South Africa Appeal

More than Money

The Revd Guto Prys ap Gwynfor, President of the Union of Welsh Independents, said it wasn't just money that went from Wales to South Africa. "Good will and fellowship went also," he said. " And it wasn't just money that was accepted in South Africa ; hope and joy were also received.  But above all, love was sent and received : the love which pertains to the Gospel and which comes from God the Creator, the love incarnated in Jesus."
