KARTAN

(Heb. qārtân) (also KIRIATHAIM)

A Gershonite levitical city in the territory of Naphtali (Josh. 21:32); called Kiriathaim in 1 Chr. 6:76(MT 61). No consensus exists as to the exact location of this place, but two sites are possible: Khirbet el-Quneitereh/Tell Raqqat (199245), 1 km. (.6 mi.) N of modern Tiberias on the W side of the Sea of Galilee; and Khirbet el-Qureiyeh, near the modern Lebanese village of Aytarun (194280) in the mountains of northern Galilee.

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.
