LAISHAH

(Heb. layšâ)

A village likely in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin (Isa. 10:30). It is listed with other Benjaminite cities N of Jerusalem in a vision of the prophet Isaiah (Isa. 10:28-32). This vision refers to the destruction of cities by an invasion from the north (probably the Assyrians under Sargon II or Sennacherib, at the end of the 8th century b.c.e.). Laishah is possibly to be identified with modern el-ʿIsāwiyeh (174134) or with Rās et-Tawīl (173138), located NE of Jerusalem.

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.
