EUMENES

(Gk. Eumenēs)

Eumenes II, Attalid king who ruled in Pergamum (197-159 b.c.e.). He acquired significant portions of Seleucid Asia Minor from the Romans after their defeat of the Seleucid ruler Antiochus III at the battle of Magnesia in 190 (1 Macc. 8:8). His alliance with Rome created tension between Pergamum and its neighbors. Eumenes probably acquired the title “Soter” in 184 after victory over neighboring Bithynia. He won full control over Galatia in 180/79 after defeating Pontus. Remaining concerned about Seleucid politics, he helped Antiochus IV regain the Seleucid throne upon Antiochus’ release from exile in Rome (175/4).

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.
