The Pussycat Preacher

A while ago I did a post that mentioned a lady named Heather Veitch. She was an ex-stripper & soft-core porn star who started a Christian ministry called JC's Girls. Last night I remembered Heather's story and wanted to see what had been going on in her life recently. Heather's website now leads to her Myspace page which contains a trailer for a documentary movie called, The Pussycat Preacher.
I watched the film and was amazed at how much persecution she has endured, yet soldiers on. She's even received death threats, even though she's just trying to help others. You can watch her interview at the Nashville Film Festival 2008 on the above link as well. Heather has received help in her ministry from her pastor, an ex surfer turned pastor, and people in the sex industry. I personally applaud her for doing what she believes is her mission in life. She used to do drugs and all sorts of other things, as she mentions in the film. She was on a downward spiral and was able to get out of it with help from her pastor, Matt Brown. She spent 6 years in the sex industry and wanted to help other girls who were suffering in that industry. You see Heather start her ministry and the resulting controversy that erupts afterwards, especially after being interviewed on multiple media shows.
Another lady that used to be a stripper and prostitute for 11 years, Annie Lobert, is also in the film. Annie has a ministry called Hookers for Jesus, where she helps girls that are trapped in human sex trafficking, sexual violence and the sex industry. Her background is interesting and also sad like Heather's is. You can hear more about Annie's story in an September 9 interview with Joyce Meyer that was posted on YouTube. I applaud Annie for what she's doing and am glad that there are people like her in this world.
You can watch The Pussycat Preacher on YouTube, where it is broken into 17 chapters. It is an interesting documentary that can make you think. Without further ado, here is Chapter 1.

I picked her up from JFK Airport on Sunday, the 18th. It was windy, about 50F (10C) and drizzling that day. She wanted to go into Manhattan, so we hopped on the subway. We took the train to the World Trade Center. This was my 1st time being there since 9/11. We then walked along the Hudson River down Battery Park City to Battery Park. We were cold by that time, so we took the subway up to Times Square. Times Square is a bustling area. I remember growing up how different the area had been, especially 42nd St. between 7th and 8th Ave. The area was more rundown, but now it has been revitalized. The Times Square Information Center was not around when I was growing up. We went there and Kerstin did 
Anyways, I'm glad that they opened up the Statue of Liberty again. It had been closed for a number of years after 9/11. Now you have to get there early if you want some of the limited tickets to get access into the Statue. We had missed it by the time we got there, but getting to walk around both islands was well worth the trip. 
Neither of us had any idea that would happen, so we got treated to a free, relaxing concert that day.
