ABOUT US
_____________________________________________________

WHO ARE WE

White As Snow Ministries is a faith-based ministry which is currently
organized through the Kalkaska Church Of Christ/Christian in northern
Michigan by founder Rebecca McDermont. Our ministry is based on the
Bible verse taken from Isaiah 1:18-20 which says, "Come now, let us
reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they
shall be like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best
from the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the
sword." For the mouth of the LORD has spoken. (NIV)

What we desire to do is to reach out to the lost and hurting of this world.
We want to give them hope through Jesus Christ by demonstrating his love
for them through us since "love is the fulfillment of the law" Romans
13: 10.

WHAT DO WE DO

We are currently reaching out to individuals that work in the sex related
industry. Our goal and desire is to help them leave the industry if they
have the desire to do so. We want to teach and/or train them how to
reestablish themselves by obtaining new employment. We also realize
that some individuals will need help with daycare, housing, utilities,
transportation, counseling, substance abuse treatment, sex and porn
addiction, post-abortion syndrome, pregnancy, adoption, domestic
violence, financial aide, among other things so we work with other
organizations and professionals to supply them with the help that they
need.

We will also work with individuals that have a desire to leave the industry
but that feel they can't leave at the present time. We will help them
establish a budget with the money that they are currently making and
teach them how to "save money" so that they can set a goal to leave the
business when they feel secure enough to do so. We are willing and able
to do whatever it takes to break them free from their current bondage.

We also make ourselves available to them as friends and mentors. They
don't have to do this alone. We are here to encourage, hold their hand, give
them a shoulder to cry on, to pray for or whatever they may need from us
during their transitional time. We want to develop friendships and to show
honesty and support because of our personal relationship with and love for
Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 5:12 says, "What business is it of mine to
judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?"

HOW WILL WE REACH MEN AND WOMEN

We will reach them mostly by going to their places of business and letting
them know that we exist. We currently are doing outreaches   (click on
outreach to see pictures) several times a year to local clubs and we desire
to spread this throughout the state of Michigan preferably through other
Christian Churches. "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save
that which was lost." Luke 19:10

When we do an outreach, we take gifts to the workers and owners of the
clubs. These gifts always contain some type of literature that tells them
about us and most importantly tells them about "Christ" and his love
for them. We are also willing and able to use the media, advertising and
whatever we have the available resources for to get the word out to
whomever may need our services. This ministry is also available for anyone
that may need any of these services listed above. There's no discrimination
of persons.

We are in the process of developing programs for sex industry workers that
will address issues that plague their lives. Our desire is to work with our
current court systems and police departments by receiving referrals from
them as well.

White As Snow's ultimate goal is to have a home that women and children
can come to for healing, safety and restoration during their transitional
period.

If you'd like to help us in our efforts, we are currently self-supporting. You
can make a donation of money right now through Pay Pal. We would
also accept a donation of a home for these families. You will receive a
receipt that you can use as a tax deduction because the funds go directly to
the church. Thank you so much and may God richly bless you!

CHURCHES

Brothers and sisters in Christ, we need and are looking for other
Christian Churches/Church of Christ's to help us with this ministry. If
you'd like us to come and speak about this ministry to your
congregation or small group, we'd be honored to do that. We will also
provide training and support on how to do outreaches, where to find
other organizations to refer these men and women to and we will try to
help you in all ways necessary.

Our church is located in an area where there are very few strip clubs but
more and more are moving in. We are wanting to encourage other
churches/ministries in the Detroit area and the Grand Rapids area to
join us or anywhere in the state would be great. Please fill out the
contact information on the websites contact page if you can join us in
prayer, fund raising, donations, outreaches, or if you can be a mentor or
a counselor to the sex industry workers. Whatever you feel the holy
spirit leading you to do. When you contact us by e-mail, phone or mail,
we will fill you in on how you can be a part of this ministry and what
our needs are at the current time. God bless. We need you and love
you! Romans 12:16 says, "Live in harmony with one another. Do not
be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do
not be conceited."

MEDIA

We are ready, willing and able to speak at events, conferences, on the
radio or television about this ministry. If you are interested in having us
do so, please fill out the contact information form and we'll get back to
you as soon as we can. A video will be coming soon to this website of a
recent taped TV interview that was done her in Michigan. We appreciate
you so...much.
