Hookers for Jesus In 2005, she founded the organization
Hookers for Jesus, an international, Christian faith-based
nonprofit organization that addresses
prostitution,
sex trafficking, and sexual violence and exploitation linked to
pornography and the
sex industry. In 2007, Hookers for Jesus established a
safe house program in the Las Vegas area with one of The Church at South Las Vegas intern homes. The program, titled "Destiny House", is a safe haven for victims of sex trafficking and primarily serves prostitutes and local sex trade workers. Annie left CSLV (Church of South Las Vegas) and currently has a new Destiny House Estate. Annie now attends Valley Bible Fellowship of Las Vegas. In March 2009, Lobert participated in a nationally televised informal debate presented by
ABC News Nightline that posed the question, "Does Satan Exist?" Other participants in the debate included
Carlton Pearson;
Deepak Chopra; and
Mark Driscoll, pastor of
Mars Hill Church in
Seattle, where the debate was held. The debate was the third installment of the "Face-Off" series presented by
Nightline, following "Does God Exist?" and "America Addicted to Porn?". Lobert has spoken in churches and regional conferences throughout the United States, as well as during news reports and national news magazine programs. Her topics generally include a presentation of her testimony and experiences as a victim of sex trafficking, while sharing an overview of the primary and secondary harmful effects of involvement in the sex industry. Taking the name "The Whosoevers" (from
John 3:16), the purpose of the group is to "impact those whose pain has previously driven them to addictive or self-destructive behaviors." Regular members and leaders of the group include
Korn member,
Brian "Head" Welch;
Sonny Sandoval of
P.O.D. and
Lacey Sturm of
Flyleaf. In 2010, Lobert appeared on news programs and talk shows in support of an
Investigation Discovery documentary show,
Hookers: Saved on the Strip, including on
NBC's
Today Show with
Meredith Vieira, and
HLN's The Joy Behar Show. Annie Lobert and her Destiny House program are depicted as themselves in the 2022 indie sex trafficking thriller
Beyond the Neon. Although the movie itself is scripted, Lobert and the interviews with victims are authentic and documented footage of real survivors.
