Jesus was marked in His culture as one who hung out with those shunned by religious people. If Jesus walked our streets today, religious leaders would be shocked at the places He frequented, sharing the kingdom of God. Well, happily, Jesus is walking into venues of deep need through persons like Dotty Zens and her team. In Jesus In the Strip Clubs you will share her journey of caring for those caught in the shame and guilt connected to the sex industry. Dotty's ministry reveals the truth of Henri Nouwen's observations about safe people: "When we are free from the need to judge or condemn, we can become safe places for people to meet in vulnerability and take down the walls that separate them. Being deeply rooted in the love of Christ, we cannot help but invite people to love one another. When people realize that we have no hidden agendas or unspoken intentions, that we are not trying to gain any profit for ourselves, then they will know that our only desire is for peace and reconciliation ... Many times this happens even without our planning. Our ministry of reconciliation most often takes place when we ourselves are least aware of it. Our simple, non-judgmental presence does it." (Bread for the Journey, p. 197)
