MAGADAN

(Gk. Magadán)

A location in the vicinity of the Sea of Galilee. In Matt. 15:39 Jesus comes to this region after the feeding of the 4000 (KJV “Magdala”), but Mark 8:10 reads Dalmanoutha. Such great textual variants plague both the Matthean and Markan accounts that an exact location is unknown. Interpreters have offered certain phonetic connections with Magadan such as Megiddo, modern Mejdel (140105), and LXX Magdalgad (Josh. 15:37).

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.
