- So I learned being a prostitute

that there was only three ways

of getting out of what they call the game.

It was either being sold to another pimp,

going to jail, or being dead.

And for me, I was sold,

physically sold from one pimp to another.

- [Narrator] For over 17 years,

Sariah Hastings livedthe life of a prostitute

and drug addict,

searching for the love she never had.

- The top two biggest things

that led me into thelifestyle of prostitution

was money and acceptance.

- [Narrator] From thetime she was a toddler,

Sariah was exposed to sex and using drugs.

At four years old, she wasmolested by a close relative

and would be for years to come.

And she never said anything.

- All my family memberswas doing the same thing

that I was being shown,

so there was no purpose ofme reaching out and saying,

"There's something wrongwith this," or, "Help me,"

or, "Get me outta this,"because it was so normal.

- [Narrator] Still, she hoped to one day

find someone to love her.

But the words of a familymember gave her no hope

that would ever happen.

- Every little girl wants to be married,

wants to have their knightin shining armor come,

and he said the only wayI would ever have that

is if I was in a pimp and ho relationship.

And that was all I was good,

would be able to lay on my back.

- [Narrator] That thoughtwas cemented in her mind

when at 12, she was gang-raped at a party.

- I was then known in my whole city

as the slut, the ho,

the girl that you couldtake to the bathroom

and do whatever with andshe'll be fine with it.

- [Narrator] Having sex was the only way

Sariah thought she could get attention.

But inside, she hated who she had become.

- It got to the extreme a point

where I just startedtrying to commit suicide

and started cutting myself.

I tried to burn my body.

I would put fire to my arms

just so that I wouldn'tfeel the pain anymore.

- [Narrator] At 18, shewas recruited by a pimp

and walked into a world whereher only worth was her body.

- The minute after he told methat I was going to his ho,

that same night is when I began

to actually officially prostitute

and start walking the streets

and going into the truckdriving parking lots

and making deal with truck drivers.

- [Narrator] And when shecouldn't make the quota,

her pimp threatened to kill her.

She escaped from him butsoon met another pimp

who got her hooked oncocaine and crystal meth.

Sariah would spend the next eight years

being trapped in drugaddiction and prostitution,

living in 33 different states

with pimps too numerous to count.

- When I was able to take a shower,

I would scrub my body

and I could never get thesmell of whatever man,

I didn't even know thesemen's names, off my body.

- [Narrator] Then, when she was 28,

Sariah found out she waspregnant with her second child

by a pimp she was dating.

The father of her first child

made Sariah give thebaby over to her family.

This time it would be different.

- And when I found outthat I was pregnant,

I knew at that moment thatsomething had to change,

that I couldn't continuedoing the same thing.

- [Narrator] She left her pimp

and traveled thousands of miles

to a pregnancy resourcecenter in New England.

While there, a counselor prayed with her.

- And when she started sayingthe Salvation Message to me

and to accept Jesus into my heart,

there was a rush thatwas like never before

that came over my body

and there was a warm feeling

and just the most peaceful,most serene feeling.

I can't even put into words.

All of the disgust feeling of me

constantly wanting to shower

and take all this nastyfeeling off of my body,

it had literally been liftedoff of me in that very moment.

I no longer had the desireto use crystal meth,

I had no desire to smoke cigarettes.

That was my first momentof the Holy Spirit

just filling me with His love

that I had been looking forfor my whole entire life.

- [Narrator] Soon Sariah had her baby boy.

Now at a faith-based residential program,

she realized her need to repent.

- I started asking Godto forgive me of my sins.

Jesus forgave me whenhe died on the cross.

So if He could forgive my sins

and the things that Icommitted against Him,

then who was I not to be able

to forgive the peoplethat did things to me?

- [Narrator] Today, Sariah has a job

in the healthcare industry

and living in a newhome with her son, Noah.

She's also a staff assistantat a women's shelter

where she helps womentransform their lives

through the love of Jesus Christ.

She's written a book about her journey

called "No More Games."

- I love my life today.

There's so much freedomin knowing who Jesus is,

it's amazing.

If you feel that your sinsthat you have committed

are overwhelming and thatyou will never be able

to be accepted by Jesus Christ,

know that no sin istoo great for his love.
