FERTILE CRESCENT

Designation, coined by orientalist James H. Breasted, for that semicircular strip of land which arches between Palestine and the Persian Gulf. Contained by the Taurus, Amanus, and Lebanon mountain ranges on the west and the Zagros range to the east, this region consists of plains and foothills relatively conducive to civilization and which contrast sharply with the nearby Arabian and Syrian deserts. Cradle of the Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, and Palestinian civilizations, the Fertile Crescent also served as a land bridge for commerce and military activity between Egypt and the empires of the Tigris and Euphrates valleys.

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.
