EL-BETHEL

(Heb. ʾēl bêṯ-ʾēl)

The name given by Jacob to an altar he built at Bethel (Gen. 35:7). Here it occurs as an alternative name for Bethel, where God twice appeared to Jacob: after his dream of the ladder or staircase (Gen. 28:12-15) and upon his return from Paddan-aram (35:9-15), each time erecting and anointing a memorial stone. The Hebrew phrase occurs with the definite article in Gen. 31:13, where God identifies himself to Jacob as “the God of Bethel.”

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.
