Praise Jesus!! Why don't more of our girls go for THIS kind of girl-on-girl action?

Hookers for Jesus: Ex sex-workers save souls

Las Vegas used to be a lucrative haunt for Annie Lobert, a $500-a-day escort girl, and Heather Veitch, a highly-remunerated stripper.

*In pictures: Hookers for Jesus

Now the vivacious double act patrol the city’s neon-lit streets with a dramatically different mission - to save souls rather than sell their bodies.

With their peroxide blond hair, contour-hugging outfits, and surgically-enhanced chests, they do not look so different from their former incarnations in the city’s notorious sex industry.

But the strategically-located message adorning their tight black T-shirts gives away their new mission - as born-again Christians.

Embossed in gaudy pink, the word "Hookers" appears above the Christian symbol of the fish across Ms Lobert’s chest, while Ms Veitch’s shirt bears the legend "Holy Hotties".

Through their two groups, "Hookers for Jesus" and "JC’s Girls", they perform what is arguably America’s most unusual Christian outreach operation, aimed at their former colleagues.

"The girls can relate to who we are and how we look in a way that they can’t with some of the typical frumpy Christians who come here," said Ms Lobert, 40. "We don’t preach to them and we’re not judgmental. We tell them that God loves them, even if they are hookers or strippers or porn stars. We offer help and advice - we do whatever we can for them."

The Sunday Telegraph accompanied the women - who have become internet sensations with a YouTube video series, "Saving Sex City", and popular MySpace pages and blogs - as they spread their message at events like Las Vegas’s Adult Entertainment Expo.

The annual international gathering of the porn industry might sound like enemy territory, but Ms Lobert and Ms Veitch were among old friends as they caught up on gossip, exchanged beauty tips and handed out cards, apparently inured to the risque material dominating huge flat-screen televisions in the convention hall.

"We love what they do," said Mary Carey, a self-styled "adult megastar" who has prayed with Ms Veitch.

"They are there when the girls need them. I don’t consider myself a sinner, I’m not harming anyone and porn is really just free speech. But it’s good that Annie and Heather are doing their thing."

The bustling three-day Expo, which attracted about 40,000 visitors, is a clear illustration of how the adult entertainment world has left behind its red-light roots of tacky cinemas and trashy magazines and burgeoned into a multibillion-dollar hi-tech multi-media business.

But the usual milieu for the women is the city’s luxury hotel-casinos, where they talk with "freelance" prostitutes, and strip clubs, where they buy lap dances in private rooms so they can chat to performers.

Ms Lobert, who is funded by donations to her internet site, and Ms Veitch, who is backed financially by her church, now plan to expand their work by setting up temporary accomodation for sex trade workers who want to quit.

Among Ms Lobert’s recent converts is Stephanie, 26, who declined to give her last name.

"I had been a prostitute for six years and I was desperate to get out for my baby daughter, but I just didn’t know how to do it," she said. "I was looking for information on the internet and I came across Annie and Hookers for Jesus.

"She was wonderful. She advised me on applying for jobs, let me use her computer and helped me out with rent money so I didn’t have to go back to the Strip."

Stephanie is a testament to the success of the unusual approach of Hookers for Jesus: she now works as a front-desk receptionist at a Vegas hotel and attends Ms Lobert’s 2,500-congregation non-denominational church.

They have heard all the jokes about "porn-again Christians" but say they are happy to use their physical assets to spread the word.

"A lot of guys pose for photos with us and when they go home and look up what’s on our T-shirts, they learn what we’re about. We call it booby-trapping," explained Ms Lobert cheerfully.

But their unapologetically brash looks and refusal to condemn the lifestyles they have left behind have also earned them opprobrium from some corners of the born-again world.

"Some Christians think we are just cheap harlots and tell us so, but to be honest we really don’t care," said Ms Lobert.

Her friend Ms Veitch added: "People used to go to Africa to be missionaries. Well, we’re missionaries to the sex industry. That’s our calling."

So what's the difference between them and that cult, THE FAMILY, that used to send there women out to turn tricks for men and the payment was the men converting to Jesus. They look like whore, were whores, and still hang around whores. What those sex workers need is a firm hand of a real Godly MAN, like many of us here at the Landover church. I shall volunteer to go out to sin city and witness to the unwashed whore there. Yes I too shall go to all the strip clubs, and to those legal brothels. And there, in the privacy of a room or booth, administer them the love that only Jesus and his holy warriors can give. This will be this years missionary trip for me.

So who else here is willing to travel to the SIN CITY, and make it into God's righteous city with me.

These women are not unique. Kellie Everts has been saving souls for years: http://www.salon.com/health/sex/urge...2/11/stripper/

I would have posted the url to her site but it does contain what she calls "artfully nude" pictures. Irrespective of that, there are many testimonials from the troubled people she has introduced to Him!

You can Google her if you would like to learn more.

1) That woman is a mary worshiping whore, incapable of "saving souls" for countless reasons.

2) If she is capable of "saving souls", she apparently skipped you.

You should investigate further. There is a witnessing from a "homer" whom she turned into a real man. Sometimes God chooses unlikely instruments to do his bidding.
