ARCHIPPUS

(Gk. Árchippos)

A member of the Colossian church whom Paul greets and reminds to be faithful to his ministry (Col. 4:17). Archippus (“master of the horse”) is also referred to as Paul’s “fellow soldier” (Gk. sustratiṓtēs, Phlm. 2), implying that they had previously served together. He was a member of Philemon’s household, perhaps a son or brother, and may have been the owner of Onesimus the slave (Phlm. 8-20). If the phrase “received in the Lord” is technical language for the beginnings of ordination, then Archippus may have been a deacon at Colossae.

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.
