Can you help make hope visible?

HERE IS a great way that each of us can witness, in solid bricks and mortar, to our journey with God.

The Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer is a glorious landmark under construction NOW. Each of the one million bricks will digitally hold a story of prayer answered. And Open Table Network supporters are invited to tell our stories.

How will people learn about your own story?

Each brick will digitally link to an individual and their story… it’s a celebration on a huge scale, a soaring testament to a million answered prayers.

The Eternal Wall team says:

 ‘Help to Make Hope Visible by sharing your answered prayers at eternalwall.org.uk/testimony. Together we can declare to the world that Jesus is alive, He listens and He answers prayer.

‘Today, hope can be in short supply, and is needed more than ever. That’s why Eternal Wall’s mission is to  Make Hope Visible ! We believe this will be a people’s landmark, created by hundreds of thousands of individuals from all walks of life, for the benefit of the nation and beyond; a million voices sharing unique accounts of encounters with Jesus Christ. We are seeking stories from across the broad church so that every expression of the Christian experience is represented, displaying the infinite facets of God through the way He interacts with His children.’

The 51.5 metre Möbius strip will be seen by more than 800,000 people every week. An augmented reality app will allow visitors to:

  • Hold a phone up to any brick to unlock the associated story

  • Zoom in on bricks out of reach

  • Search for stories about specific situations or topics

  • Continue their spiritual journey by connecting with our Christian organisation partners

Three quarters of the answered prayers will come from the UK, and one quarter from Christians around the world. These contributions will include 75,000 heritage stories dating back to the third century AD. The Eternal Wall team explains:

‘We want to inspire visitors with the accounts of the lives of heroes of the faith; those who have gone before and experienced the faithfulness of God through the centuries; the very same God who walks with us through the storms of life, and who is still able to change circumstances today.

‘Everyone is welcome to visit Eternal Wall - whether on-site or online - and explore the stories of hope within; those with a faith or those with none; those with hope and those in despair. Hope, made visible for all God’s children.’

Visit the Eternal Wall website to see the vastness of this new landmark, in honour of and gratitude for God’s listening love, and as a way to make hope visible in the UK and across the world.
