The World’s Largest Strip Club Outreach & More!
Treasures Quote of the Month
“I have completely stopped dancing and have a great new job! I no longer drink and party and I am so much happier. I don’t need to drink to find the fun in life. I am thriving in my new life where I am appreciated for what my brain has to offer, not my body. I just wanted to thank you for all of the prayers and support throughout the years!”

Dinner for a Treasure
The Dinner for a Treasure fundraising gala was a great success! 200 people (most of whom were new to the cause) captured the vision of Treasures and raised over $21,000. The Denver Foundation matched every gift over $500 and brought the grand total to over $33,000!!
Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors who purchased the tables in advance, thus covering the cost of the event, EVERY DOLLAR RAISED will go directly to the work of Treasures!
Outreach Highlight
During our outreach to the South Bay of LA, we went to the DJ booth at one of the clubs to give the DJ some cookies. He stopped the music and said loudly into his microphone, “Are these cookies from Jesus?”
There was a pause and then he said it again “Are these cookies from Jesus?” We said “YES and from us girls as well!”!
The music was still off when he said twice into the microphone “Are you Jesus? Are you Jesus?” Our outreach leader said, “No, I’m Kelly with Treasures”! He thanked us for the cookies and turned the music back on.
Strip Church Update
Last weekend, 33 women from 22 cities (including Anchorage Alaska and Ibiza SPAIN) came to the Strip Church training to get equipped to lead sex industry outreaches in their communities!
After the firs day of training, we put our knowledge to action and reached 900 women working in strip clubs in Downtown and Hollywood!
Highlight of the Night:
One of the women who came to get trained was an ex-dancer too. She was questioning whether or not she had the boldness to share her story as she had been tucking that part of her story away for the past 10 years. She could see that God had been leading her to share more and I encouraged her that not only would God give her the boldness to do it, but that she would find that it would actually be an asset to her as she starts an outreach in her community.
Sure enough, at the very 1st strip club she went to during the outreach, one of the girls asked her to share her story! The woman she shared it with was visibly moved and responded by saying, “Keep doing this. Don’t stop coming back to the clubs.”
I am thrilled about the work that is being done through the Strip Church Network and honored to be able to train leaders! I strongly believe the impact of their work will change communities and affect generations to come!
World’s Largest Strip Club Outreach!
It’s that time again! Treasures is gearing up for the World’s Largest Strip Club Outreach in Las Vegas.
For the past 8 years, the Treasures team has traveled to Vegas over Memorial Weekend with one goal in mind: To reach every single woman in ever single strip club in the area. Since it is a holiday weekend, thousands of women come from all over to work at the clubs in Vegas. And when they do, we show up with gifts and the message that they are LOVED, VALUED and PURPOSED.
We still have one more volunteer who needs to raise $250 to get to Vegas. If you are interested in contributing towards her trip, you can make a donation here and select Las Vegas Outreach in the drop down menu: Donate Now
