This was an incredible project. The best part about it has to be the ongoing relationships that Jessica is building on behalf of the ministry and Christ. Many people struggled with the concept leading up to the project cause they couldn’t wrap their minds around the idea of loving prostitutes through giving a huge gift that makes their ever day lives better. From first hand experience I can tell you that the gift was received as tangible expression of how great God’s love is for them and for all of us.

Took another crazy trip for StripChurch.com with those crazy gals from GirlfriendIT.com — we are looking at putting together a very unique ministry trip for ladies. This trip had us starting the morning out EARLY (text messages began around 5:30am). My compadre Stephen & I picked up Patty & Lisa from the airport in the StripChurch bus (have you seen it yet?).
We swapped the bus & stephen for Craig and a scion and headed 4 hours to nowhere. Do you know where Ely, NV is? I didn’t think so. Ely is home to the oldest legal brothel in the state of Nevada. There are quite a few words that could describe the experience: weird, interesting, depressing, run down, desolate, removed from ‘normal’ life. Our mission for the day had 2 objectives.
1) Build relationships between StripChurch, GirlFriendIT and the owners of the brothel.
2) Scout a new kind of ‘missions trip’ for a group of ladies – it will be a make over (of sorts) to bring life, love, hope and grace to the gals who live in very bad conditions.
The controversy: Should any time, relationship and money be invested into renovating the living conditions for prostitutes working in a brothel? Your opinions and thoughts will be intriguing. The mission will chart on. Look for the trip near October.
