DARIC

A Persian gold coin weighing ca. 8.4 g. (.3 oz.), bearing the image of Darius I Hystaspes (ca. 500 b.c.e.) and therefore assumed to have been coined by that ruler. The name may derive from Akk. darag mana (one sixtieth of a mina; Heb. ʾăḏarkôn; Ezra 8:27; cf. 1 Chr. 29:7). The coin (darkĕmôn) included among the exiles’ offerings during the reigns of Cyrus (Ezra 2:69) and Artaxerxes (Neh. 7:70-72) may have been a drachma.

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.
