AEE Las Vegas Outreach
Love in Las Vegas at a porn convention? You bet! For 4 days, our team members worked tirelessly, handing out information, ministering, and praying with porn stars, pornographers and porn fans. When people walked past our booth, many did not know what to make of us or our message, but when they saw the love, they couldn't resist.
We were blessed with a prime location near two major booths, where some of the biggest-name porn stars signed for fans. As fans lined up to get their pictures taken with their favorite porn star, they were confronted head-on by our booth and the 8-ft. high banner of our alarming statistics. Team members went right up to fans and handed out Dead Porn Star DVDs with cards that said "What if This Was Your Daughter?"

The first single, called Killer Fantasy, has a hard hitting beat with a message from a porn star speaking to porn fans about the truth behind the adult industry. Shelley raps, "Your Killer Fantasy, but my reality is, that while you clicking me the industry is killing me". You can preview Killer Fantasy on Lubben's web-site http://www.shelleylubben.com and buy the album here.

Andi Anderson Leaves Porn
Hi, my name is Ashley. I came from a really great family but I have always struggled with awful, low self esteem. I just always felt I was unworthy of life. I was the one who always protected my friends and tried to make everyone happy and yet I always ended up so alone. My family had very high expectations for me and it seemed I was never good enough. Not at home or with boyfriends and relationships. I tried to please everyone but I never seemed to measure up and it was a never ending cycle that left me feeling completely hopeless.
My journey into the porn industry started in 2005. I went by the stage name Andi Anderson. When I first began, I would work and go to school Monday through Friday and then go to LA on the week-ends. I did every hardcore type of scene (anal, double penetrations, gangbangs, etc.).
After two years, I moved to LA (porn valley) and lived the life of money, fame, drugs and constant partying.

Former Porn Star Jenni Case Escapes Porn and Sex Work
Recently, former porn performer Jenni Case sat down with Pink Cross chaplain April Garris to discuss her life as a prostitute and a porn star, and how she barely escaped the sex industry. What follows is a candid and hard-hitting interview about the dark realities of the sex industry. From her troubled childhood, to her time in prostitution, to her first experience on a porn set, to her eventual healing and redemption through Jesus Christ, Jenni lays it all out!!!
We are so proud of Jenni for her candour and incredible courage in sharing her story. You do not want to miss this powerful interview!
How long have you been out of the porn industry now?
I officially left the entire sex industry about 3 years ago after coming to Christ and finding Shelley Lubben and the Pink Cross Foundation but I stopped actively doing porn in my late 20's when I got married and had my son...
How old were you when you first started in the porn industry, and how long were you in for?
I was very young only barely 18 years old when I started doing porn and I would say I did it off and on for about 10 years. I really didn't know how to take care of myself and it seemed to be an easy way to survive...

Porn Clinic Shut Down
 Former porn actresses from Pink Cross as well as former HIV+ performers have been speaking out courageously and it seems state officals are finally listening! This is a HUGE win against the illegally operating and fraudulent porn clinic (AIM) where mostly young women and men are tested for STDs and offered limited care by a fradulent "Doctor" Sharon Mitchell who makes false promises, "We keep the adult entertainment industry safe." A link to that video can be found here.
She also says, "We deal with everyday with Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis all types, A, B, and C. We deal with Gonorrhea of the throat. We deal with things you can't possibly imagine that are not normally a sexually transmitted disease that are a sexually transmitted disease in porn."
But former porn actresses are fighting back and sharing their painful stories about the TRUTH about the hazardous work conditions and the rampant sexually transmitted diseases they were subjected to while on the porn set. HIV, Herpes, Hep C, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and HPV, which leads to cervical cancer.

Shelley Lubben Rips Mask off of Pornography in New Book!
Shelley Lubben was a porn star.
Now she tells the hardcore truth.
In her new book, "Truth Behind the Fantasy of Porn: The Greatest Illusion on Earth", former porn actress Shelley Lubben rips the seductive mask off of pornography and exposes the hardcore truth behind the "greatest illusion on earth".
Her spectacular journey from childhood sexual abuse to prostitution to the deadly unglamorous realm of porn sets, Shelley is brutally honest about her past. But that's not all. Having escaped the porn industry at 26, Shelley now shares her powerful story of redemption offering a message of hope to the entire world.
The first ever book exposing the "secret" side of porn, Shelley wants you to know the hardcore truth. Pornography is modern day slavery for thousands of women and the millions of porn addicts who can't stop clicking.
But you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free!
 Chapter 1: Under the Big Top
Sex-packed porn films featuring hot dirty blondes whose man-eating eyes say, "I want you," are the greatest illusion on earth. Trust me, I know. I hustled for eight years in strip clubs and whorehouses, manhandling my way to the Big Top, where I was promised fame, fortune and glamour. I was 24 years old when I entered the world of porn.
I put on a good show but I never liked performing tricks in the sex circus and preferred spending time with Jack Daniels rather than the male performers I was paid to fake it with. That's right, none of us hot blondes enjoy making porn. In fact, we hate it. We hate spreading our legs for sexually diseased men. We hate being degraded with their foul smells and sweaty bodies. Some women hate it so much that I would hear them vomiting in the bathroom between scenes. I would find others outside, smoking endless chains of Marlboro Lights...
Chapter 2: Send in the Clowns
When we entered our adult years we became sexual spectacles and demanded higher payment in the form of attention and cash as compensation for the neglect and sexual abuse that we suffered as children. I like to call it porn star currency. We will lie to get it. We will steal to get it. We will prostitute ourselves and risk our lives to get it. Porn stars can juggle HIV, Gonorrhea and Chlamydia while we fearlessly reinfect our-selves with even more STD's. We can do amazing feats with our minds and bodies that would terrify most ordinary people. We can walk a thin line of death and life at great heights without any fear of falling. With the help of drugs and alcohol our skills are enhanced to tolerate huge amounts of physical, mental and emotional pain. Our infected bodies are covered with sores and traces of bruises hidden beneath our daring and flaring images. We are pornographic superstars performing in the world's greatest freak show at a website near you!
Chapter 24: Building a Champion Mind
I found rest in God's gentle arms during those peaceful hours on the beach. Proving to me His personal and great love for me, I began to understand what a Father's love truly was. Unlike my earthly father who was too busy, God was available, tender and concerned with every detail in my life. Finally, I received the attention and approval I always needed. Sad that I missed out on a relationship with God in the past, I recounted the wasted years I looked for approval from men in stripping, prostitution and porn.
What a waste of eight years, I miserably thought as I tossed down a cracked shell to the ground.
But God answered and promised me back, "Shelley, I promise you that not one ounce of your pain will be wasted. I have a powerful plan for your life and will use all of your suffering to help others someday." I held onto His promise.
