Celebration Midweek - July 30

My friend Zantesah Ingalls writes, "The call for us to pay attention to the needs of our brothers and sisters is not new. God has always expected those who have been called to stand in the gap and lead others into his presence." Oh do you hear God's call to stand in the gap? (Quote taken from "Everything God Says I Am" by Zantesah Ingalls)
