Yes, Amen to what Swordbearer said. Thank God there are some TRUE Christian pastors in the black community such as Reverend Childress, Rev. Johnny Hunter, Rev. Arnold Culbreath, Rev. Jesse Lee Petereson, Bishop Curtis Kelley, and countless others who are taking a stand against the legal black genocide taking place in our country. No Christian of any color in good conscience can support Obama. www.blackgenocide.org.

When I left the sex industry, I had to go it alone and it was very lonely and difficult making that transition. I even ended up homeless for awhile. Now I'm grateful to see that more and more ministries like Heather's are active in reaching out. Recently I learned that the strip club where I worked is now being visited by the wonderful people from www.iamatreasure.com. I knew women who went into porn and it is so sad, you could see the light go out of their eyes. And so many women in the sex industry get stuck there, with no seeming way out. Praise God that is changing thanks to these people. My full testimony is at www.savedfromstripclubs.org.

I'm a former stripper and as a convert to the Catholic faith, I observe the teachings of the Catholic Church on dressing modestly. so I don't dress like Heather any more and I do consider some aspects of her look an occasion of sin for men. That being said, I am deeply impressed by her work and the film, which I recommend everyone to see. She and other former sex workers also running ministries like JC's Girls are truly doing the Lord's work. My testimony is on www.savedfromstripclubs.org. God bless.
As a former stripper who was saved from the sex industry by the Lord Jesus Christ, I applaud the work of Heather, Annie and the growing number of ministries like theirs. Yes, there is always room for improvement, but remember, we are broken vessels and God uses us even with our imperfections. It is hard for me to criticise them too harshly becasue I for one have never gone into a porn convention or a strip club to try to help these people. But I can tell you that this is not an easy population to get to. They are in complete darkness and the evil one has them in his clutches. They are wounded, confused, and deceived. Go to my website with my testimony at www.savedfromstripclubs.org or check out the book I wrote with my husband at www.aboyfromcapecod.com to learn about how I with my husband managed to escape this dark and dangerous world. I don't know about Craig Gross's ministry as he is a former porn addict and he is walking a thin line there between helping people and feeding his addiction. Should an alcoholic drink in bars while sharing the gospel with other drinkers? Should any man, for that matter, attend a porn convention, for any reason? Again, Paul's admonition against such activities.
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
