Where does the word Decapolis come from?

Ten cities = deka, ten, and polis, a city, a district on the east and south-east of the Sea of Galilee containing "ten cities," which were chiefly inhabited by Greeks. It included a portion of Bashan and Gilead, and is mentioned three times in the New Testament #Mt 4:25 #Mr 5:20 7:31 These cities were Scythopolis, i.e., "city of the Scythians", (ancient Bethshean, the only one of the ten cities on the west of Jordan), Hippos, Gadara, Pella (to which the Christians fled just before the destruction of Jerusalem), Philadelphia (ancient Rabbath-ammon), Gerasa, Dion, Canatha, Raphana, and Damascus. When the Romans conquered Syria (B.C. 65) they rebuilt, and endowed with certain privileges, these "ten cities", and the province connected with them they called "Decapolis"

What are your plans?

At the time of writing this we have 19 songs that are our own and more are being written all the time and we have a number of gigs coming up all around Northern England and Yorkshire. Our ultimate aim with this band to be able to reach as many young people as possible with our music and tell them about Jesus in there own environment instead of making them come to us. Our plan is to play as many gigs as we can and try and build up a large amount of support (already we have a lot of support in Northern England.)

The next step for us we feel is to play as many gigs as we can. We would be willing to play anywhere and are willing to travel. We would also be quite happy to do support tours not only of this country but all over.
We really feel that this is what GOD wants us to do and feel that the timing is right for us to make our mark on the world. Any help or ideas you have for us or our future would be greatly appreciated.
