The Reality of What Treasures is About and Who They Help...


PIGEON JOHN RECENTLY SAID THIS ABOUT TREASURES...

"Treasures is an outreach and support group for women in sex industry. They share love and time to those that may be hurting, those that may seemed trapped in the industry. All proceeds goes directly to Treasures to keep them afloat and moving!"

EMAIL EXCERPTS FROM GIRLS THAT TREASURES HAS IMPACTED..

"I'm so excited to report that I've 100% left the industry! It's been 4 months since I've stepped foot in there. It's been a long road getting here, but so worth it! In the process, I had to leave an unhealthy 6-year relationship... and change just about every aspect of my life. They weren't kidding when they said you must die to your old life when you come to Christ. ; ) It's crazy to look back....I don't even recognize my life anymore! Thank you for your help and support, it means so much to me!"

"I turned my life around 2 years ago! Recently I began seeing how I needed to face my past and be completely healed. I know God will use my past to bring other girls to Him...I started listening to the teaching cds you have on your site...I was SO excited when I saw that you had a series because it's TOTALLY God answering my prayers. I know God is faithful to fully heal and restore me! So I just wanted to say THANK YOU."

FACTS ABOUT THE SEX INDUSTRY....

More women are employed by the sex industry than at any other time in history. There are nearly 2,700 strip clubs in the United States alone, more than any other nation in the world.

Overwhelming research indicates that large proportions of women in the sex industry have been sexually and physically abused as children.



The bottom line, women working in the sex industry often come from backgrounds of brokenness, disadvantage and abuse and many are desperately seeking assistance and support to live the healthy, flourishing lives they were created to live.

HOW CAN I SUPPORT? WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?

If you live in Southern California you can come out to the event, not only does your ticket sale go to support Treasures but there will also be a silent auction with all proceeds of that also supporting treasures.

Each year, the Treasures Team gives out more than 6,000 gift bags to women in 170 strip clubs in Los Angeles and Orange County as well as Las Vegas. All gift bags, peer mentoring services, books, resources, support, and referrals are provided to the women free of charge. Treasures operates as a faith-based nonprofit organizatifunded completely by donations.

If you can imagine it, Eligh and his mom folk singer Jo Wilkinson have done a collaborative album. Mixing folk and hip hop not only sounds like an interesting concept, but its an amazing concept that works! You might of heard the song "Safe" featuring Slug and Pigeon John from this album, since its getting a lot of play and people are talking about it. But there is another PJ song that you might of not of heard that is also amazing. Fans of Pigeon John's singing like on the "...Sing the Blues" album will love the track "Honor Me". You can hear the song "Safe" on MySpace.com/ElighandJo. Check out the entire album which also features the Grouch, Jiro Yamaguchi (of Ozomatli) and many others. By heading over to the iTunes link.

"Upon watching this film, a time-honored hip hop statement rings loudly - 'If you don't know, now you know.' This is a story that has been missing from our cultural consciousness. The LA Underground scene has been "slept on" and passed over when it comes to its important contribution to the hip hop art form. Their styles and language, as well as the gymnastic vocal twists, symbolize the highest standards of rhyme. This film keeps their highly relevant music fresh and in its purest form, letting the stories be told from the mouths and minds that lived it. THIS IS THE LIFE is exceptional, a documentary not to be forgotten."

- Chuck D, Public Enemy
