Canyon Ridge Christian Mission in Uganda

The Canyon Ridge Christian Church is one of the largest megachurches in Southern Nevada. It has created a missionary partnership with Martin Ssempa - a Ugandan pastor who advocates abstinence only to control AIDS. He has also been closely associated with the law to jail and even execute gays in Uganda. We talk with Democratic activist Derek Washington who thinks the Canyon Ridge congregation is unaware of the extreme positions taken by its missionary partner.
