Rev. Marcelino's Story
Marcelino Morales was born in Canóvanas, Puerto Rico, to a humble family, grew up in the Church of God and the prophetic word is manifested with the fulfillment of his pastoral ministry.
At age six, along with his four sisters, Rev. Morales parents separated, affecting their lives forever.
His beloved mother, Lydia Tirado Rivera, faithful servant of Christ and a seamstress by vocation, continued raising her five children on her own, having the support of her faith in God and the beautiful virtue of her maternal love. Despite her tough battles, she repeatedly received words of prophecy that one day her son, Marcelino would become a faithful servant of God and teach His Word. Today, those words are fulfilled in accordance with the divine will of God.
During the middle stages of his youth and concerned about the family’s financial situation, at the age of 17 Marcelino enlisted in the United States Army.
Years later, he met Christella, who he loved and wanted her to be his wife. This became a reality in 1990 when the two married in the city of Hanau, Germany. Currently the Morale’s have been married over 25 years of marriage. Marcelino says, “He loves Christella as the first day he saw her and gives thanks to God for giving him a Christian woman, and the children, grandchildren, and great-grandson that are part of their lives today."
After 25 years of military service and having survived two wars, Rev. Morales retired from the military to devote himself to the vocation of his pastoral calling, becoming soldier of Jesus Christ, teaching, speaking, and counseling.
