LADDER

A graded series of stages or levels. It may be a structure made of wood, metal, or rope with two side pieces and a series of rungs. The ladder symbolically represents upward movement or improvement and was considered a place where humanity and divinity interact, a means of linking heaven and earth (Gen. 28:12). Heb. sullām, often translated “ladder,” is better rendered “stairway” because the imagery comes from the Babylonian ziggurat, a temple tower that had brick steps leading to a small temple on top. This is the place where angels ascend and descend (cf. John 1:51).

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.
