Brazilian Model Turned Pastor Who Stepped Down To Return To Modeling Says Church Members Are Now Subscribers

Ana Akiva, the Brazilian model turned pastor, followed her heart at the end of last year and decided it was time to step down from her position with the church.  She had another calling that was taking her away from the congregation.

The 36-year-old former Miss BumBum competitor was being called back to the world of modeling. Not just any modeling, she was climbing aboard the OnlyFans money train.

That doesn't mean she's closed the door on a return to the church.  Ana said at the time, "I believe that making sensual content does not diminish me as a daughter of God or as a person."  Adding that she was stepping down from her pastor role "out of respect for God."

In addition to OnlyFans, she hopped on a Brazilian competitor of the adult platform, where she tells subscribers, "The confessional is open, let the pastor take good care of you?  I'll let your imagination bring you here, in my nice corner."

Among those who subscribe are former members of her church as well as famous actors, big-name soccer players and even country music singers.  Some of those former church members have ended up sending her interesting messages, to say the least.

"Some [people] made a point of saying that they went to church because they were horny because they wanted to see me," Ana said.  "Some sent intimate photos in the church bathroom.  I was shocked."

Ana Akiva Is Focusing On Her Modeling These Days And Those Who Have Followed Her Back Into It

That's not all.  According to Ana, those who followed her back into modeling have overshared a little from time to time and have even shocked the model with some of their messages.

"Many said they left the church after I abandoned preaching," she said.  "Others opened up about the erotic fantasies they had with me at the time, each thing unbelievable."

That said, Ana is taking it all in stride.  Her "confessional," as she calls it, is all one big game where the winner is her bank account.

"It's a game full of excitement and mystery," Ana admitted.  "They love it and tell me what they want.  Penance is always exaggerated in pleasure."

The former pastor/Miss BumBum contestant is quickly approaching 200k Instagram followers as she works on increasing her subscriber numbers.

A bio that includes those two very different worlds is bound to pique some interest.  Something tells me we haven't heard the last of our favorite former Brazilian pastor, Ana Akiva.
