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...

Being a male and walking around at the AVN porn show in Las Vegas is not something you would call uncommon. It is quite the norm, in fact. However, feeling compassion and sensing pain in people's eyes and talking about God's love, no matter what you...

Our experience with XXXchurch Canada was amazing! Our team came together well and it was like we had always known each other...thanks mostly to Amanda and technology! My husband, Mike, and I were encouraged by the number of people that seemed genuinely excited that we were at the porn show. There were some that wanted nothing to do with our booth, but the majority of the people...
I met Anne* two years ago in February. She emailed us to share her story. She had been in the industry for four years at that time and said it got worse as time went on. This is some of what she wrote:
"I am scared that I will never meet the man of my dreams and have a family and children. I am ashamed and dont tell people I meet anything about me. I never leave the house anymore cause Im...
Sami was in her early 20's when she contacted us about her situation. She shared that her early years of growing up were what she perceived as perfect until out of nowhere her parents split up- her mom moved on in a new relationship and her dad in his alcoholism. She began to ease her pain just as her father had done- with alcohol. Sami met a man in his 40's at a party who owned a stripping...

Tara –
Never once in my life did I ever think I would enter a porn show. In fact, I didn’t even know these types of things existed, until I got involved with XXXChurch. Being here, I find...
Em contacted us from Canada. Little did she know at the time that we have a division of XXXchurch in Canada. Em shared her story:
"I grew up in the church and wanted to be a virgin until marriage. When I was raped that all went out the window and I started having sex willingly. I am in college and was broke and wanted to meet a sugar daddy so I thought putting myself out there would be...
Cynthia began working as a private escort to supplement the little income she was making at a part time job to support her children. Its always awesome for me (Michelle) to hear how the Lord will pursue these girls in the midst of their sexual rebellion and lifestyles. This is the God I know- a God who in spite of a person's choices continues to pursue and reach out to soften the heart so...
