EUODIA

(Gk. Euodía)

A woman whose dispute with Syntyche evidently affected the entire Philippian congregation (Phil. 4:2). Paul was informed of the dispute while in prison (cf. 2:25), and he exhorts the two women “to be of the same mind in the Lord” (Phil. 4:2; cf. 2:2). These women, who had “struggled beside” the apostle “in the work of the gospel” with Clement and other “coworkers” of Paul (Phil. 4:3; cf. 1:27), evidently had prominent positions in this church, whose first converts were women (Acts 16:11-15). There is no evidence, however, that they were deaconesses. The nature of their dispute remains uncertain.

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.
