Why the New Machine Gun Preacher Documentary Matters Now More Than Ever

Every Purchase Helps Angels of East Africa to Rescue Children in War-Torn Regions

The recent release of the new Machine Gun Preacher documentary is a call to action. Evil and terrorism are very real in this world, and the children of war-torn East African nations know this first-hand. Every purchase and download of “Never Stop – 25 Years a Missionary or a Mercenary” goes toward Angels of East Africa’s nonprofit mission to rescue kids from the atrocities of war.

For more than 25 years, Machine Gun Preacher Sam Childers has risked his life to rescue children caught in the horrors of bloody conflict across East African nations like Sudan, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. His mission has never been about seeking fame or glory. It’s been about saving young  lives — and that work is far from over. 

“Never Stop – 25 Years a Missionary or a Mercenary” impresses that the urgency of this mission remains a key to peace efforts in the region.

Why Does the New Machine Gun Preacher Documentary Matter So Much?

Every purchase directly supports Angels of East Africa — the nonprofit Sam founded to rescue, rehabilitate and empower children who have suffered unimaginable trauma at the hands of brutal warlords. Each download of this new Machine Gun Preacher documentary film funds the God-given mission to save children still trapped in East African conflict zones, to give them safety, education and a chance at a future.

A Documentary With a Purpose Beyond Telling Heroic Tales 

This isn’t just another film. “Never Stop” is a lifeline. The documentary, released Aug. 9, 2024  and available for viewing at mgpneverstop.com, is a direct way to contribute to Sam Childers’ tireless fight to save children from rebel militant groups like Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and others still terrorizing the region.

“For over two decades, we’ve rescued hundreds of children, but thousands are still in the clutches of these evil warlords,” Childers said. “They’re forced into being child soldiers. They’re forced into sexual slavery. We’re forced to act.”

By purchasing and watching “Never Stop,” you’re not just learning about the Machine Gun Preacher’s incredible journey — you’re actively helping to fund Angels of East Africa’s work to rescue more children and provide them with shelter, education and hope.

More Than a Film: A Call to Action

Childers has spent years living one of the most dangerous missions on Earth. “Never Stop” gives viewers an inside look at this harrowing work, from Childers’ personal transformation from gang member and addict to a humanitarian hero. But more importantly, it shows the very real danger that still exists for thousands of children in East Africa today.

“When you buy this documentary, you’re not just watching a film. You’re making a difference in the lives of children who desperately need it,” Childers emphasized. “Angels of East Africa is on the front lines, rescuing kids from warzones and offering them a future. But we can’t do it without your help.”

That’s why the new Machine Gun Preacher documentary matters so much. Angels of East Africa’s work includes providing 24/7 care for around 350 children across multiple orphanages in wartorn East Africa. It means these kids, many of whom have lost limbs or bear other physical and emotional scars, can finally have a safe place to heal.

Why Your Support Is Crucial Right Now

Even though the reign of terror from rebel militias like Kony’s may no longer dominate the headlines, the danger remains very real. Kony is still at large, wanted by the International Criminal Court for 36 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Numerous terror organizations aligned with him continue to wreak havoc in the region. 

Thousands of children remain in grave danger, and countless others — even those who’ve been rescued — need ongoing support to rebuild their lives.

“The fight goes on,” Childers said. “We’ve saved hundreds, but there are so many more who need us. And it’s not just about rescuing them from the battlefield. We need to help them build happy, fulfilling lives after the dust settles.”

A Life-Saving Mission You Can Be Part Of

Here’s where you come in. When you buy the new Machine Gun Preacher documentary, your purchase goes directly toward keeping these children safe, fed and educated – a foundation for a better future! You’re helping to provide shelter, career training and emotional support. In short, you’re making sure these children don’t just survive — they thrive.

Audiences first met Sam Childers through the 2011 film Machine Gun Preacher, starring Gerard Butler. And while that film introduced the world to Sam’s incredible courage, Never Stop takes viewers even deeper into the heart of his mission. From his troubled past to his religious conversion in 1992, the documentary explores the roots of Childers’ relentless dedication to saving children in East Africa.

But the real heart of the documentary isn’t about looking back. It’s about moving forward. It’s about what happens next for the children who have been saved and those who still need rescuing. “Never Stop” serves as a powerful reminder that the work isn’t done yet — and your support is needed now more than ever.

“Sam Childers’ story is a testament to what one person can do in the face of overwhelming odds,” said Kevin Evans, the documentary’s director. “Supporting this documentary means supporting a mission that saves lives every single day.”

The simple truth is this: without funding, the work of Angels of East Africa cannot continue. While Childers and his team are still out there risking their lives, they need the resources to keep going. Never Stop is a way to raise those resources, and every purchase of this documentary makes a difference.

By watching this film, you’re not just learning about a heroic mission — you’re fueling it. Don’t just watch. Be part of the mission!

The Machine Gun Preacher’s vow to bring Joseph Kony to justice or to “send him to the Lord,” as he puts it, reflects his unshakeable commitment to protecting the most vulnerable. We can’t let these children face this terror alone. We can help bring hope to the hopeless.

Purchase “Never Stop: 25 Years a Missionary or a Mercenary” today and make a real difference in the lives of children who need it most.
