Two former sex workers attended the largest adult entertainment convention in the US on Wednesday not as showgirls, but as unconventional Christian preachers.
Heather Veitch, the founder of J.C.’s (Jesus Christ’s) Girls, and Annie Lobert, the founder of Hookers for Jesus, will work the floors at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas this week handing out cards and testifying about Jesus Christ to whoever will listen.
The Expo takes place every year in January and expects to draw 40,000 people this year. It also includes the adult movie version of the Oscars, the AVN Awards.
“To me, I am used to the attention because I come from that industry,” explained Veitch, who said she still gets offered by male porn stars to make films at events like the Expo, according to The Los Angeles Times. “But I am the untouchable one there. I look like those girls, but they can’t see me naked.”
She added, “Now I am using my body to advertise for God. So to me it is not bad,” said the tan, platinum-blond Veitch who still much resembles the girls she’s trying to reach for Christ. She said her and Lobert’s looks allows girls in the industry to identify with them.
Both girls worked in the sex industry for many years – Veitch as a stripper and Lobert as a call girl – before finding Jesus.
