Soon-To-Be ‘Largest Global Christian Landmark’ Update: February Wind Tunnel Testing & Call for Answered Prayer Stories from U.S.
BIRMINGHAM, U.K. – The visionary Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer, expected to become the world’s largest Christian landmark, is moving closer to starting construction with wind tunnel testing scheduled for February. Designed to be far more than an architectural marvel, the monument will become an ongoing testimony to God’s faithfulness, with Christians from across the United States invited to make an impact by sharing their unique, powerful and everyday prayer testimonies, which will be included on the mammoth landmark.
The grand architectural piece will be erected in Coleshill, Birmingham, just 90 miles north of London, and visible from nearly six miles away. Construction will include one million white bricks, each one digitally linked to an individual’s personal story of answered prayer, from the small every-day experiences to the larger-than-life miracles. Designed as an infinity loop, or Möbius strip, the surface has neither beginning nor end, just like God. Each answered prayer will be digitally linked to a specific location in the monument, and visitors will be able to hold their phones up to a brick to discover the specific answered prayer it represents with either audio, video or text.
“The power of just one person’s story can impact countless lives for the better,” shares Eternal Wall founder and visionary, Richard Gamble, “Think about what a million can do. We are all important to Jesus and all have a story to tell — the piece of us that moves others and points them to Him.”
In preparation for this landmark to be constructed, Gamble and the Eternal Wall team excitedly urge “those across the pond,” American Christians of all backgrounds and denominations, to help meet the 2025 goal of 200,000 stories of answered prayer in the U.S. alongside the 42,000 who have already contributed to this historical effort.
With documented testimonies from notable figures like Winston Churchill, the late Queen Elizabeth II, evangelist George Müller and the soldiers of Dunkirk, this unique opportunity to glorify God is open to “ordinary, everyday people,” reminding others that everyone is uniquely valuable is the eyes of God. Testimonies that have been shared include:
- Miraculous healings, procedures and recoveries
- God’s rescue from abusive situations, hostile environments and unhealthy lifestyles
- Comfort and peace in times of trial, loneliness and loss
- Help from the mass effects of natural disasters, economic hardship, war and illness
- Those discovering the “real Jesus,” the truth about God’s Word and finding salvation
“This landmark will be larger than Rio’s Christ the Redeemer, but what’s also different – and more important — is that the Eternal Wall will tell onlookers about Jesus, about his character and who He is,” continues Gamble. “God’s Word reminds us that we triumph by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. This monument will be an ongoing testimony.”
With more than 500,000 journeys passing the landmark every week, this global vision and invitation will have a worldwide impact. As the project tracks toward its objective of one million bricks, Gamble urges Americans to help meet this 2025 goal of 200,000 U.S. submissions of answered prayer.
“You might not be famous, feel influential or have a story you deem exciting, but that doesn’t make you any less valuable to God than another,” Gamble states. “Your story in Christ matters and is meant to be shared with others. Join us and make history; if it impacts just one soul (from halfway across the world) for eternity, it’s worth it.”

About Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer
Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer will be a huge, thought-provoking piece of public art created to make hope visible by showing the reality of the power of prayer. The structure will be constructed using one million bricks, each representing individual prayers that have been answered from across history and by current generations. Built in the heart of the UK between the main routes connecting London, Liverpool and Manchester, the structure hopes to create a nation of storytellers; to transform the culture of the UK, to become one where stories of the miraculous can become part of the nation’s consciousness.
