About Jewels

OUR MISSION

JEWELS EXISTS TO SUPPORT THE ADULT ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. OUR MISSION IS TO SHOW THE LOVE OF JESUS IN A TANGIBLE AND MEANINGFUL WAY BY REACHING OUT WITH THE MESSAGE OF LOVE AND VALUE.

The JEWELS team reaches out by visiting 9 strip clubs through outreaches across the Salt Lake Valley and in Ogden, Utah. During these visits we give gifts, goodies, or words of encouragement and hope along with a powerful message that those we reach are valued, cherished and loved as they are, wherever they are. We want them to know support is available to them should they ever need it.

In addition to strip club outreach, we are here to provide resources, encouragement, and support to anyone who has worked or is currently working in any aspect of the adult entertainment industry.

WHO DOES JEWELS SERVE?

Although most of our outreach is done at strip clubs, Jewels serves in all areas of the sex industry including prostitution, escorting, and dominatrix. We also assist victims of commercialized sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.

DOES JEWELS ONLY PROVIDE SUPPORT TO THOSE WHO WANT TO LEAVE THE SEX INDUSTRY?

We will provide services and support to anyone in the sex industry regardless of whether or not they want to leave the business. Many working in the sex industry are often facing a myriad of issues. Many are dealing with backgrounds of sexual abuse and trauma, substance abuse issues, depression, PTSD, domestic violence. We believe that it is important to meet someone where they are at. If someone wants help addressing an issue in their life, but has no intention of leaving the sex industry, we will support them.

Strip Church logo

We (Strip Church) serve, teach, and equip women across the world who share a heart and calling to reach those in the sex industry.

We train new leaders to do strip club and sex-industry ministry in their home cities. We do this through an online training workshop platform with our top leaders. We also will come to any church who wants to host a training event for a start up ministry in their church or surrounding cities. Our Strip Church Network is supported through ongoing interaction with members of our staff as well as members of the network through networked websites, calls, resources, blogs, prayer, and branded materials to use inside the clubs as well as on your own websites. Strip Church is led by forward-thinking women and men who are reaching out into the sex-industry in incredible ways. Through our private network-only discussion pages, blogs and alumni events, you will hear from a range of leaders who are having incredible impact through their separate ministries. Strip Church was started in 2008 by the team behind XXXchurch in Las Vegas and quickly grew to a network of like minded ministries from across the world.

Treasures logo

Treasures is a unique, faith-based outreach and support group for women in the sex industry.

Our mission is to reach, restore, and equip women in the sex industry and victims of sex trafficking to live healthy, flourishing lives, and train others to do the same across the globe.

Through our Global Training Program, we have equipped leaders to reach and provide care to women in the sex industry in 97 cities across nine countries, on five continents.

We have a vision to see a sex industry outreach in every city on the planet where the commercial sex industry is operating.

Fireproof Ministries logo

Fireproof Ministries is devoted to helping people break free from secret struggles that weigh them down with tons of guilt and shame. We desire for people to live strong and healthy lives, have vibrant and strong marriages, and not stay quiet on challenging issues when raising our kids like so many in our parents’ generation did. We have a few different web properties that feature different products and services, but all of them are aimed at helping people discover a life that is emotionally healthy and spiritually rich.
