Ted and Audrey Beckett were challenged by God to establish the Gateway Prayer Garden where people could connect with God and discover His purpose for their lives. The Becketts donated 25 acres of land and started to build the Gateway Prayer Garden in 2017.

As the Becketts were seeking the Lord, He specifically told them that He wanted a Hall of Declaration and a Hall of Heroes. The Hall of Declaration is to be a place to Worship the Lord, Pray, and Declare His Word over our Nation and the Nations of the World. A huge map of the world was to be a focal point with the flags of the Nations standing at attention.

The Hall of Heroes is to share the testimonies of men and women who stood for Jesus in the midst of persecution, so their testimony will encourage and challenge each of us to stand strong for Jesus. Testimonies are very powerful. Testimonies demonstrate how ordinary men and women carried out extraordinary acts of courage because the Lord was guiding them and strengthening them.
