MITYLENE

(Gk. Mitylḗnē)

A major city and port of the island of Lesbos, in the Aegean Sea, located off the northwest coast of Asia Minor. On the eastern side of the island, Mitylene (modern Mitilíni) is ca. 10 km. (6 mi.) NW of the far eastern tip of the island. The Greek poet Sappho resided there. Although liberated from the Persians by the Athenians, Mitylene was greatly diminished and brought to near ruin by the Greeks for twice refusing to honor agreements made with the Delian League. In the Roman period it was a popular resort city. On the return leg of his third missionary journey Paul sailed to Mitylene (Acts 20:14).

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.
