Pastor and freedom fighter Sam Childers, the son of a Pennsylvania iron worker,who rescues children soldiers in Uganda and Sudan will be the guest on News Talk Online on Tuesday March 25.

Childers is a former biker who rode with the Hell's Angels and now fights to rescue children during military-style rescue missions.


"I always liked to fight. Still do. I'm a preacher but I still like to fight," Childer says.



Since 1987, the border of Sudan and Uganda has been ravaged by rebels called the Lord's Resistance Army, which is headed by Joseph Kony . The rebellion is one of Africa's longest-running conflicts. When Jan Egeland, the UN undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief met Kony in 2006, he told Dateline NBC that Kony's terror is "terror like no other."

"I've been in a hundred countries," Egeland said. "I've been working with human rights, peace, and humanitarian problems for 25 years. I was shocked to my bones, seeing what happened in Uganda. For me, this is one of the biggest scandals of our time and generation."

Kony says he is a spokesperson of God and a spirit medium. He commands the LRA to murder, rape, maim and destroy villages. He has captured over 20,000 children and has turned them into killing-machines or sex slaves. Over 2 million villagers have been displaced and 10s of thousands have been killed. But Childers and his militia are fighting back, rescuing child soldiers and setting them free.

Children's Village Angels of East Africa is a Children's Village for orphans located in south Sudan and founded by Childers. It rescues, shelters and restores the lives of children caught in the crossfire of the rebel atrocities. The organization has been operating for a decade, saving the lives of hundreds of children and renewing hope in a region where it had all but vanished.
