The Prayer Wall
For 18 years, Richard Gamble has pursued a dream - to build a huge national landmark, made from a million bricks and dedicated to Christian prayer. Will his hopes be realised?
Richard Gamble believes God has given him a mission: to build a huge national monument, made from a million bricks, each representing an answered Christian prayer.
It seems an impossible task for a sports chaplain who has no experience of construction. And yet over the past eight years, he's managed to pull together a project team, raise thousands of pounds and launch a global design competition with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).
But before a single brick can be laid, they need to secure a site to lay it. Richard hopes lie in the Edmistons - a family multimillionaires and evangelical Christians, who own extensive land in the West Midlands.
Will his hopes be realised? Will he find a home for the Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer?
