MILDEW

A blight that turns plants a pale green and makes them unfruitful, perhaps the result of fungus or of the hot east wind. Heb. yērāqôn may also indicate either paleness of the human face or a sickly paleness of plants. Mildew occurs in lists of plagues (along with scorching wind, hail, famine, fever, sword, and blight) which were understood to be punishments that God visited upon his people for their disobedience (Deut. 28:22; Amos 4:9; Hag. 2:17). Solomon petitions that, when mildew or any of the other plagues are present, God would hear the prayers of his people, forgive their sins, and deliver them (1 Kgs. 8:37 = 2 Chr. 6:28).

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.
