JC's girls girls girls

There is a ministry at Sandals that makes me very proud to call it my church. There was a woman in our church who was a stripper. After God changed her life, she realized there were a lot of women (and men) in that industry that are dying on the inside and need the love of Christ. She felt a burden to meet that need, and thus began the vision for JC's Girls. The girls in this ministry, sometimes referred to as the Holy Hotties, and the leadership of our church have received a lot of criticism from a lot of people. These precious women that are going into the unreached places and giving everything to reach broken people with the hope of Christ have been called things that I won't repeat here. But God is working through them and changing lives. It is amazing to hear some of the stories. It is such a blessing to look down into the chairs at Sandals and see women that would be cast aside or asked to leave many churches...but to see them loved, accepted, and welcomed at Sandals, because they need the love, forgiveness, and hope of Christ as much or more than many. God is working through some amazing women who have chosen to be obedient and stick themselves out there despite the risks. Check out some of these responses that came from a documentary about them that was shown in the UK (and here are a few more). I was very encouraged. I hope you are too. Pray for these girls. They are not fighting an easy battle.
