Christianity Quote by Paul Bamikole

“The priviledges we didn't get, let us make sure that those coming after us get it. Let us clear the way, remove the stones, level the ground and decorate the side walks so that the coming generation of young Christians can run without having to struggle so much because of the road.” quote by Paul Bamikole
