BEAN

The broad bean, Vicia faba L, sown in winter and ripe in summer. The plants grow up to 1 m. (3 ft.) tall and have fragrant white blossoms. Remains of Vicia faba have been found at several Bronze and Iron Age sites in Israel.

David and his troops eat beans (Heb. pôl) at Mahanaim during Absalom’s revolt (2 Sam. 17:28). God instructs Ezekiel to make bread from “wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt” in preparation for the siege of Jerusalem (Ezek. 4:9). Ground beans are often used by the poor as a filler in bread.

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.
