DEW

Moisture condensed upon a cool surface. This moisture carried over by west sea winds turns into the early morning fog caused by nighttime cooling (cf. Num. 11:9; Job 29:19; Cant. 5:2). During the dry summer months in Palestinian agriculture, dew (Heb. ṭal) is a vital supplement for rain (Deut. 32:2; 2 Sam. 1:21; 1 Kgs. 17:1; Job 38:28). Thus, it is frequently used as a metaphor of blessing from the heavens by God (Gen. 27:28, 39; Deut. 33:28; Ps. 133:3; Zech. 8:12; cf. Hos. 14:5; Hag. 1:10). By the nature of its subtle development, dew also connotes the imagery of quietude and stealth (2 Sam. 17:12; Isa. 18:4). In addition, its sudden disappearance by the rising of the sun is used to depict the transience of Israel’s love for God (Hos. 6:4; 13:3).

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.
