SYRTIS, THE

(Gk. hē Sýrtis)

The two shallow bays that form a broad gulf on the coast of modern Libya and Tunisia, Syrtis Major (now called the Gulf of Sidra or Sirte) to the southeast and Syrtis Minor to the northwest, south, and southwest of Sicily. The sailors of the ship Paul boarded in Myra of Lycia feared that the wind from the northeast they encountered off Crete would drive the ship “on the Syrtis” (Acts 27:17).

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.
