TETRARCH

Originating in 5th-century Greece, a title used as far away as Thessaly and Galatia. Although Gk. tetrárchēs originally meant “ruler of a fourth” part of a tribe or country, by Roman times it had become a favorite designation for provincial rulers in Palestine. “Tetrarch” referred to emperor-appointed vassals who retained local sovereignty but whose income was fixed and who had no autonomy concerning foreign affairs. The title is used of three NT figures: Antipas (always called Herod; Matt. 14:1; Luke 3:1, 19; 9:7; Acts 13:1) and Philip (Luke 3:1), who were appointed at the death of their father, Herod the Great; and Lysanias of Abilene (3:1).

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.
