RHEGIUM

(Gk. Rhḗgion)

A city founded by Greek colonists ca. 720 b.c.e. in the extreme southwestern tip of the Italian peninsula. In Greek mythology the site is associated with the navigational hazards of Scylla (a rock outcrop) and Charybdis (a whirlpool). The city became allied with Rome during the Punic Wars. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 91 b.c.e. and rebuilt by Caesar Augustus as Rhegium Julium in the early 1st century c.e. Separated from the island of Sicily by the Straits of Messina, Rhegium became a stopping place for shipping traveling from the west coast of Italy to the eastern Mediterranean. Acts 28:13 indicates that Paul and his companions waited for one day there on their journey to Rome.

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.
