DAMASCUS GATE

The principal gate in the northern wall of the modern Old City of Jerusalem. Constructed ca. 1538-39 c.e. by Suleiman the Magnificent, it leads to the major north-south street, the Cardo Maximus of the Roman city Aelia Capitolina. The name derives from the early Christian tradition that Paul departed from the city by this gate en route to Damascus (Acts 9). Its Arabic name is Bab el-ʿAmud (“Gate of the Column”), indicating the column erected there by Hadrian and still standing when the Arabs captured the city in 638.

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.
