CHLOE

(Gk. Chlóē)

A wealthy business woman whose people brought to Paul in Ephesus news of division within the Corinthian church (1 Cor. 1:11). Chloe’s people (lit., “those of Chloe”) were either her family members, business associates, slaves, or free employees. Whether she resided in Corinth and sent others to conduct business in Ephesus or vice versa is unclear. Chloe’s people were undoubtedly Christian, but Chloe may not have been, although Paul’s designation “those of Chloe” is typical of how he refers to Christian households (cf. Rom. 16:10-11). Chloe may have been the leader of a household church.

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.
