Have you seen Machine Gun Preacher?
IT's a biopic film about Sam Childers, a former drug-dealing biker tough guy who found God and became a crusader for hundreds of Sudanese children who’ve been forced by the LRA to become soldiers. I saw this movie last week and couldn’t imagine how this is allowed to happen.
I live under a rock. My personal problems are miniscule compared to what these children are experiencing.
This morning I heard on the radio (KISS 92.5fm) Jason Russell talking about Kony2012 and the Invisible Children of Uganda, the LRA, and Joseph Kony.
Again, I live under a rock and it’s getting uncomfortable. His message hit home and the thought of not doing anything, even the smallest thing that could help, is unquestionable.
So who is Jason Russell? What is Kony 2012? Who are the Invisible Children of Uganda?
Instead of me talking about them, it’s best to watch the video. It runs for 30 minutes and IT IS NOT A WASTE OF TIME (unless you’re comfortable under that rock). IT was uploaded on March 5.2012 and it has been viewed at least 32 million times as of 11:00am Thursday – March 8.2012 EST.

Take note of 27:06 and understand.
We have the tools to make him famous enough for people to know. This is not a youth movement, this is a WORLD movement. If it ever crossed your mind on how you can change the world - this is it. You can choose to donate money, time, service or influence (online or otherwise).
It's hard to imagine what is happening to these children, it ECHOES LOUDER when you have children of your own.
