Of porn, Ron Jeremy and…Jesus?

By Craig Gross

XXXchurch.com started six years ago in Southern California to help students who needed help with the issues of pornography. Since we have grown into a ministry that helps both teens and adults. We help those who profess to being Christians, those who do not have a faith and those in the pornography industry.

We call ourselves “XXXchurch.com, The Number 1 Christian Porn Site.” We launched the website AVN Las Vegas, the largest pornography show in the world. We went to the root of the issue: the porn convention. We really did not know what it was going to be like at the show, would we get kicked out, will people even talk to us and what will we do if someone says they need help? That evening the top story on the eleven o’clock news in Las Vegas was Christians at a porn show. The local news crew had come out to the show and hands down said we were the most interesting group at the show. We were stunned.

Our organization took off from there. Fast forward six years and some incredible things are happening. Millions have visited our website to be encouraged and to get help with pornography. We offer a wide range of resources on our website for all people who deal of the issues of pornography, including men, women, spouses, teens and wives. Our vision is to bring hope to those effected by pornography. Our desire is to bring hope, healing and recovery to the church and society regarding these issues. We receive stories everyday from people who have found hope when moved away from pornography.

On XXXchurch.com we give away free accountability software that monitors where you go online and then sends any questionable websites to an accountability partner’s email address. It is called X3watch and is available for free. This software is a simple tool that pushes individuals to be accountable on the Internet. 500,000 people worldwide currently use the software to keep themselves accountable.

Many amazing advances in reaching those in the porn industry have happened in the last two years of our organization. We have had the opportunity to debate the most popular male porn star in history, Ron Jeremy, on university campuses across the United States and Canada on The Great Porn Debate Tour. We have been to porn conventions across the globe in Toronto, Los Angeles, Miami, London and Las Vegas. At these shows we hang out with people and hand out Jesus Loves Porn Stars Bibles, New Testaments. We have given out over 20,000 Jesus Loves Porn Stars Bibles in two years. People love them. We run out of Bibles at every porn show at which we are present.
