At Frankston Church of Christ we have been blessed for many years by the faithful prayer ministry of a number of prayer intercessors who have been part of the Prayer Chain. The name of this Ministry has been changed from “Prayer Chain” to “Prayer Hub” to give it a more contemporary feel and focus. The Prayer Hub Ministry of the Frankston Church of Christ has been implemented with the same specific purpose of praying for the needs of people within our church ―as well as those connected through the extended church family network. A Hub by definition is: §   the central part of a wheel, rotating on or with the axle, and from which the spokes radiate   §   the effective centre of an activity, region, or network §   a place where information is gathered and disseminated to other distribution points Using the analogy of a HUB ( a more Biblical concept ) therefore brings to mind what actually takes place in the receiving of information (prayer requests)
