While delivering his sermon, the pastor began striking the religious statues with the axe he held, prompting an outcry from some of his followers.

The allegations against Pastor Kevin T. Wynne stem from his destruction of icons that hold significant cultural value in Mexico.

Wynne, a Baptist, was sent from the United States as a member of a missionary group, accompanied by his entire family.

He is tasked with spreading the teachings of the Monte Sion Fundamental Baptist Church in Mexico City, as reported by ‘Infobae’.

In Mexico, he has successfully attracted crowds of up to 40,000 people at his Sunday gatherings to share more of his teachings.

Other remarks seen in the comments are: ‘Well, karma will come around,’ ‘It’s wrong because no religion should be superior to another,’ and ‘This action neither makes nor breaks anything.’

Additional shared opinions are: ‘He’s angry because he hasn’t received money,’ ‘We should respect others so that we are respected in return,’ and ‘It’s so sad to see this happen.’

This shocking act is in stark contrast to the values of respect and tolerance that many religious communities in the country uphold.

The reaction of the attendees, who cheered and encouraged the destruction of the religious figures, is deemed ‘unacceptable’ by many.

Ecclesiastical authorities, along with various sectors of society, have expressed their strong condemnation of this incident, as reported by ‘Infobae’.

Wynne has been in contact with local religious leaders, such as Pastor Alejandro Córdova, the coordinator in Mexico, who also preaches at his church in Guanajuato.
