The conditions around the world are deteriorating. Evil is rampant through out the land. Every day there are reports of war, violence, corruption and lawlessness. How do we, as the followers of Jesus Christ respond to these events?
God’s eyes are searching for those who will stand in gap on behalf of the people and our land. Eze 22: 29-31
