Machine Gun Praecher. 

If you would drop the name Sam Childers in any circumstance that would absolutely not ring one single bell. Well let’s change that. Sam Childers born in 1962 in Grand Forks, North Dakota is basically a drug-dealer-turned-preacher-turned-rescuer-of-orphans. Yes. It’s all true. He seriously now dedicates his life and resources to rescue children in the war zone of South Sudan. Childers and his wife Lynn founded and operate Angels of East Africa, the Children’s Village Orphanage in Nimule, Sudan, where they currently have more than 300 children in their care. If you like what your reading here I recommend the film “Machine Gun Preacher”, the documentary and the book “Another Man’s war”. Yes, I know the working title of the film sounds like a B-movie but it’s actually Childers’ nickname. Next to that writer Jason Keller worked on the script for 4 years cause he had to win the trust of Sam. Not an easy task apparently. And Actor Gerard Butler worked on the film for one-thirtieth of his normal rate. Keep going strong Sam and I will spread your story from this day forward.
