Pastor, asking God to give a sign, hit with lightning

The Church of Forest in the American state of Ohio caught fire after it was struck by the lightning, which was caused by a priest, asking God to give some sign. The damage to the building of the first Baptist church is estimated at 20 thousand dollars.

The visiting priest himself miraculously escaped death - the lightning that fell into the bell tower passed through his microphone and disabled the sound amplifier in the church.

The inspired pastor, miraculously escaping death, continued the sermon for another twenty minutes, reports Local6 . Only after this time, the ministers noticed that the church caught fire, and all visitors were taken out.

A small fire was quickly extinguished by firefighters.
