JC's Girls Hit Rialto
5 of us girls headed out to a club last night. It actually is the club that I first went to about a year ago. Our approach this time was different. A year ago we had free tickets to get in, we entered and then bouught lap dances to get an opportunity to get one on one time with the girls. This time we brought goodie bags that we had left over from the convention. We walked to the front desk and ask to talk to the manager. Obviously we are getting the stare, the questions were all over his face. The front desk guy calls back and says that the manager will be out in 15 minutes. So we just hung out in the front desk area while guys piled into the club. One by one my heart broke for them. The whole they had that made them decide to go to a strip club makes me ache, then my heart broke for the girls they were about to use.
Finally the manager came out. Hard and eyebrows raised. He was not about to let some bible thumpers into his club. And then it happened you could see Gods hand working. As he questioned us he began to see that our motives were pure. We only wanted to love and show our support for the girls in the industry. He called the owner of the club and then was told that it was his call. And then it happeded. He switched from being this grouchy body guard to leading us back stage to the girls dressing room, buying us drinks and giving us the VIP treatment. He became so cool, I love to see people who only experience the finger pointing so called "Christians" to be able experience the type of example and love that God has asked us to be.
So with that the night was a success. We gave the girls the gifts which are going to speak for themselves. Christina (one of our girls) got the opportunity to talk to one of the dancers who was on something, but who the manager said needed our help. Just to know that someone cares, and is not afraid to come into their world makes all the difference. We had a great night. It was different then my first encounter but it still makes me proud to do what I know God has asked me to do.
You Girls Rock!!

HA!@ Los!!!
You bless me everytime I hear of you doing these, Heather. I'm so thankful that you have the heart of a rescuer; the heart of your Savior. What grace and love He has poured into you that you are so willing to pour it out on others. Faithful Steward - that is you.

I'm curious how you keep safe. Most of those clubs are hangouts for motorcycle "clubs" (Gangs). I'm less worried about the girls being dangerous as I am for the customers or even the bouncers. Do you have a guy chaparone who waits in the car and walks you in/out?
