EBONY

The wood of two species of tree, Diospyros ebenaster Retz. and Diospyros melanozylon Roxb., both native to the Indian sub-continent and Sri Lanka. The Phoenicians shipped the wood to Tyre from Dedan on the Persian Gulf and from there traded throughout the Mediterranean world (Ezek. 27:15). The exterior wood is white and has little value, but the interior becomes black and durable over time and it was highly valued in fine carpentry, ornaments, furniture, and some religious practices in the ancient world. Works of ebony were prized highly by Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, Phoenicians, and Romans.

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.
