CENCHREAE

(Gk. Kenchreaí)

A Greek seaport located in Achaia on the Saronic Gulf, ca. 11 km. (5 mi.) E of Corinth and ca. 4 km. (2.5 mi.) S of Isthmia. It served as the eastern port of Corinth both in the classical Greek period and in the Roman period. Since the port faced toward the eastern Mediterranean, it is natural that Paul, Aquila, and Priscilla would have departed from it on their journey to Syria (Acts 18:18). Paul’s letter to the Romans (Rom. 16:1-2) mentions the Christian woman Phoebe and the congregation she helped support at Cenchreae.

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.
