If unfamiliar with Childers, watch trailer of a movie made on him and his ministry in Africa.

Sam Childers and his wife Lynn co-founded Angels of East Africa, the Children's Village Orphanage in Nimule, South Sudan. The non-profit organization now cares for over 300 children who were rescued from South Sudan's war zone. He was awarded the 'Mother Teresa Award for Social Justice' in 2013. He was into drugs, consumed marijuana, and became a dealer at a younger age. He became a Christian in 1992 and dared to conduct rescue missions directly into the Lord's Resistance Army's territory in Northern Uganda (1998-2007) and Southern Sudan (1999-2010), rescuing over 1,000 stolen children. Sam Childers, who is fondly called by the natives as "The Machine Gun Preacher" as he carries a gun and a bible, has become a global figure for children afflicted by internal strife.
