FORUM OF APPIUS

A station on the Appian Way (Gk. Appíou Phóron; Lat. Apii Forum), 69 km. (43 mi.) SE of Rome at modern Faiti. Probably founded during the time of Appius Claudius Caecus, who constructed the highway in 312 b.c.e., it had become by the 1st century c.e. an important town (cf. Horace Satires 1.5.3-6 for a traveler’s critique of its accommodations and “stingy tavern keepers”). From this point a canal paralleled the road through the Pontine marshes (a haven for malarial mosquitoes) ca. 30 km. (19 mi.) to Feronia. A number of Roman Christians traveled to the Forum of Appius to greet Paul following his arrival at Puteoli (Acts 28:15).

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.
