That same evening Childers' pastor prophesied that he would go to Africa. At the end of 1998, Childers made his first trip to Sudan. In that first trip and the many that followed, he was exposed to the acts of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA)[5] which he described as atrocious. Not long after his first trip to Sudan, Childers and his wife Lynn founded the Angels of East Africa, the Children's Village in Southern Sudan.[6] The Children??s Village currently houses and educates over 300 orphans,[7] with over a thousand children rescued since its conception.[8] The staff at the Children's Village are primarily Sudanese orphans and widows themselves. This is currently the largest orphanage in Southern Sudan and is unique in its approach of leading armed rescue missions directly into LRA territory.
Childers details the events of his life and his experiences in Africa in his book Another Man's War.[9]"
this is a better vid, and more in-depth about his family life vs. his life in africa.
his children resented him because he never spent any time with him, and his wife didnt /hardly saw him as he spent all his time there. He said his stepson was killed while he was over there. His daughter cried and said that she hated HIS work so much. She got more resentful and hateful over his careeer, his destiny.
And he mentions that he tried to do crazy things over there, knowing he would get killed. But was protected each time. to do more work another day.
true story based off of Sam Childers.
