THE REAL MACHINE GUN PREACHER DOCUMENTARY FOLLOWED BY Q AND Q WITH SAM CHILDERS - Portrayed by Gerard Butler in the feature film
FREE EVENT
The Real Machine Gun Preacher – portrayed by Gerard Butler – in the feature film MACHINE GUN PREACHER - is coming to our town to share his story - the journey that took him to Sudan to rescue child soldiers from rebel armies - He's rescued over 1500 children - Last year he received the Mother Teresa Award for International Social Justice (the largest award of its type in the world) and is the only American ever to be bestowed with that honor.
Machine Gun Preacher Sam Childers grew up in the hills of Pennsylvania. His parents were decent honest people, but at an early age Sam started to show a knack for getting into trouble. His Father, former marine, grew fond of saying :boy, somebody’s gonna kill you one of these days!”
By his early teens Sams was constantly on fist fights, selling hard drugs and sleeping with married women. He continued to slide deeper into a life of violence and crime until he became a Shotgunner – an armed guard for drug dealers and a biker.
Sam haunted by his father’s words, became increasingly concerned that he was going to be killed because of drugs and slowly began to distance himself from his former life. He found a job and began to re-establish his relationship with God.
Since being portrayed in the film MACHINE GUN PREACHER, Sam has released a documentary THE MACHINE GUN PREACHER’S STORY.
That film will be shown at the following location and time with Q and A by Sam Childers himself.
