An evangelical millionaire tied to the beer business? Now that one I haven’t heard. Some of you assume much about me but have never taken the time to get to know me. Do you have any idea how much hard work and commitment it takes to help porn stars rebuild their lives after porn? Just think about that. Wait, don’t just think about it, go do it and then let me know what you think about me then. It is VERY hard work. I have loved until it hurts. My whole family has loved those in the industry and invited them in our home to live, we have cared for them while they are sick, loved them even when they lie to us, helped them find safer places to live, reunited them with their family members, visited them in jail, helped them find jobs, driven down to the Valley from Bakersfield to take them to dinner only to have some of them not show up and yet we STILL keep trying to reach them and love them. And donations, I get very little donations compared to other ministries. You really think a bunch of churches want to support an ex porn star who helps porn stars? Think again. I do this because I LOVE people in the porn industry and truly believe all of you are made for something better. I really mean that. I do ask for donations on my web site because it DOES cost money to run a foundation and help people. I do speak a few times a year to cause awareness and receive an honorarium which helps to support my work. But I am a Mom of three and can’t travel around to have some big evangelist ministry. I work mainly at home. I raise my kids and care for my family. I reach out to porn stars through the internet and on the phone. I drive down to San Fernando Valley to meet women who want my help. You don’t really know me. But if you look closer you will see who I really am. By the way, the main donor of my outreach is not some millionaire but my hardworking husband. My husband works 60-70 hours a week as a medical sales rep who drives about 1000 miles a week to support his wife so she can stay home, raise our children and help porn stars and sex workers. There, now you know a little more about the Lubben Family. We love you no matter what you think of us.

I haven’t worked with xxxchurch on the Esther Fund for a year. I started my own non-profit public charity called Pink Cross Foundation. I really feel I understand the needs of sex workers more than those who haven’t been in the sex industry so this is the main reason why I started my own organization. XXXChurch has different ideas about how to help porn stars than I do. I didn’t feel comfortable with some of them so my hubby and I started Pink Cross Foundation.
But it’s all good. I’m glad so many people are reaching out to the porn industry. God bless!
