(PLACE)

A town S of Baal-hazor and ca. 23 km. (14 mi.) N of Jersualem in the Judean hills, usually identified with modern eṭ-Öaiyibeh (178151). Here Absalom avenged the rape of his sister Tamar by the murder of her assailant Amnon (2 Sam. 13:23). After Lazarus’ raising, Jesus went to Ephraim “near the wilderness” to be with his disciples (John 11:54). The name has been associated with biblical Ophrah (Josh. 18:23), Ephron (1 Macc. 5:46), and Aphairema (11:34).

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.
