COS

(Gk. Kṓs)

An island in the Aegean Sea, SW of Asia Minor with a city of the same name as its major port. Flourishing as part of the trade routes, Cos was the birthplace of Hippocrates and featured a sanctuary of Asclepius and a medical school. A significant Jewish community existed on Cos. It was one of the cities to which the Roman consul wrote declaring support for Simon’s rule over the Jewish state (1 Macc. 15:23). Josephus records Herod the Great’s interests in Cos (BJ 1.21.11). While Paul was on the return leg of his third missionary journey, after leaving Miletus, he and his companions arrived on Cos (Acts 21:1).

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.
