The Machine Gun Preacher was a genuine, trouble making badass; immersed in a world of fights, sex and drugs until he found God and turned his life around.  Seeing a young boy torn to pieces by a landmine in Sudan led him to build an orphanage in an area terrorized by a rebel militia that had kidnapped 30 thousand children and murdered hundreds of thousands of villagers.

Sam would not be scared off though and his work continues today. A couple of movies have been made with or about him.  Learn more by clicking the links above and see him for yourself Saturday at Nuevo Pacto Church.

You can also hear him tell his amazing story tomorrow morning with Buzz Adams and The KLAQ Morning Show at 8am!
