Emerge Ladies

Emerge Ladies is a unique outreach ministry that began on Mother’s Day 2012 to provide hope, healing, and free resources to women working in the adult entertainment industry.

Many women who work in strip clubs struggle with PTSD, addictions, and abuse, and Emerge offers a helping hand, a listening ear, and a compassionate heart. Our teams visit several strip clubs and adult bookstores in Philadelphia and New Jersey every month.

In 2016, Emerge launched a prison outreach and began ministering to women in the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility several times a year. Emerge sends resources and correspondence to several prisons across the country.

Emerge continues to inspire and impact thousands of women every year through this powerful outreach ministry.

“You will never find a higher concentration of women who need help.” – Anthony, Strip Club Security
