MYRTLE

Myrtus communis L., a fragrant evergreen shrub with dark oval leaves, white or pink flowers, and black berries common in Syria and Palestine and elsewhere in the Mediterranean region (Zech. 1:8, 10-11). Myrtle (Heb. hăḏas) is associated with the eschatological transformation of the desert into a well-watered place (Isa. 41:19; 55:13). After the postexilic restoration of the Feast of Tabernacles, myrtle branches were used in constructing the booths (Neh. 8:15).

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.
