Christian leaders across all denominations gathered to bless the site in Coleshill, Birmingham, UK, where the world’s largest Christian landmark, the Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer, will start construction early next year.It was the coming together of a diverse collective of Christians, united in worship, reciting a prayer written for the event, walking from East to West to consecrate the land where the wall will be built.This was a unique moment where every style of Christianity, from Greek Orthodox through to Pentecostal was welcomed.There was power in the unity of over 200 members of the broad church praying together.Many leaders observed and reported a strong presence of God on the land. In reference to Jesus’s prayer in John 17 of “Let them be one”, if this project can become part of that answer, it will be something monumental indeed.Bishop Mike Royal, General Secretary of Churches Together, opened the event, followed by Ness Wilson of Open Heaven Church in Loughborough and Rev Betty King of Truthvine church, London who each led prayers and reflections. Pastor Rasaq Ibrahim of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Erdington concluded the day with closing prayers.This was followed by a two-day blessing, where over 150 Christians visited the site to pray.The blessing of the site was a unique chance for supporters to experience the physicality of this project, from the newly built access road to the reality of the wall’s scale, illustrated by a drone flying at 51.5 metres above the land, representing the peak of the arch.The Eternal Wall as a monument of hope, will no doubt attract visitors from across the globe when it opens in 2026, but the stories will also live digitally in the largest-ever database of answered prayer, accessible worldwide, helping move hearts to restore faith in the absolute of prayer.ALSO READ: Tatiana Barnett’s Album Garners 1 Million Streams
