FALLOW GROUND

Ground that has been plowed but intentionally remains uncultivated. Every seventh year the fields in Palestine were to be left unseeded in order to give the land a rest and thus preserve its fertility (Lev. 26:34-35). Whatever grew on that land during the Sabbatical Year was to be given as sustenance for the poor and livestock (Exod. 23:11; Neh. 10:31[MT 32]; cf. Prov. 13:23). At Jer. 4:3; Hos. 10:12 the instruction “break up your fallow ground” means “cultivate a new field” or, metaphorically, “come to a renewal of your lives.”

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.
