HANDKERCHIEF

A cloth used for wiping the hands or face (Gk. soudárion, from Lat. sudarium; cf. sudor, “perspiration”). In most English translations the term is so rendered only in Acts 19:12, referring to Paul’s handkerchiefs which had miraculous healing effect. These may have been the cloths tied about his head while tent making. The varied use of such cloths is seen in other NT occurrences, where the Greek word is translated “napkin” (Luke 19:20) or “(burial) cloth” (John 11:44; 20:7).

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.
