The Western Wall in Jerusalem is all that remains of the original temple where Jesus taught,
prayed, and worshiped. This temple was known as Herod's Temple which was built after the
original temple, Solomon's Temple, was destroyed.
This is the holiest place in the world to the Jewish people. It represents, to them, the covenant of
God with the Jewish people. From the day after its destruction Jews have gathered to weep and
pray on the ruins of the temple - hence the name the Wailing Wall.
Jews have prayed at the Wailing Wall for two thousand years, believing that this spot has greater
holiness than any other place on earth due to it’s close proximity to the Holy of Holies of the
temple. Since the temple was the main channel between man and God, and the wall is the only
remaining part of it, it is customary for pilgrims and visitors to place notes and folded prayers in the
cracks of the wall, as messages to God.

It is with the same Spirit of coming close to God that The
Prayer Center has erected a Wailing Wall. It is a meeting
place with Him. Here, you are invited to write out your
prayers and slip them into the cracks of the wall.

When King Solomon built and consecrated the temple, he specifically asked God that He heed
the prayers of righteous non-Jews within the temple walls, saying "And when foreigners hear of
you and your mighty miracles, and they come from distant lands to worship your great name and
to pray toward this Temple, then hear from heaven where you live, and grant what they ask of you.
Then all the people of the earth will come to know and fear you, just as your own people Israel do.
They, too, will know that this Temple I have built bears your name.” (2 Chronicles 6:32-33 NLT)
The Prayer Center was ‘built’ with the heart cry of Solomon’s prayer. That, although Methodist in
origin, it would be a place of prayer for all people throughout the world. God has answered this
prayer as The Prayer Center has received visitors of all denominations from throughout the world.
