Former teacher and Elim Cov-entry administrator Michelle Heritage recently set out on a very different career path to gather a remarkable one million answered prayers for a major UK Christian landmark set to open in Coleshill in the Midlands.
Michelle says the way God led her to take on the position as Head of Answered Prayer for the Eternal Wall was Holy Spirit led.
“I had been working as a teacher for many years and used to teach at Nexus, which is a Christian worship college. Then having worked in schools in Coventry for quite a few years I had a Holy Spirit prompting to get in touch with Dave Silber who used to be Principal at Nexus.
“It turned out that he had just started working at the Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer and he told me they were looking for somebody to take on a new position as Head of Answered Prayer. As he described it, I just thought that this is why I was meant to meet him. This is the job that I’m supposed to be doing.”
Michelle initially took on the role part-time while still working as an administrator for Elim Coventry. Then just before Christmas last year she started working full-time for the project, which she says is extremely rewarding.
“I’m responsible for collecting answered prayers from all around the world and connecting with organisations that believe in the power of testimony. I’m also gathering answered prayers from the history of the UK.
“It shows that God has been very much active in the formation of the UK as a nation and answering prayers that have changed the course of history through people like William Wilberforce and Amy Carmichael.”
