Machine gun preacher

This evening at Connect Church, we had a special guest speaker. It was Sam Childers, also known as "The machine gun preacher".

Sam is famous because of a movie called "Machine Gun Preacher" that came out a few years ago. It was a movie about his conversion to Christianity and his subsequent mission work in places like Uganda, Ethiopia and Southern Sudan. He had quite a message to tell.

You will soon be able to view his message on video by going to "http:\\www.connectchurch.com.au".

Bendigo Writers Festival 2017

Today I attended the Bendigo Writers Festival for the first time.
There were tow important guest speakers:

Dava Sobel and David George Haskell from the USA were the guest speakers. They were both fascinating to listen too.

Dava Sobel is the author of  "Longitude" and David Haskell is the author of  "The song of trees".
Both are great books and both were great to listen too.
