DYSMAS

(Gk. Dysmás)

The unnamed penitent thief crucified with Jesus (Luke 23:39-43), according to early Christian apocryphal stories (cf. the Acts of Pilate). Legends grew that Dysmas (also called Dismas, Demas, Titus, and Zoathan) had defended Mary, Joseph, and Jesus on their trip to Egypt, and that he was a crooked innkeeper who cheated the rich but helped the poor. Because of his kindnesses to Jesus and his repentance, he was eventually made a saint in the Greek and Latin churches.

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.
