HOSANNA

An exclamation (Gk. hōsanná) shouted at Jesus by the crowds who greeted his triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Matt. 21:9 = Mark 11:9-10; John 12:13) and by children in the temple (Matt. 21:15). Derived from Ps. 118:25 (Heb. hôšîʿâ-nnāʾ, “save us, we pray”), which apparently became a liturgical cry for divine mercy through the reading of the Hallel Psalms, the expression later became associated with Jewish eschatological hopes (cf. v. 25, quoted at Mark 11:9).

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.
