He said, \u201cIt is a giant infinity loop. It\u2019s made of a million bricks. It\u2019s about the size of a football pitch, and it sort of arcs up 167 feet into the skyline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, the unique feature of the structure is the meaning each piece of the monument holds: every interactive brick will tell the story of an answered prayer. Gamble said, \u201cEvery single brick in this structure will represent a story of an answered prayer. And people will be able to point their phone at any one of the bricks, and the phone will light up, and it\u2019ll tell them the story of hope that lies within.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gamble said the Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer was sparked by his vision in 2004. He walked across his county with a giant cross to get people thinking deeper about Jesus and said a simple prayer to the Lord: \u201cHey God, what do you want me to do next?\u201d That\u2019s when he got the idea about the monument.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h7lgvkk_VeU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Gamble spent the next 10 years praying about the idea before embarking on another near-decade to make the \u201cdream a reality.\u201d Next year, the cross will officially be under construction. \u201cWe\u2019ve already started the building process,\u201d Gamble said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got the planning permission, the zoning permission, we\u2019ve built the road, and we are just going through the final pieces of the contracts now to get it all signed up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer will be finished by 2026, with hopes of getting King Charles and other dignitaries to the site for its opening. For now, Gamble and his team are working on collecting real-life stories of answered prayer for each of the bricks. He said, \u201cWe are just asking the public, \u2018If you\u2019ve prayed and Jesus has answered, we just wanna hear your story. And so people are going online, and we\u2019ve got a website set up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gamble added that he\u2019s excited to help others \u201cdiscover the God who answers\u201d through each of the bricks and stories. Ironically, he said procuring stories has been the \u201cbiggest challenge\u201d of the process, not preparing to build the structure or fundraising. \u201cThe hardest thing is getting Christians to give us five minutes of their time to actually share a story of what God\u2019s done,\u201d he said. \u201cMy aim is to proclaim the deeds of the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can share your own stories of answered prayer and learn more about the monument\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eternalwall.org.uk\/testimony\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A monument documenting answered prayers and miracles is set to be built in England, with the vast structure serving as an international reminder of God\u2019s influence on people\u2019s lives.
