Columbia: Guerrillas Threaten, Kill Christians Compass Direct News reports that a pastor in Colombia's northern department of Arauca took seriously the death threats that guerrillas issued on Friday (March 13). The leftist rebels from the National Liberation Army (ELN) previously sentenced him to die for holding Christian worship services in 2006. The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) have issued similar threats, and carried them out. FARC guerrillas control the southwestern department of Huila, where last November four Christians were killed. Their pastor, Hernan Camacho, has moved with his family out of the area after receiving death threats. "[The FARC guerrillas] say that we, the evangelical ones, are their worst enemy because we teach the people not to take up weapons," Pastor Camacho said. (Religion Today 090319)
