He’s going to regret it even more when Jesus comes to Wales..
I hope some Korean or African missionaries go to Wales to evangelize them.
Is it not hateful of this politician to rale against Almighty God and a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ? Is it loving to restrict the sharing of eternal life-giving truths?
