This 2015 image depicts the space as we found it before Urban Abbey built a prayer tower. It is from this rubble that God transformed ancient walls and broken glass into a place of worship. This symbolizes one of the great hopes of our prayers. That God would take our broken selves and make us into a sanctuary of his presence.
That century-old ladder that we found in the original site, remains in the Prayer Tower as a relic from the original builders.
