Jesus Loves Porn Stars

Link to Story

There are a couple pastors that have a website called www.xxxchurch.com. They have a ministry that works with people in the porn industry. They were invited to come to a gay porn show and were given 1/2 off the registration fees if they would come and set up a booth at the show. They were invited by the show's coordinator to come. They have been at several porn shows in the past giving out bibles and encouraging people to get out of the porn industry. They attempted to purchase 10,000 bible and have a special printing with their logo "Jesus Loves Porn Stars". The American Bible Society refused to print it. Now there are several issues. One is that the guys ordered the bibles without telling them what would be on the cover until the very last minute. So when ABS refused they didn't have time to get a new printer. Then there was a big LA Times story that got the press involved in a way that was probably not good for anything other than publicity. What I agree with is that these guys should be doing their ministry with the porn industry. What I don't agree with is the way that they often seek out publicity, in ways that may take advantage or hurt people more than necessary. But their message is clear, it is evangelistic and I hope they can continue and get their bibles printed.

As a side the www.xxxchurch.org has some anti-porn and accountability tools that are easy to use and should be used.
