WWW- A former stripper is taking off all pretense when it comes to the Word of God, as she’s on a mission designed to bring porn stars, nude dancers, and people addicted to pornography closer to salvation.
“We pattern our ministry after the very ministry of Jesus by actually going to the people who need him,” says Heather Veitch [pictured], who performed in Las Vegas and California. “Our desire is for people to see that Christianity is anything but boring and restrictive. In Christ, we are free to experience adventure, pleasure, forgiveness, hope and peace.”
The 31-year old full-time hairdresser has created a sparkling website called JC’s GirlsGirlsGirls which has had 40,000 hits in three months. The concept was launched this summer in the wake of the alcoholism death of a friend and co-worker from a strip club in Colton, Calif. So far, it has helped several nude dancers to start attending church.
A Christian for the past five years, Veitch also cares for her terminally ill husband and her two children, ages four and 13.
“As a successful Vegas stripper, I lived life to the extreme,” says Veitch. “I partied with celebrities, traveled, and found pleasure in the lifestyle that stripping provided. However, deep down inside I was terrified to die. Feeling like I would eventually pay the price for the life I lived, I began ‘bargaining’ with God.”
“The pleasure, excitement, attention and love I get from living my life in the way God planned is far better than the unfulfilling and regretful life I lived before asking Jesus into my heart,” she adds.
Also part of the JC’s Girls team are Lori Albee and Tanya Huerter, married teachers who grew up in Christian homes, and appear in glamour-gal shots on the website.
“They remind me of ‘Charlie’s Angels,’ but they are for real!” says documentary filmmaker Bill Daly in an on-site testimonial. “They’re fighting false glamour with real spiritual beauty.”
The gals also run a blog on site, providing the public with the latest information.
An entry from Heather dated Dec. 1 reads: “Lori, Tanya, and I are learning all about porn conventions. There is so much crazy stuff that you need that we would have never thought of … like carpet.”
