A few months ago, I found myself in Milton Keynes, anticipating something I had never seen before…wind tunnel testing. These specialist tests are used to examine the impact of various wind speeds on structures. As partners of the Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer, we at CBN UK have been privileged to stand alongside the project at every significant milestone, and this day marked yet another pivotal step forward.
This particular test was designed to assess how the Infinity Loop would withstand wind pressure. For visionary Richard Gamble, it was a profound moment – his first time seeing a physical representation of the monument, albeit in a scaled-down model. His emotional response was visible to everyone present. It was, quite literally, a glimpse of what’s to come.
Watching the laser flow visualisation test unfold was not only educational and inspiring, but surprisingly beautiful. As smoke and air were carefully directed across the model, a laser beam passed through, creating mesmerising trails of coloured light that brought the movement of the wind to life. It was a powerful and memorable sight.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
From the very beginning, this project has faced a multitude of challenges – planning, funding, approvals, land acquisition, assembling the right experts and teams – the list seems endless. In many ways, it has been a constant test of resilience. And every time the question has been, “Will it pass?” the answer has been a resounding “Yes!”
There’s no doubt about the spiritual battle around this Christian monument, which will glorify God in such a public and permanent way. Obstacles have appeared at every stage, often creating fear and uncertainty. Yet, these moments have also sparked a wave of prayer, lifting up the project in faith and perseverance.
The sheer volume of miracles throughout this journey continues to amaze me and prove the faithfulness of God in this vision. If God has brought the wall through so many challenges, we can trust He’ll see it through these specialist tests too. That doesn’t make the journey any easier, but it deepens the faith of everyone involved.
As Richard so perfectly said, “He does not sit idly by. He’s working for us on this project.” Even this wind tunnel test- a simulation of a one-in-700-year event – could have brought unfavourable results. But once again, God carried it through.
These successful tests pave the way for the foundations of this monument to be constructed. Having received a positive outcome to the Wind Tunnel Testing, the project moves on to the next stages.
In this journey, no challenge seems insurmountable. No setback has proven final. With a God who is faithfully moving this vision forward, I have no doubt that he will bring this dream safely across the finish line!
