The southwest of Colombia was home to Helmer, a FARC guerilla commander known as Comandante Geronimo. “When I became a commander in the state of Cauca, I unleashed all that atheism against the people of God,” Helmer explained. “Expelling pastors, closing churches, killing evangelicals because… we wanted them to… deny Jesus Christ, to deny God.” But after years of persecuting Christians, Helmer realized he had failed. “The more I persecute them, the more they grow, get stronger, multiply…. Then I start to doubt,” Helmer said. Those doubts led Helmer to a personal
encounter with the Jesus he was persecuting. Today his weapon is a Bible, and he urges people to follow Christ instead of Karl Marx.
