machine gun missionary

I think my knowledge of history is fairly complete, but in recent years, I really don't know that South Sudan has become independent. In my memory, Sudan was occupied by the British in the 19th century (see "Four Feathers" for the theme), or it was still a middle school Africa's largest and unowned land in history textbooks.

I would like to pay tribute to Sam Kidders, although he cannot be called a qualified missionary, he did not know at first how to preach and speak in church to obtain donations for children; but he did it, and it was all put into practice. The act of saving the child is also saving his own destroyed boyhood; Sam is certainly not as heroic as the actor Butler, but he does have the courage to build a wire fence to face the LRA. When I saw the swing frame, seesaw and soccer ball he brought to the children, the joy on the children's faces, all the injustice and suffering seemed to have dissipated in an instant, the orphanage in the abject land was covered with warm Light of God.

The film's final subtitle is shocking, heart-wrenching and admirable:

"-------- Kony and his LRA continue their reign of terror in northern Ganda and South Sudan, with the military reckoning that Kony and rebels massacred more than 400,000 people, kidnapped more than 40,000 children. These children were abused, trafficked.. forced to participate in the killing rituals of rebel commanders.
To this day, Sam is fighting for the children of South Sudan and Northern Uganda, and Sam and Li Ni is still together, Li Ni runs a Jewish church in Pennsylvania.-------"

Thank you for having such a biographical subject matter and restoring these histories. If certain plots in this type of film are processed, then, Please pay attention to those subtitles and pictures at the end, I need to calm down and sort out slowly, it will restore a lot of real life.

  • Sam Childers: In your actions you give service to the Lord he's not interested in your good thoughts... your good intentions... he wants your hands... your backs... your sweat... your blood to pour into the foundation that will build up his kingdom!

  • Ben Hobbes: You're that preacher, ain't ya? Yeah, you him. I seen your face in the papers a few years ago. Called you the machine gun preacher, right?

    Sam Childers: Yeah.

    Ben Hobbes: [to his buddies] Told you this is the guy. Hot damn, I knew it. The paper's talking about you as some kind of a... an African Rambo or something, right?

    Sam Childers: If you don't mind, I'd just like to sit here right now.

    Ben Hobbes: You still helping them niggers over there? See, the way I figure it... the reason you're so interested in helping them porch monkeys is probably 'cause you throwing them in nigger ditches, ain't ya?

    [Sam elbows him in the face]
