Support and Acceptance for Sex Industry Workers
This true account was submitted for publication. The writer wishes to remain anonymous under the pseudonym Jean Oaks
At the tender age of 15, on the streets of a Michigan town, Samantha finds herself with an addiction to sex and drugs that just kept growing. This volatile combination led to a lonely life full of heartache and feeling trapped; a life lived from couch to couch, sometimes even left on the streets shoeless with nowhere to go, no food, and no one even thinking to ask where she is; selling her body for her next fix. Her older sister Ashley gets jobs in the strip clubs to try to make a better life for them both, which just seems to add fuel to the fire of their downward spiral.
One day in the strip club, Ashley gets a visit from Anny, founder of Eve’s Angels, who tries to show her love, support, resources, and a way out if she wishes.

Ministry started by former prostitute reaches out to women who work in the sex industry
GRAND RAPIDS — A group of 10 women gathered on a recent Tuesday evening for Bible study at a Northeast Grand Rapids church.
Their discussion, readings and prayers that night, as on all nights they meet, were focused on those they say don’t get much attention from ministry, except condemnation: sex workers.

Their outreach efforts include visiting area strip clubs and getting the word out to sex workers — just women, for now — that there’s a safe place for them to learn about God.
Eventually, they hope the nonprofit can open a house where women who want to leave the industry can live while looking for other work, go to school and explore their faith.
“(Objectifying) women’s bodies is attacking the morality of our families and our culture,” Donewald said. “We need to let these women know that Jesus loves them. This is a social problem, and it’s up to the body of Christ to fix it.”
Donewald, 32, started Eve’s Angels this spring. The group meets once a week at New Life Christian Fellowship.
