-- She has been called the pin-up preacher and porn again. On Thursday she was introduced on evangelist Pat Robertson's "The 700 Club" as a "holy hottie."
Veitch describes herself simply as an evangelist, the head of a trio of missionaries called JC's Girls Girls Girls.
Every month, JC's Girls (JC is for Jesus Christ) and a few female volunteer church members visit strip clubs, where they pay for lap dances. While alone with a stripper in a booth, they forgo the dance and share the Gospel.
In January, JC's Girls went to Las Vegas for the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo, regarded as the nation's largest trade show in the porn business, and handed out more than 200 Bibles wrapped in "Holy Hottie" T-shirts.
Veitch, 31, who was a stripper for four years, founded the outreach ministry last March. --

-- Born in Los Angeles and raised in Muscoy, a town of 9,000 people in San Bernardino County, Veitch grew up skinny, poor and sad. "I was the girl from the wrong side of the tracks," she said, recalling how she was teased mercilessly by her peers.
At 14, she accepted a ride from a stranger on her way to school and ended up in a hotel room where he raped her. Veitch didn't report it because she was embarrassed. After that, she says, she became promiscuous. At 17, she became pregnant while attending continuation school. The 22-year-old father, she said, turned out to be a deadbeat.
Veitch became a stripper in 1995 when she was 21 and says she eventually made $1,200 to $2,000 a night. She appeared in four soft-core and fetish films and lived life on the wild side.
By 1999, though, the thrill of fast money, hard drinking and providing fantasies to strangers was gone.
Veitch planned to leave the business before the millennium, when she thought the world would end. "I was starting to get nervous that if I died I was going to pay the price for how I lived," she said.
That's when she found her faith. --
