The Pussycat Preacher

A documentary called The Pussycat Preacher is stirring controversy. The 75 minute film tells the story of one-time stripper Heather Veitch who found Jesus and started a project with some housewives from Sandals Church in Riverside. California to reach out to other strippers - only to run into objections from some church members. The movie ends with Veitch and her husband moving to Las Vegas so Veitch can reach out to the strippers there. What the film doesn’t tell you is that several months afterward, Veitch and her husband separated. Sandals Church pastor Matt Brown says the film suggests a falling out between Sandals and the a megachurch just down the road called Harvest Christian Fellowship. Brown says it never happened.

Veitch's web site is called JC's Girls – JC stands for Jesus Christ. She’s now working with Central Christian Church in Las Vegas. The Pussycat Preacher will be shown April 20th and 21st at the Nashville Film Festival. It was put together by LA filmmaker Bill Day who also made a documentary called Missionary Positions. It was about an anti-pornography ministry called the XXX Church.
