That would be amazing and definitely a work of God! I am praying for this ministry and asking God where I fit into it.

wow, Jeanelle, thanks for sharing your heart with us. It's amazing that in spite of the pain you faced that you were able to maintain a soft heart and compassion for these women. Maybe someday we'll be able to talk with some of these Lost Treasures together!

Melissa, wow. I so love your heart. This made me cry. Because of what i had to endure as a child and then as a teenager, this is very close to my heart. My favorite line from her on the video is that God won't waste your hurts. Oh, thank you for writing this..not sure exactly what God is doing, but He continues to stir my heart in this area. Thank you girl.

Wow, Julie thank you for letting your daughter do the Ad, it's really amazing! I remember when it first came out I kept thinking how effective the image is, I'm sure it's caused many many people to pause and really think..

Melissa,
What an amazing passion God has given you? And I am sure you have only scratched the surface of this situation. I pray that these women find their true worth of being more precious then rubies and hear the voice of their Father in Heaven and how much He loves them! Thank you for bringing this to our awareness!! Blessings!

Mel – This is very well written and I am proud of you for sharing on a subject that is so personal to you and those involved in this industry. No one should ever feel worthless or that they can't be redeemed. You did a great job with this!

This is my passion, and I KNOW that without my Jesus and His consistant persuing me, I would be one of these precious ladies! I cannot stop the tears that seem to well up over and over as I read this amazing display of God's personal love through these warrioresses…WOW! It is so beautiful to see women walk in thier beauty the way the Lord Jesus desires, and that now the message is one of pure love, without conditions! Thank you for sharing this ministry with us, I will be staying in touch with them :0)

Melissa,
My heart is full of passion after reading this!! So many women need to hear that they are a treasure especially women in this heart-breaking industry. Whenever I read about strippers or saw them on tv I often thought they were someone's precious daughter, but most of all they are a daughter of the King!!! Treasures is an amazing ministry and it only takes one person to get the word out. I am so incredibly thankful for the hidden treasures that's just waiting to be found by people who care!!
Thank you for raising awareness!!:)
Love you,
Maree

Melissa, this article is so good! The bottom line is women need to know they're valuable, and nothing is beyond redemption. When women feel they're accepted by God, then it is easier for them to accept Jesus. After all, this is the love they're so deeply craving: the perfect love of their Father.
