In 1974, he risked his life to pray in the town of Almorón, Guatemala.

In 1974, in the town of Almorón, Guatemala, there was a pastor named Mariano who risked his life praying and evangelizing.

Despite facing numerous threats and life-threatening situations, Pastor Mariano continued to spread the gospel in the area, waging a fierce spiritual battle.

Rough men dragged the pastor away, shoved gun barrels into his mouth, and tried to pull the triggers.

However, God protected him, and instead of firing a bullet, only a click was heard, causing the men to flee in terror.

...Through this fierce spiritual battle, risking his life, the town experienced God's powerful work.

As a result, the town changed dramatically after the gospel was preached!

...The Christian population, which had previously been 0%, rose to 92%.

Crime rates were extremely high, and idolatry, poverty, and alcoholism were rampant.
However, afterwards, the crime rate plummeted, alcoholism almost disappeared, and many families recovered.
At some point, the soil and fields became fertile.
Previously, they harvested only about six truckloads of crops per month,
but afterwards, production miraculously increased, and they began harvesting 50 truckloads of crops in a single day.
…The purpose of God's miracles is…🤔
To spread the word of the Lord.
…Miracles still happen today❗️

Shalom😃
