God works in mysterious ways.
An alleged arsonist set himself on fire while trying to set fire to a Florida church earlier this month.
An unidentified man carrying a gasoline can approached Power Outreach Ministries in Oakland Park at about 1:40 a.m. on Aug. 14, surveillance footage released Thursday by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office showed.
He poured a large amount of flammable material in two places before leaning over to light one.

Huge flames erupted around the man, who was wearing shorts and a T-shirt, and footage showed him stumbling to escape and igniting a second puddle of petrol.
This time, flames danced around his legs and appeared to climb up his arms as he scrambled to escape the flames — with flames licking at his feet as he fled down the street.

It is not known what his motive was for burning the church.
Emergency services immediately extinguished the fire, according to Fox News.
“After extinguishing the fire, the firemen informed the deputy minister about the evidence that the fire at the Ministry of Power Outreach may have been deliberately set. The City of Oakland Park Fire Marshal responded to the scene and determined the fire to be arson,” the Broward County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
