Woman give up pornography to become pastor

A mother has quit her porn star career and lavish life style to become a pastor.

The 33 years old lady spend 10 years in porn industry before turning her life around after meeting and marrying a pastor.

After falling pregnant at the age of 16, she took to acting pornographic films to be Abel to take care of her self and her baby.

A porn agent had assured her that she had the potential to make $30,000 monthly translating to $360,000 a year.
Crystal Bassette from Clay, New York attended her first scene in a house at Malibu, California but it wasn't an easy experience, not in the slightest.

She said, "I remembered after the scene I was in shower for over 2hours crying. Then I stopped after that shoot and didn't go back for about one month.

"I ended up going back to it again and that was when I was numbing myself through taking pains medicine and drinking alcohol to get through the scene.

"It just became like this daily routine for me where I will drop my son off to school in the morning,  go do a shoot and return home. It was like a regular 9 to 5 job"

Crystal addiction to alcohol and both earning and spening large amount of money became a vicious cycle - one that she said sucked her up until she ultimately lost herself in the haze.

Eventually, she decided this life style was unsustainable to her and her well- being so she turned to Bible for help.

"My mind was so messed up and after reading the Bible I know that I was been haunted by a spirit of Jezebel " she said.

 "The day I was saved, I felt like the preacher was just speaking to me directly . It was like he was preaching to only me and you know that day I felt like God was talking to me through his preaching and everything he said felt right.

"I Ended up walking the middle. I got down on my knees and was just praying to God to just release me from everything and my mom was there and my sister came over and were just all crying.

"And that was the day I got saved"

Crystal began devoting her life to God - and in the process,  she met her now Husband - David, a pastor.

She said, "He'd known about my past for years because my sister was going to his church . David is a kind of guy that believe your past is your past. You can't keep looking back at it. It's done with.

"It is definitely the ultimate change. It's going from one extreme to the next. I had to get away from this whole life.

The couple married December 2014 and were soon joined by their son Carter, Who was welcomed by the older brothers 16 year old Justin and  7 year old Landon.

David, 26 said, "what I would like people take away from us is that God can forgive you no matter what past you come from.

"I would like people to come to Christ through our relationship and our experiences.  I hope it encourages everybody else to do the same , to realise that money and fame isn't what  It's about.

Now recovered from her alcohol addiction and out of the porn industry,  Crystal has been able to reflect on her decisions and now believes she knows what led her on a path to adult film industry.

She said' "I was sexually abused when I was a child by two different people. So I went through  a lot of stuff as a kid.

"It's wordless,  I am alright now but it took me a long time. I went through a few years of therapy and stuff so I realise why i was choosing the life that I did."

With the surport of her friends and family,Crystal is now in a great place and have even graduated from college to become a paralegal and trained as a pastor.

David and Crystal have even founded their own church known as New Beginnings Christian Life in Fulton, New York where they hope to inspire others.

Crystal said, I look back at my past now and you know  I can't say I really regret anything because it has made me who I am today.

"It's like if I grew up as a teacher, I probably wouldn't be helping people now. I probably would be completely different.

"My past made me whom I am today and God has changed my life completely;
