They steal livestock and put them in their own pastures.H5381H1367H1497H5739H74623They take the orphan's donkey and demand the widow's ox as security for a loan.H5090H2543H3490H2254H490H7794H22544The poor are pushed off the path; the needy must hide together for safety.H5186H34H1870H6041H6035H776H2244H31625Like wild donkeys in the wilderness, the poor must spend all their time looking for food, searching even in the desert for food for their children.H6501H4057H3318H6467H7836H2964H6160H3899H52886They harvest a field they do not own, and they glean in the vineyards of the wicked.H7114H7114H1098H7704H3953H3754H75637All night they lie naked in the cold, without clothing or covering.H6174H3885H3830H3682H71358They are soaked by mountain showers, and they huddle against the rocks for want of a home.H7372H2230H2022H2263H6697H42689"The wicked snatch a widow's child from her breast, taking the baby as security for a loan.H1497H3490H7699H2254H604110The poor must go about naked, without any clothing. They harvest food for others while they themselves are starving.H1980H6174H3830H5375H6016H745711They press out olive oil without being allowed to taste it, and they tread in the winepress as they suffer from thirst.H6671H996H7791H1869H3342H677012The groans of the dying rise from the city, and the wounded cry for help, yet God ignores their moaning.H4962H5008H5892H5315H2491H7768H433H7760H860413"Wicked people rebel against the light. They refuse to acknowledge its ways or stay in its paths.H4775H216H5234H1870H3427H541014The murderer rises in the early dawn to kill the poor and needy; at night he is a thief.H7523H6965H216H6991H6041H34H3915H159015The adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, 'No one will see me then.'

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.
