Hookers for Jesus - Our Founder

Our founder, Annie Lobért is an internationally known expert and advocate of ministry to men and women in the sex industry. She is recognized worldwide for her expertise and knowledge of domestic human sex trafficking. She survived over 11 years working as a prostitute and high-class escort in Hawaii, Minneapolis, and Las Vegas, which included catering exclusively to award winning actors, famous musicians and rock stars, national and local politicians, and professional athletes. And yet, Annie knows first hand the harmful affects that a life in the adult entertainment industry can have on a person. She speaks effectively with both secular and religious communities on these issues.

In 2005, Annie started reaching out to the women on the strip and in the casinos that were prostitutes. Then in 2006, she came up with a name that brought controversy on many levels called, "Hookers for Jesus." In January 2007, Annie was offered the opportunity to move ahead into full time ministry ... because this was and IS her heart's desire ... to help people that are trapped in any way that she can!!! She has not looked back ever since!

Although based in Las Vegas, the ministry of Hookers for Jesus reaches out to men and women in the sex industry nationwide and around the world. It is Annie's heart desire to let these men and women know that God absolutely LOVES them... no matter what!

To that end, Annie is committed to going wherever her heart leads her to share the love of Christ with men and women. She is uniquely qualified and equipped with the strategic tools of intercession, spiritual warfare, and cross-cultural evangelism. In addition, she is trained, called, and set apart to recruit, equip, and mobilize Christians from every local church to take the message of hope, love and grace to the streets.

Annie eagerly represents Christ in the casinos, on the street, in the escort services, in the strip clubs, and in the nightclubs. She is willing to go where no church or other Christians have generally gone before to invite sex workers to church and into a relationship with God. And YES, even if they are still working!

Based on personal experience in the sex industry, Annie understands what it felt like when no one cared about her or really loved her while she was working as an escort. So, she wants to reach out and offer the unconditional love of Jesus Christ with others in a NONJUDGEMENTAL way. Her ministry ideas are creative, innovative, and led by the Spirit. Not to mention ... effective!

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 sexual addiction and pornography. Additionally, she often presents the truths of the sex industry with local, national, and international radio and television programs. Speaking requests are in high demand. Annie offers her testimony and message of grace and redemption and effectively ministers to the men and women whose lives have been negatively affected by and within the sex industry.

Annie has been featured on national broadcasts like Life Today with James and Betty Robison, Morris Cerullo's HelpLine TV, the 700 Club, the Jim Bakker Show, and TBNs Praise the Lord. Additionally, she has been heard on radio programs and interviewed in major news publications across the nation and throughout the world.

Annie is currently writing a book about her personal, real-life story of sex trafficking in Las Vegas and how it nearly took her life... not once, but several times. This tell-all story will not be G-rated by any means and will be exposing the underbelly of the not-so-glamorous side to the sex trade and human trafficking in state of Nevada and beyond.

Hookers for Jesus serves under the spiritual covering and support of Pastor Benny Perez and The Church at South Las Vegas.
