Former members, victim to testify against matriarch of Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps
Julie Gudino will testify against Deborah Green, the leader of Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps, along with fellow cult defector Maura Schmierer on September 17
On September 17, Julie Gudino will be on her road to a life that doesn't resemble a nightmare when Deborah Green, one of the leaders of the cult that Gudino left many years ago, will go on trial for charges including kidnapping and sexual penetration of a minor, child abuse and failure to report a birth.
The Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps, a religious sect based in New Mexico, wasounded in 1981 by Deborah and her husband James. Gudino has now come forward and said that the pair had practically controlled the lives of many of their followers and have even inflicted harsh punishments on those who "disappointed them". She said that they made sure that believers were distanced from their own families.
