- JC's_Girls abstract "JC's Girls (short for Jesus Christ's Girls, also called the JC's Girls Girls Girls Ministry) is an American evangelical organization of women who evangelize to female workers in the sex industry but does not try to persuade them to leave the sex industry. The organization also supports women who wish to leave the sex industry. It does not focus upon conversion but on communicating its message that there are Christians who are not judging female sex workers and are willing to accept them. The organization also helps people seeking to overcome pornography addiction.The organization was founded by Heather Veitch, who worked as a stripper for four years before converting to Christianity in 1999 and eventually leaving the sex industry. She founded JC's Girls on Good Friday in 2005; it was based at Sandals Church in Riverside, with the support of the California Southern Baptist Convention. That December, UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph published an article about the organization's activities. The following month, JC's Girls had a booth at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo which received much traffic and news coverage. Veitch eventually moved to Las Vegas and based the organization at Central Christian Church. Theresa Scher—a former stripper and call girl—and social worker Sheri Brown founded the San Diego chapter of JC's Girls at The Rock Church in 2007. Within a year, several strippers had left the sex industry to volunteer with the chapter. Veitch and Scher resigned from JC's Girls in 2011 and 2012 respectively, leaving Brown as the leader of the organization. As of 2014, the sole chapter of JC's Girls is in San Diego.When JC's Girls was first founded, pornographic film director James DiGiorgio took glamour photographs of three JC's Girls members for the organization's original website for free. DiGiorgio was not a Christian but said that he was helping JC's Girls because the sex industry is "always trying to preach freedom of speech [so] anyone in this industry who has a problem with [JC's Girls'] message is a fucking hypocrite". Reverend Ray Turner of Temple Missionary Baptist Church criticized JC's Girls for not explicitly encouraging strippers to stop stripping. In response, Veitch said, "Do we ask gluttons to stop eating too much before they come to church?" Philip Sherwell of the Calgary Herald called the evangelism of JC's Girls "America's most unusual Christian outreach operation". In reaction to JC's Girls, adherents of Raëlism—a UFO religion—founded an organization called "Raël's Girls" to tell women in the sex industry that sexual pleasure is intrinsically valuable and that they should maximize their own sexual pleasure while servicing clients.".
