XXXChurch: The Industry Blog
Last week a few of us flew over to Sydney, Australia. That sounds so simple and easy to fly 7,000 miles away. This was the 5th time we (XXXchurch) have been down under. Our third time we have exhibited at one of the Adult Expos. In addition to holding up a booth at the show, we held a Strip Church training for 15 women from all over Australia and Craig spoke at three different churches on...
4 years and I am still amazed every time we do this. Every year we run out of Bibles. Every year there are amazing, only God could do, connections with people. Every year we are blessed by willing people who give of their prayers, time and money to have this outreach happen. I will say that this year I was surprised by how many Christians were at the show. There seemed to be a lot more than I...
A rookie at the porn show
Months turned to weeks, weeks turned to days, days turned to hours - all the time I'd spent thinking about my first mission trip, praying about it, asking questions of people who'd been on the trip before, reading a few books that pertained to this heavy topic of pornography. I was very excited to participate in my first mission trip, and join the awesome team at...
With all that happened because of hurrican Sandy leading up to the Edison exxxotica show, I really didn't think there would be an event that weekend. However, even porn shows 'must go on' so our team went too. Like years past, this team was stacked with locals who really care to connect with their neighbors and share Jesus in an unconventional enviroment.

It's so great when God catches us...
FINALLY! Yes, finally, we took a team back to Toronto for the "Everything To Do With Sex" show... We had been praying for a team to step forward and finally a great crew of women from Southbrook church courargeously drove from Indiana to spearhead this ministry. Hear about the show straight from them:

I absolutely loved being part of this outreach. I loved the confusion on people's faces...
This was our very first time in Chicago for the eXXXotica show. We were so excited to have the opportunity to impact the lives of new people in a new city. Chicago was quite unique because we had a team of nearly ALL women. We had eleven young ladies from California, two from Ohio, and one from Arizona. Craig, and our Twitter guy, Steve Oh, helped hold down the fort, as well. It was an amazing...
Kristofer Rios of the Miami Herald interviewed our team today and posted an article that can be read here: I love the title of this article: "Volunteers share Gospel at adult entertainment convention".
Every year there's a couple protestors that come in the name of Jesus to preach condemnation on the industry stars and consumers of pornography (Craig Gross in an interview with him and the...
Jesus Loves Porn Stars
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." ~ Jesus
That might go against what you have heard about Jesus, but it is true. Jesus loves porn stars as much as he loves pastors, soccer moms, liars, thieves and prostitutes. We are all the same to Jesus. We are all just people who need Jesus to save us from the mess we are in and lead us to...
We had an amazing time at the Sydney Sexpo. You can read some of the things that Craig posted here. Here are some recaps from our team members.
had never been to anything like this before...
Australian Skye
When I first walked in to the Sydney Sexpo, it was quite a shock. As one of the team members prayed over me, we made our way to the XXXChurch booth. Passing stand after stand of broken...
I just read this in Vanity Fair. It is an incredible article.
Even as celebrity activists such as Emma Thompson, Demi Moore, and Mira Sorvino raise awareness about commercial sex trafficking, survivor Rachel Lloyd publishes her memoir Girls Like Us, and the Senate introduces a new bipartisan bill for victim support, the problem proliferates across continents, in casinos, on streets, and...
