ARPAD

(Heb. ʾarpāḏ; Akk. arpadda)

An Aramaean city (Tell Rifaʿat) ca. 30 km. (18.6 mi.) N of Aleppo in northwestern Syria. Arpad’s territory occupied the steppe between the Orontes and Euphrates rivers. Strategic in its location, it led the north Syrian struggle against the westward advance of the Assyrians during the 9th and 8th centuries b.c.e. Although a treaty was reached between Assyria and Arpad in 754, by 740 the city fell to Tiglath-pileser III. In biblical literature Arpad is always linked with its southern neighbor, Hamath (2 Kgs. 18:34 = Isa. 36:19; Isa. 10:9; Jer. 49:23).

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.
