WWW- Things seem to be looking up for the word of God.
Former stripper Heather Veitch frequents topless clubs in Southern California looking for converts - preaching her evangelical message to a most unlikely flock: sex workers and other strippers, according to The Associated Press.
The married 31-year-old mother of two, co-founded the ministry J.C.'s Girls Girls Girls - and even pays for the lap dances so that she can preach the word of God to the strippers.
Veitch found God and chose to spread the word to people in her former profession after working as a stripper in Las Vegas.
Now her J.C.'s Girls Girls Girls, which she founded with two other women, is making an effort to reach out to sex workers.
The three pass out Bibles folded up in T-shirts saying "Holy Hottie" at porn conventions - and their Web site shows glamour shots of them taken by a porno director.
Matt Brown, Veitch's pastor at Sandals Church in Riverside, Calif., is supporting her efforts and donating $50,000 to her ministry this year from his 1,700-member Southern Baptist congregation.
Veitch's sex-worker credentials help her evangelize a very hard-to-reach set of sinners, Brown told the AP.
Porno actors and strippers don't even have to quit their trade to come to the church, Veitch said.
"Do we ask gluttons to stop eating too much before they come to church?" She asked the AP.
