Ex-Stripper Turned Preacher Film Stirs Controversy

A new documentary on a former stripper turned evangelist is stirring controversy within the Christian community between supporters of the film and those against the ex-stripper’s unorthodox way of ministering to sex workers.

The documentary, “The Pussycat Preacher,” which was released Friday, follows ex-stripper Heather Veitch as she struggles to start a ministry for women in the sex industry. The film chronicles the formation of the ministry JC (Jesus Christ)’s Girls – from Veitch gaining acceptance from other women at her church to bringing a few women from church to minister at strip clubs.

Perhaps the most controversial part of the ministry is its method of evangelizing those in the sex industry.
