In the heart of England, a breathtaking structure will eventually be built—one that could redefine how the world encounters the power of prayer.
It’s called Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer, and when completed, it will stand 50 meters high—roughly the length of an American football field. Designed as a sweeping white Möbius strip twisting toward the sky, the monument will be constructed from one million bricks. Each brick will represent a story of answered prayer.
Behind this audacious vision is founder Richard Gamble—a man whose journey with Jesus began with a simple question: Why did no one tell me sooner?
Richard became a Christian in 1990 at the age of 20. He hadn’t grown up in a Christian home, but when someone finally shared the Gospel with him, he says he was ready.
“It wasn’t difficult to get me to sign up,” he laughs. “I was waiting for someone to tell me.”
That sense of urgency—to make sure others wouldn’t have to wait—became a defining thread in his life. Years later, in 2004, he felt prompted to carry a wooden cross 77 miles around his county during Easter. What seemed like a simple act of obedience sparked countless conversations in schools, workplaces, and homes.
Then came a prayer that would change everything.
“I asked Jesus, ‘What do You want me to do next?’” Richard recalls. “And in a flash, I saw a monument made of a million bricks—each one representing an answered prayer.”
That was more than two decades ago.
The scale is staggering.
If the Statue of Liberty were lifted off her pedestal, she would fit beneath Eternal Wall. The structure will be visible from a major motorway, welcoming an estimated half a million visitors annually—and millions more online.
But what makes this monument revolutionary isn’t just its size. It’s what lives inside it.
Using augmented reality, visitors will be able to point their phones at any brick. Instantly, a story of hope will appear—real testimonies from real people whose prayers were answered.
Visitors will also be able to search by topic: cancer, addiction, broken marriages, anxiety, restoration. The app will guide them to stories that mirror their own storms.
“It’s not just about asking,” Richard says. “It’s about revealing that Jesus is alive, that He listens, and that He answers.”
Building an overtly Christian monument in the United Kingdom has not been without resistance. In a culture where some believers have felt hesitant to openly display their faith, Eternal Wall stands boldly unashamed.
“People said it couldn’t be done,” Richard shares. “But I’ve learned not to be influenced by facts—only by His truth.”
That conviction has carried him through impossible moments.
At one point, Richard presented the vision in Parliament. When asked how he would fund such an enormous project, he answered confidently that he had a “very big backer.” At the time, he had just five pounds in his bank account.
His “big backer,” he explains, owns the cattle on a thousand hills.
Today, more than £40 million (about $54 million U.S. dollars) has been raised, and construction is underway. The opening is scheduled for 2028.
Throughout the journey, God has repeatedly confirmed His hand on the project.
One particularly remarkable story involves the land itself. After receiving a prophetic word in California that “God has heavenly land for you,” Richard and his prayer team began interceding. Months later, a supporter who had independently received a similar vision years earlier stepped forward. After several twists and delays, the exact piece of land identified in prayer became the site of the monument.
“You cannot make it up,” Richard says. “But when you remember stories like that, you know God is in it. And if He’s in it, you keep going.”
Eternal Wall isn’t just about architecture. It’s about atmosphere.
Revelation 12:11 reminds us that believers overcome “by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.” Richard believes testimony shifts spiritual climates—and Eternal Wall will amplify more than one million of them.
From miraculous healings to restored marriages, from freedom from addiction to small but tender provisions—like a lost hearing aid found after prayer—each story matters.
“We have more people donating than sharing their testimonies,” Richard says. “That’s our greatest prayer need. We need people to tell what God has done.”
Because long after we are gone, those stories will continue speaking.
Eternal Wall is gathering testimonies from around the world. In fact, 30 of the monument’s 188 segments are dedicated to the United States, ensuring that visitors can search stories from their own region.
Richard envisions a child in Peru researching world landmarks, discovering Eternal Wall online, typing in their struggle—and finding Jesus in the process.
For comparison, Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro is searched online roughly once per second. Eternal Wall hopes to create a similar global footprint—but with a living database of miracles attached.
“One person per second discovering a story about Jesus for 150 years,” Richard says. “That’s a vision worth fighting for.”
When asked how he has persevered through two decades of obstacles, Richard smiles.
“Lack of options. God asked me to do it.”
Then he offers a challenge.
“If God has given you a dream, dust it off. Believe Him for the impossible. Nothing is beyond Him.”
Eternal Wall stands as a prophetic declaration: Jesus is alive. He hears. He answers.
And perhaps the next brick belongs to you.
