Annie Lobert is a survivor of more than a decade of sex trafficking-working as an exotic dancer and a high-class escort prostituted in Hawaii, Minneapolis, and Las Vegas. 

She is an internationally recognized expert and advocate of ministry to men and women in the commercial sex industry from her personal experience. She fully understands the traumatic psychological, emotional and physical effects of initially choosing the sex industry as a job choice-only later to be trapped, beaten and sold to the trafficker’s highest bidders.

She is also a survivor of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, domestic violence, sexual abuse, cancer, drug addiction, abortions, miscarriages, pornography, anorexia, and bulimia.

Annie’s mission was to go back and reach the ladies she had left behind who were working in Las Vegas as prostitutes/sex trafficking victims. What started as a pioneering, grass roots outreach to sex workers soon became a non-profit, whose focus was to Hook (outreach) Help (housing) Heal (restoration) In 2005, Hookers For Jesus, was birthed.

Although many continue to disagree with the name, Annie moved onto full time ministry and started mentoring and helping women who were in/out of the sex industry, using her own personal experience as a guide. Many ladies had nowhere to go after they had left their traffickers and a vision was birthed in 2007 to have homes available and ready for women that wanted to leave their pasts behind.

It was through Annie’s endless efforts to rescue women and give them hope for their futures and after sharing her vision with her church, Destiny House was officially founded, a safe place for women to live while healing from the serious trauma from being sex trafficked. 

Annie effortlessly offers her story and message of grace and redemption and effectively ministers to the men and women whose lives have been negatively affected by commercial sexual exploitation. 

Annie has been featured on national broadcasts: Dr. Drew Life Changers, The Today Show, Nightline, Joy Behar, The Tara Banks Show, Joyce Meyer, Life Today, Help Line TV, the 700 Club, the Jim Bakker Show, TBNs Praise the Lord and many more.

Additionally, on the Investigation Discovery channel, filmed a three part TV-mini docu-series about sex trafficking with Annie and three of the ladies rescued called Hookers Saved On The Strip. 

Annie has been heard on radio programs and interviewed in major news publications across the nation and world:  The Associated Press, The New York Post, LA Times, Penthouse and Charisma magazine. 

Governmental organizations, judicial offices, and educational systems, in addition to community groups and churches are effectively utilizing Annie’s inside view and background to assist in educating the public and stirring the church and community to action regarding prostitution and sex trafficking.
