Coming Soon

If The Saints is a project by David Peterka focused on challenging the global church to take up the call of Jesus to care for the widows, the orphaned and the poor. David is editing film captured during his East Africa and India trips with poverty experts and aid workers and a Biblically based educational curriculum on what individuals, communities and the global population can do to end extreme poverty.

The Back Story

Only three days in Africa, on August 1, 2009, brothers David and Tim Peterka learned their Give A Damn? documentary film partners Rob Lehr and Dan Parris miraculously survived a deadly plane crash.  After a stay in a Nairobi hospital, Rob and Dan returned home to recover from their injuries and begin editing film. Surviving East Africa’s wilds, slums and cities on a $1.25 a day, the Peterka brothers continued filming life in extreme poverty for nearly four months.  Their goal as they journeyed focused on filming, interviewing and learning the root causes and solutions for extreme poverty.

Followed by thousands via Facebook, Twitter, print, radio and TV, David and Tim Peterka traveled Kenya, the Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and the Sudan. The brothers learned small money and genuine relationships make a big difference in eliminating the root causes of extreme poverty. Their adventurous, heartwarming, and deeply personal experiences have compelled them to launch additional projects including Small Change, BIG Difference and If The Saints. 

Small Change, BIG Difference is a growing collection of greeting cards, wall calendar, and writings for forth coming children’s, photo, and adventure books to encourage everyone to find their groove in the effort to end extreme poverty.

 Ever the adventurer and behind the scenes camera man, Tim is creating a book of collected pictures, tweets, journal entries, thoughts and stories on life in and his travels through East Africa. And, of course, he and David are contemplating their next epic adventure.
