ELIMELECH

(Heb. ʾĕlîmeleḵ)

A native of Bethlehem and husband of Naomi. When a severe famine hit the land, Elimelech moved his family to neighboring Moab where he soon died (Ruth 1:1-3), leaving his widow to dispose of his land (4:3, 9). Elimelech’s two sons, Mahlon and Chilion, who had married Moabite women, also died (Ruth 1:3-5). His daughter-in-law Ruth married Boaz, a kinsman, and produced a child, Obed, thus maintaining Elimelech’s family line and preserving his property in Bethlehem.

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.
