CONVOCATION

A solemn assembly, mentioned in connection with the festivals of Israel and always followed by the command to do no work. Heb. miqrāʾ-qōḏeš means lit., “a holy proclamation” or “a proclamation of a holy time” (2 Kgs. 10:20; Lev. 23:36; Num. 29:35; Deut. 16:8).

Seven days are associated with this term in Lev. 23: the first and seventh days of Unleavened Bread (vv. 4-8); Weeks (v. 21); the feast of Trumpets, the first day of the seventh month (v. 24); the Day of Atonement (v. 27); and the first and eighth days of Booths (vv. 35, 36). The sabbath is also associated with this term (Lev. 23:3).

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.
