STRAIGHT, STREET CALLED

A street in Damascus which Saul of Tarsus (Paul) was instructed to enter after his encounter with the resurrected Jesus, the home of one Judas (Acts 9:11). Like many cities of the classical period (e.g., Caesarea, Gerasa), Damascus was bisected by a long, broad colonnaded street (cardo maximus) that ran westward from the East Gate of the city. In Paul’s day the street was lined with shops and monumental architecture including a Roman arch, theater, and perhaps a palace. The remains of this street (Arab. Darb al-Mustaqim) can still be seen in column fragments and bases.

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.
