Hi! My name is Laurie Ishii and my husband's name is Daryl Bargy. We are both born-again Spirit Filled believers in Jesus Christ! He is our everything - He is the reason why we do what we do.
We reach out to people who come from a lifestyle similar to the ones we were living before we surrendered our lives to God.
Daryl has done just about everything - addicted to alcohol, pornography, drugs, (mainly methamphetamine) dealt drugs, worked for a pimp, hustled on the street for money and dope, been arrested for prostitution, weapons, went to prison for dealing drugs - these are to name a few. He has also experienced very close calls to death; including being beat, tied up, gagged and had a shotgun to his head.
I was a suicidal heroin junkie, crack whore who sold my body both for drugs and money, addicted to pornography, masturbation, been in homosexual relationships, been to jail numerous times for drug possession, stealing, being drunk in public, been in a gang, shot and almost died attempting to commit suicide numerous times - including jumping off the roof of an 8 story building and survived.
The point in saying all of that is NOT because we are proud of any of it, but to show you how STUPID we were! We were both such hard-headed people who didn't know God or even care to know God - but despite of all of that - He loved us, saved us and gave us new lives. We now have purpose and destiny - and that is to grow in our love and knowledge of God and to bring others to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ! We are SO GRATEFUL to God and love Jesus so much - we want other people to know Him too!
It is our hearts desire to see people who are living a lifestyle of sexual perversion, drug addiction, criminal activity, (of any or all kinds) addiction to money, music, pornography, the homosexual lifestyle, gangs, pimping, prostituting, stealing, death and suicidal thoughts or obsession, masturbation, violence and any other type of sinful lifestyle - to be DELIVERED and SET FREE by the power of Jesus Christ!
We know from PERSON EXPERINCE that WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! "If you abide in My word, you are my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:31b-32)
Before we got married, I went through two discipleship programs – one called BADD (Born Again Delivered Disciples) and after I graduated from BADD I volunteered at the LA Dream Center for two and a half years (a year and a half of that time leading the prostitute outreaches)…then I met Daryl at a tattoo parlor on Hollywood Boulevard while sharing Jesus with the artists and body piercing artists. Long story short – he got saved, threw away all his music CD’s, got rid of all his tattoo equipment and before we got married moved into the Dream Center across the hall from me!
After we got married we moved off the campus of the Dream Center into a house we rented while we continued serving the Dream Center still leading the prostitute outreach and also by ushering at Angelus Temple (which we still continue to do on Thursday night services). About a month before our one year anniversary we both felt like God was calling us back to the Dream Center so God worked things out and we threw out, gave away or sold most of our stuff (including a motorcycle, bed, couches, appliances etc.) so that we would be able to fit everything into one small room on the Dream Center campus! By this time Daryl had started going on the prostitute outreach with me.
After our year of volunteering we felt God calling us to start our own ministry and outreaches to focus more on specific areas and people – and especially those in the Hollywood area. Along with the people listed above we would also like to reach out to musicians, actors and people in the entertainment industry.
We are in the process of getting our 501C3 and we haven’t gotten everything all together – we still need to make a logo, shirts, business cards, envelopes etc. Not to mention organizing our outreaches to enable more people to come out with us and to have more outreaches throughout the week to different places and different people.
We go out at night (after hours) after midnight - preferably around 3am till the sun rises! We realize that this isn't the most convenient time to do outreach, but try telling that to the people we reach out to!!! :)
Thanks you for your patience, support and PRAYERS!
THIS IS WHAT THE BACK OF THE ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL SAYS - WE HAND OUT THESE 'PIMP TRACTS' TO PEOPLE WE MINISTER TO...
Every player has come up short at the end the game.
“For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)
Yo, player – if your Road Dog was knocking at the door of your momo, would you open up? Well, Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart, and He’s the Ultimate Mac Daddy holding the keys to the track made of ‘Bling Bling’ – you need to let Him in.
Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice, I will come into him.” (Revelation 3:20)
Don’t let the devil play you and turn you out on the wrong side of the track. He’s recruiting fools for his stable. He’s got the gift of gab but he’s rollin’ zero deep with a punk in the trunk.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
Don’t let the Devil be sweating you to wait till the end of the game. You may not live that long. Jesus isn’t looking for Choosey Susies. Decide for Christ now.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven…” (Luke7:21)
Don’t think that just because you went to Sunday school when you were a kid or because your uncle is a preacher that you’re going to heaven. You can’t buy your way there either.
“…And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!” (Luke 7:23)
“You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe and tremble!” (James 2:19)
“Whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what profit is it for a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?” (Luke 9:25)
The Gospel Truth is that no matter if you’ve been a Finesse Player or a Gorilla Pimp - God’s love and mercy and grace is available to you too.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) Jesus gave His life as a ransom for your sins and whoever calls on the Name of the Lord shall be saved.
“That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9-10) “Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,” (Acts 3:19)
Dear God, I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I believe that You sent your Son, Jesus Christ to shed His precious blood and die for my sin. I am willing to turn from my sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Savior. Amen
