CNIDUS

(Gk. Knídos)

A port city on the southwestern coast of Asia Minor, located at the western tip of a long peninsula that juts out into the Mediterranean, opposite the island of Cos, in the region called Caria. A small island, artificially connected to the peninsula, was also part of Cnidus. Cnidus was famous for Praxiteles’ statue of Aphrodite. Rome sent Cnidus and other cities a letter declaring support for Simon’s rule over the Jewish state (1 Macc. 15:23). After a difficult voyage, the ship carrying Paul as a prisoner to Rome had to change directions off Cnidus when it was exposed to unfavorable winds (Acts 27:7).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
