The Prayer Hub vision is to be a virtual House of Prayer - to Inform, Encourage, Educate, Equip and Connect Christians globally.  The service will serve individuals, the Church, ministries, missions, organisations and prayer networks.

In particular, we aim to: Connect people in Prayer; Mobilise prayer for key ‘pillar’ issues, unreached people groups and the persecuted church; and be a virtual House of Prayer for all nations.

The Prayer Hub will be managed within each continent by trained teams, who will oversee the collation of their regional news & events listings, registrations, online moderating, research and networking.

As well as being a service to the free church, the Prayer Hub will have an 'ark of prayer' role to play in supporting the persecuted Church.

We are grateful to various individuals, trusts and organisations for their support to date for the Prayer Hub project which has enabled us to develop the project so far.

As well as the bedrock of prayer, the project depends on voluntary donations, subscriptions, legacies, and grants for its continued success.
