Construction has officially commenced in England on the Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer, a monumental structure designed to collect and showcase testimonies of divine intervention.
The ambitious project, spearheaded by Richard Gamble, is set to become the United Kingdom’s largest Christian monument. Towering at 168 feet tall, the Wall is so vast it will surpass the size of the iconic 98-foot Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, potentially making it the largest Christian monument in the world.
According to the Christian Broadcasting Network, the design of the Wall is inspired by a vision Gamble described as a giant infinity loop built from one million bricks. The monument uniquely fuses faith with modern technology: each of the million bricks will be digitally linked to a specific, recorded story of an answered prayer.
Visitors will be able to use their smartphones to scan the bricks and immediately access the testimony, creating an immense, interactive record of faith.
After two decades of planning and development, the project is moving forward. Gamble views the monument as a necessary, “unashamedly Christian” statement in a country where the Christian faith is often marginalized.
Despite a general decline in UK church attendance, the project aligns with the thriving sector of independent evangelical, charismatic, and Pentecostal churches. The Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer is scheduled to open its doors to the public in 2028.
