‘The Machine Gun Preacher’ – Sam Childers, will be at Celebration House in Ballymena on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th May 2026 for a powerful weekend of testimony.
Sam’s story is incredible — from a past of crime and addiction to now spending over 25 years rescuing children and building homes for them in war-torn parts of Africa. His life has impacted thousands and was even made into a Hollywood film. More than anything, this is about hearing a real story of hope, change and purpose.
The weekend begins with a Leader’s Breakfast on Saturday 9th May 2026 at 9.30am.
Open to all, this will be a relaxed morning breakfast with good fellowship and a powerful message, especially for those in leadership.
Registration is required for the breakfast. Click here to book your spot.
Sunday 10th May 2026 will see an Evening event at 6.30pm. Again, this is a time for everyone to come along and hear Sam share his full story.
Whether you’re part of a church, a local organisation or just curious — you are very welcome.
Bring a friend, bring family — it’s going to be a really meaningful weekend for our community.
You will find Celebration House at 2-4 Railway Street, Ballymena BT42 2AB.
