The President of Guatemala, Otto Perez Molina, declared Jesus Christ as the Lord of the country last week during their first national prayer breakfast.
Leaders from government, economic, religious, and indigenous backgrounds gathered in Guatemala City to pray for their nation’s peace and to have God as the center of the universe.
“Today we name Christ as Lord of Guatemala and we declare in his name that each of our generations will be generations that will live in a prosperous Guatemala,” said Molina, according to Hispanic news outlet, AcontercerCristiano.net.
During the meeting, leaders were also encouraged to implement principles and values within their businesses, universities, and neighborhoods. In addition, speakers including Manuel Espina, president of Guatemala Prospera – an organization that trains national business leaders on how to foster developmental change within their community – asked leaders to embrace prayer as the sole method by which their country can succeed.
