Christian Stripping

This ministry to those involved in the sex industry is encouraging and seems to be legitimate. I have heard of other ministries who are reaching out to those addicted to pornography, but am not sure I agree with how they go about doing that. This one seems to be one that is caring and is working...

An excerpt from their web site:

"The ministry is about teaching churches not to be judgmental. Our church has made a commitment to not judge people who come through the door -- not on the way they dress, not on how they look, and not on their past. There are people who would like to go to church and would like to talk to God, but feel like they've done too much. My main goal is to let them know that they have not done too much. That our God is a forgiving God. We're just supposed to be messengers to let them know that God loves them.

"We want to have porn stars and strippers come to our church. How do you do an ad for that?“

I don't think you want to know how you do an ad for that. haha

This type of ministry is actually quite old. Churches have been ministering and offering a way out to people in the industry for a long time without spending tithes on lap dances.

I have to say, at least they are being wise to send other women into the strip clubs to talk to the women, and not sending men. I don't know if using moderated sex appeal as an entryway into reaching the lost is the best way or most biblical way to do it... but I'm not from that culture, so I don't consider myself an authority on this. If the true Gospel is being preached, there is something to be rejoiced in at least (Philippians 1:18)
