The Machine Gun Preacher's Incredible Story of Redemption

Rebecca Weiss Podcast

Show Notes

From drug dealer and outlaw biker to “Machine Gun Preacher,” Sam Childers’ journey to rescuing children in African war zones became the inspiration for a Hollywood movie, though some of the most incredible parts of his story never made it to the big screen.

Sam joins Rebecca and Jonathan to share his shocking testimony, the prophecy that altered the course of his life, the horrific reality in South Sudan, and the supernatural protection he’s experienced through decades of ministry confronting warlords and rebel armies. This conversation is a powerful reminder that God can use absolutely anyone to accomplish His purpose... and He often chooses the most unlikely candidates.
