LEUCIUS

(Gk. Leukios)

The pseudonymous author of the 2nd-century Acts of John, supposedly a disciple of the Apostle John (Epiphanius Adv. haer. 51.6). Leucius was also the name ascribed to the 4th-century collector of the Acts of the Apostles, which consists of the Acts of John and four other apocryphal Acts, the Acts of Paul, Peter, Andrew, and Thomas (cf. Photius Bibl. 114). The Manichaeans substituted these apocryphal Acts for the canonical Acts, which led Pope Leo I to condemn these apocryphal works.

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.
