Legendary Machine Gun Preacher to Speak in El Paso

The inspiring Machine Gun Preacher, Sam Childers, is in El Paso this weekend. Check out where you can see him preach and tell his amazing story!

Sam Childers is a former motorcycle gang member who grew up getting into trouble with the law. Childers straightened his life out, became a Christian and started a construction business. Childres traveled to Sudan for the first time in 1998, and since then, has worked to help the orphans of Sudan. Childers now has 6 orphanages in Sudan, with 5 of them up and functioning right now.
