VIDEO: Redemption in Sin City

Annie Lobert spent more than a decade working as a high priced escort in Las Vegas. Despite her sanitized, euphemistic job description, she was actually trapped in the horrible world of sex trafficking. There were times when she thought she’d never get out of that life, but thankfully, she found God and has done more than just get out of the sex trade. She founded the ministry “Hookers for Jesus” and has been dedicating her life to saving other women from that awful industry ever since.

Here are a few more details about Annie’s life, provided by Wikipedia.

Annie Lobert (born September 26, 1967) is an American former call girl and sex industry worker, who founded the international Christian ministry Hookers for Jesus. In 2010, she produced and starred in a three-part documentary on the organization, titled Hookers: Saved on the Strip, which was broadcast nationwide on cable television’s Investigation Discovery.

Lobert worked as a prostitute and “escort” in Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Hawaii for 16 years. She left the sex industry with the support of Al Nakata, one of her regular customers, who had fallen in love with her. After leaving prostitution, Nakata trained her in estimates and service reviews in order to work with him in his Super GT Series auto body and design firm.
Annie Lobert was born on September 26, 1967 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She is the daughter of Chet and Joanne (née Osgar) Lobert. She is the second youngest of four children. She has a sister, Diana, and two brothers, Chuck and Bill. Diana died from Marfan’s syndrome in 1995. Lobert attended Amery High School in Amery, Wisconsin and graduated from Frederic High School in Frederic, Wisconsin in 1986.

Lobert is the president and founder of Hookers for Jesus, an international, Christian faith-based nonprofit organization that addresses prostitution, sex trafficking, and sexual violence and exploitation linked to pornography and the sex industry.

In 2008, Hookers for Jesus established a safe house program in the Las Vegas area with one of The Church at South Las Vegas intern homes. The program, titled “Destiny House”, is a safe haven for victims of sex trafficking and primarily serves prostitutes and local sex trade workers. Annie left CSLV (Church of South Las Vegas) and currently has a new Destiny House Estate. Annie now attends Valley Bible Fellowship of Las Vegas.

In March 2009, Lobert participated in a nationally televised informal debate presented by ABC News Nightline that posed the question, “Does Satan Exist?” Other participants in the debate included Carlton Pearson; Deepak Chopra; and Mark Driscoll, pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, where the debate was held. The debate was the third installment of the “Face-Off” series presented by Nightline, following “Does God Exist?” and “America Addicted to Porn?”

Lobert has spoken in churches and regional conferences throughout the United States, as well as during news reports and national news magazine programs. Her topics generally include a presentation of her testimony and experiences as a victim of sex trafficking, while sharing an overview of the primary and secondary harmful effects of involvement in the sex industry.
