Dumah is first mentioned in the Assyrian annals of Sennacherib as Adummatu. Sennacherib launched a campaign against Dumah after his eighth campaign, between 691 and 689 b.c.e. It remained an important center in Arabia until the 8th century c.e.

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.
