OUR MINISTRY MODEL

For over a decade, our local team has served women in the sex industry right here in Greater Cincinnati. Throughout this time, we have developed a reputation for several key distinctives of our ministry model. This is because our local team has always desired to serve the women because of the love we have received from Christ! Who better to model our ministry work after than Jesus?

Relationship-Focused

Jesus was relational. He could have sat on a throne, but instead he chose to walk with others and intentionally pour into twelve men. We have a similar relational model, where developing long-term relationships with women is the pathway to sharing the hope of the Gospel.

Gospel-Saturated

Jesus cared about physical pain, but was primarily focused on spiritual development. He did not ignore the realities of a broken world and healed, fed, and restored people as a means of pointing them to a spiritual reality. We help meet physical needs while holding the sharing of the Gospel as the primary mission of our organization.

Compassion-Driven

Jesus was moved with compassion (Matthew 9:36). Jesus saw the crowd, knew every sin in their hearts (even the hidden ones) and knew they didn’t yet love Him. He was filled with compassion and called His disciples to pray for laborers for the harvest. We see the hardships of the women we serve and serve with compassion, not judgment. We pray earnestly for laborers for the harvest.

BUT WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY DO...?

We are often asked, “What does ministry to women in the sex industry look like?” 

  • First, we build relationships. We want to be the sweet aroma of Christ to the women! We live life with our friends. We have no hidden agendas. We aren’t there in judgment. We are there to share the life-changing love of Jesus! 
  • We usually bring food. Food is the way to just about anyone’s heart! We all need it and often don’t get enough of the right kinds of foods. So we show up with a tangible representation of the lavish love of Jesus! 
  • We offer tangible help and resources to women in crisis. We connect the women to resources to meet their most critical needs. This means helping with addiction recovery, job placement, housing resources, trafficking rescue, hygiene and food needs, sexual violence victim resources, etc. 
  • We pray with them and for them. We know the God who created the heavens and the earth and calls us by name! This same God tells us we should come before Him with prayer requests. That’s what we do for our friends.

Sound simple? It is! And yet the broken hearts we encounter and the deep roots of pain that have led many of our friends to seek survival sex as their means of income mean that this simple work is a long-haul effort to establish the foundations of trust that will hold the weight of truth.
