Jesus to die for us. I explained to many how its possible to begin
a relationship with God at any time. Hundreds of people thanked me for
explaining Christ and for their free Bible. But other than explaining
who Jesus is to more people these past couple of days than I had in all
of 2005, my highlight of our time here was meeting the girls and
telling them we were praying for them. The moment I told them this I
could see the walls and the act fall, and the thought that someone
would care about them enough to pray for them soften their eyes and
penetrate their soul. Every single one of them was sincerely grateful,
many giving us their real names and prayer requests. I am thankful that
God allowed me to see a small window into their soul, and to be a
vessel of love to his daughters.In His Grace,Kim
If I had to choose one word to describe this convention… it would be
devastating. It’s devastating how so many people at this show are so
shocked to hear of God’s love, it’s devastating the way the men here
touch and objectify these girls by asking them things like, “Can I
pinch your tit?” It’s devastating how gorgeous these girls are and they
don’t realize how precious they are, and that they are daughters of the
King. But it makes it all worth being here when we get to see the
reactions of the girls when we tell them we are praying for them and
that Jesus loves them. They are so excited about the message we are
telling because I think it gives them a little bit of hope in a world
that seems hopeless where guys only want them for their bodies and the
sexual pleasures they provide. On the back of the cards we put the
verse, “The King is enthralled by your beauty…” Psalm 45:11 and my hope
is that the verse touched the girls’ hearts and brought them a sense of
amazing worth. Words can not describe how thankful I am to God for what
He has done for me, for His incredible love, and that I am able to
enjoy this love everyday!!! ~Laci
Its hard to know where to begin when talking about these past few
days. To be completely honest, going into the week leading up to this
convention i was insanely nervous. Being this straight forward, open
and friendly with porn stars was something that all of a sudden seemed
so out of my league that i began questioning God and myself about why i
had ever felt called to be a part of this team. However it didnt take
long for God to hit me in the face with the harsh reality that its not
about me. It’s not about my comfort or anything that i may have had
planned. It’s all about him. And his love. And sharing that love. And
how simple is that?! It’s about walking up to a girl in a sparkling bra
and 8-inch heels to ask for an autograph so that i can tell her in
return that i am using it to pray for her. It’s about sharing the love
of God that i have in me to these hurting girls who are selling
themselves to anyone who will pay a buck. After the first few hours of
the first day i felt foolish for ever having doubted the power of God
in any situation. These girls are simply just my peers. They are young
and they have life to live!! They have hopes, dreams and plans for
their futures! It is absolutely heart breaking to see them wasting
these precious years by being feasted on by the eyes of their
employers, by men, media, and the flashes of the crowds that pass by
their booths for 9 hours every day. God’s love is a powerful tool and
it’s entirely unselfish. I feel so blessed to have been able to be a
part of this incredible outreach and allow God to help me set aside my
own desires and instincts in order to show his love to these girls.katie
