When Pastor Brenda Marko and her husband missed their flight from Nigeria to Ghana for the Global Prayer Works Summit, it would have been easy to take it as a sign to turn back. But giving up was never on the table, especially when they knew that what was ahead of them had the power to change their lives.
“Although we missed our flight, “We made up our minds that we were going to come,” Pastor Brenda said on the final day of the summit. “Because we knew this prayer summit would be impactful both physically and spiritually.”
And they were not alone. Many felt the impact.
The Markos were just two of the hundreds who travelled from different corners of the world to be part of the historic event, held for the very first time on the African continent.
Hosted by Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, it took place at the Prayer Cathedral of Action Chapel International in Accra, Ghana’s capital.
The crowd was diverse, and for three days – July 17 to 19 – the Prayer Cathedral became a place of divine encounters. Those who participated came with expectations.
From the Archbishop to every guest speaker, each message pointed participants back to God’s desire to revive His people.
In between the teaching, worship swept through the cathedral like a tide. Ghana’s own Joe Mettle, Sandra Boakye-Duah, Rev. Ella Duncan-Williams, led the congregation in praise and worship.
People waved handkerchiefs, others stood still, hands lifted, tears falling as they soaked in every moment.
One woman testified that she had come exhausted and weak, but everything changed.
“I was so weak in my body,” she said. “But after the Archbishop led us in prayer, my strength was restored.”
But it wasn’t just about miracles. The summit created space for personal reflection. The all-night prayer session on the final day brought everything to a powerful climax. Led by Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and the summit’s guest speakers, it became a time of fervent intercession for homes, churches and entire nations.
As dawn approached on the last night of the summit, the Archbishop addressed the packed audience with a prophetic charge: “Congratulations, God did it. And so did you.” His voice carried both warmth and conviction.
Reading from 1 Timothy 1:18, he urged everyone to “contend for the prophecy” over their lives.
“You can’t leave here and go back to business as usual. As you put into action what you have received here, you will see the manifestation.”
On the morning of the final day, the Archbishop hosted a special breakfast meeting for pastors, ministry leaders and global partners of Nicholas Duncan-Williams Ministries.
What’s Next?
The Organisers, Nicholas Duncan-Williams Ministries have announced that the second Global Prayer Works Summit in Ghana will be held from July 16 to18 next year.
