Joseph Renwick Randon
Joseph Renwick Randon is the founder and visionary behind Big Prayer Museum — a Global Living Museum dedicated to preserving memory, elevating story, and inviting people into a shared mission of purpose and participation.
His roots in the Big Prayer area and the inspiration drawn from his grandmother’s legacy shaped a vision that extends far beyond any single location: a living record of faith, culture, and human connection carried forward in public form.
The museum is not built as a personal monument, but as a living record — a place where story becomes stewardship, and where the next generation can enter the narrative with clarity and courage.
Big Prayer is not just a place to visit — it is a place to enter the story, take your position, and help move the mission forward.
— Joseph Renwick Randon
Big Prayer Place
The physical place where memory, objects, and story come together.
Big Prayer Place is the museum’s living ground — the rooms, paths, and gathering spaces where visitors first meet the story in material form.
From the structure itself to the arrangement of artifacts and light, every detail is shaped to carry memory forward with dignity and warmth.
It is both anchor and invitation: a real site where reflection becomes encounter, and where the documentary narrative steps off the page and into lived experience.
The Space
A real site shaped for memory, reflection, and encounter.
The Collection
Artifacts, media, and material testimony from generations of lived faith and community.
The Environment
Land, setting, and stewardship — caring for the place that frames the whole story.
Purpose of this section: to introduce the physical place where Big Prayer Museum lives and where visitors first encounter the story.
The Roots of Big Prayer
Before it became a museum, Big Prayer was already a place of memory, meaning, and legacy.
Big Prayer Museum began in the roots — in the memory, land, family legacy, and lived story of Big Prayer.
Before it became a museum, Big Prayer carried meaning through people, place, and inherited memory. It was created to preserve what came before and carry it forward with purpose.
The museum now gives form to those roots as a living record for future generations.
Purpose of this section
Explain the place, memory, land, and legacy that shaped Big Prayer Museum and why it was built to preserve and carry the story forward.
New Millennium Mission Tour
The New Millennium Mission Tour carries the museum’s story into communities around the world — through gatherings, conversations, and visible acts of faith that connect people to a larger movement.
Each stop becomes a living chapter: a moment where memory meets momentum, and where the documentary narrative expands through real relationships and shared purpose.
