PLEIADES

(Gk. Pleíados)

According to Greek mythology, the seven daughters of Atlas and Pleione, later transformed into a group of stars (cf. Amos 5:8 KJV) when Orion the hunter was about to molest them. In the OT (Heb. kîmâ, from the root “to heap up, accumulate”) they are created by Yahweh (Job 9:9; Amos 5:8) and under Yahweh’s control (Job 38:31).

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.
