64Oh, that you would rip open the heavens and descend, make the mountains shudder at your presence—H3863H7167H8064H3381H2022H2151H64402As when a forest catches fire, as when fire makes a pot to boil—H2003H784H6919H784H4325H1158H8034H3045H6862H1471H7264H64403To shock your enemies into facing you, make the nations shake in their boots! You did terrible things we never expected, descended and made the mountains shudder at your presence.H6213H3372H6960H3381H2022H2151H64404Since before time began no one has ever imagined, No ear heard, no eye seen, a God like you who works for those who wait for him.H5769H8085H238H5869H7200H430H2108H6213H24425You meet those who happily do what is right, who keep a good memory of the way you work. But how angry you've been with us! We've sinned and kept at it so long! Is there any hope for us? Can we be saved?H6293H7797H6213H6664H2142H1870H7107H2398H5769H34676We're all sin-infected, sin-contaminated. Our best efforts are grease-stained rags.

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.
