A number of my friends with Porcelain Dolls in Waco recently spent 12 hours making over the dressing room of a local strip club.
They did it entirely on a volunteer basis and if I’m not mistaken all the paint was donated as well.

Just in time for Valentines day…
My friends Kari McHam and Jana Vanderburg have just put together a short video detailing some of the work their doing — caring for and loving on the women in Waco’s adult entertainment industry.
Through Porcelain Dolls, they’ve built a number of real relationships with the “un-loved” in their community and have witnessed some serious life changes in some of the women as well.
Over the weekend the girls took part in a Valentine’s Day outreach and also recently gave away 3 computers to several girls who are trying to further their education.
I’m so proud of their efforts in stepping out and loving the unloved!
Watch the video and consider how you might get involved to help…
Find out more on Facebook, Myspace or donate online.
You can also listen to Kari’s story and Jana’s story on the podcast.
UPDATE: I love how my dad shared this video on Facebook…
I met some people who regularly go to strip clubs. I want you to meet them, too.
My friends Kari McHam and Jana Vanderburg have an amazing ministry they head up — Porcelain Dolls — in which they minister to the women involved in Waco’s adult entertainment industry.
Each month they put together gift bags and deliver them personally to the three strip clubs in Waco. Like many small ministries, Kari, Jana and a few others have been shouldering the financial burden of this ministry on their own.
Kari shared this over the weekend on Facebook…

I’m not a big fan of a number of Chet Edward’s politics, but I’m a huge fan of this:
The Texas Home of Waco Rep. (and former Belton Rep) Chet Edwards sat unused much of the time.
It doesn’t now. He has turned it over to a family that fled Hurricane Katrina.
“I wouldn’t be able to sleep knowing we had a vacant home in Waco, where there were children of evacuees,”; said Mr. Edwards, an eight-term Democrat whose wife, Lea Ann, suggested loaning out their three-bedroom house since they and their two kids spend the school year in Washington.
