How to Write a Book
Word’s Largest Strip Club Outreach RecapDuring annual Vegas outreach, we reached more than 1900 women working at every Strip Club and Sex Club, in Vegas. ONLY one club in the entire city turned us away! We even made our first visit to an escort agency we stumbled upon and were able to reach the women filling out their paperwork to begin working.
At a couple of clubs, we encountered women who were stripping for their first time ever. We were so thankful for the opportunity to connect with them and hope that they get a deep revelation of their worth such that it will change the course of their lives.
The highlight of my weekend was when I ran into a woman I used to dance with over 14 years ago. For those of you who read my memoir, Scars and Stilettos, you may know her as “Grace”. Although she is now 50 years old, not much else seemed to change. She looked almost exactly the same and was still hustling like she did when she was in her 30s. I found myself overwhelmed with the sobering reality that it could be me. Even though years have passed, I am so thankful that we are never to far from the reach of God’s loving arm.

Our next National Outreach Training is in MIAMI, FL – SEPT 28-29, 2012

My Church Doesn’t Have What I’m Looking For I have heard this complaint in one form or another since the moment I set foot in church. That church doesn’t have counseling, a food pantry, enough worship, too much worship, the style of worship I like, not enough prayer, too much prayer, not enough outreaches, too many outreaches…so I’m leaving…[Read More]
How to Write a Book I am not an expert on writing books, but I get asked questions about it often enough that I figured I would share what I do know. This series of blogs is for anyone who has ever thought about writing a book about their story…
