Strip Church Las Vegas

This one's no doubt controversial, but I have to say I'm stoked to see what Graig Gross is doing in the States. Together with the guys at XXXChurch he's come one step closer to realising the dream to see people in the porn industry and adult trade show circuit ministered to in a relevant and real way. The new venture is an actual church (as opposed to XXXChurch, which is a virtual "church"/ministry) on the Strip in Las Vegas. Fittingly (and provocatively) titled Strip Church, Graig and his team of staff and interns aim to be salt and light in a city full girls and gambling.

These guys are sure to face criticism and resistance both from people in the church and people in the porn industry, and it's definitely a controversial call to act on, but I can't help but think if a certain Hebrew who hung out with adulterers and prostitutes, tax collectors and other unlikely folks, and that it's to them he sent us, not to the "healthy and wholesome" of the world. Good luck and God bless to them I say.

Go Strip Church!
