Monument Dedicated To Answered Prayers Nears Completion
A groundbreaking Christian monument, set to become the largest of its kind globally, is moving closer to construction in the United Kingdom. The Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer, planned for Coleshill, Birmingham, aims to be much more than just an architectural feat. With wind tunnel testing scheduled for February, the monument is intended to serve as a lasting tribute to God’s faithfulness. It will invite Christians from around the world to share their personal stories of answered prayers, creating a living testament of divine intervention.
Once completed, the Eternal Wall will stand as a monumental symbol of God’s transformative power. Located 90 miles north of London, it will be visible from nearly six miles away, towering with its incredible presence. The structure will feature one million white bricks, each linked to a unique story of prayer and personal redemption, ranging from everyday moments of divine intervention to extraordinary, life-changing miracles.
The design of the monument, shaped like a Möbius strip (infinity loop), will represent the eternal nature of God’s love and faithfulness. Visitors will be able to engage with the monument digitally by scanning each brick, revealing the inspiring story behind it. Richard Gamble, the founder of Eternal Wall, believes in the power of individual stories to impact lives, and with one million stories, the potential for transformation is vast. “We all have a story to share that can point others to Jesus,” he says.
The monument will honor the prayers of both ordinary individuals and prominent historical figures, such as Winston Churchill, Queen Elizabeth II, and evangelist George Müller. These stories, alongside those of everyday Christians, will serve as a reminder that no story is too small to be valued by God. Gamble emphasizes that everyone, regardless of fame or influence, is important to God, and their testimony can make a difference.
The team behind the Eternal Wall is calling on American Christians to contribute their stories of answered prayer. Their goal is to collect 200,000 testimonies from the United States, with 42,000 stories already submitted. By involving Christians from all backgrounds and denominations, the monument’s impact will extend globally, offering hope and faith to people around the world. As the project nears its goal of one million bricks, Gamble hopes the shared stories will highlight the ongoing power of Jesus Christ’s work in people’s lives.
