Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams born 12 May 1957 is the Presiding Archbishop and General Overseer of the Action Chapel International (ACI) ministry, headquartered in Accra,, Ghana. He is the founder of the Charismatic Movement which started 40 years ago in Ghana and other parts of West Africa.
Archbishop Duncan-Williams is also the Founder and President of Prayer Summit International (PSI). In 2017, Archbishop Duncan-Williams was named by the New African Magazine one of “The 100 Most Influential Africans. He became the first non-American to lead the prayer for the incoming President and Vice President of the United States of America (USA) during the inauguration of President Donald Trump. Archbishop Duncan-Williams and his wife Rosa Whitaker of The Whitaker Group have been named one of Africa’s power couples.
In 1957, Archbishop Duncan-Williams was born to Florence Bruce despite the fact that doctors had earlier told her that her pregnancy was a risk to her health and, therefore, conducted a medical procedure to terminate the pregnancy. Months later, Mother Florence discovered that Baby Nicholas survived the medical procedure. It was then discovered that she was actually carrying twins—with baby Nicholas being the only survivor.
His father, E.K. Duncan-Williams, an Ambassador, politician and chief, became actively involved in Nicholas’ life at the age of 16. With 43 sisters and brothers, Nicholas primarily raised himself learning the art of survival through difficult circumstances at a very young age. While growing up, on multiple occasions, he nearly lost his life.
In 1976, on the bed of affliction—after tragically losing three of his fingers, Nicholas Duncan-Williams, was converted by nurses, Mrs. Raji, an Indian lady and the Acquah sisters, who evangelised to him on his hospital bed at now Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra. From that moment he gave his life to Christ and made a vow that he would spread the gospel throughout the nations and serve God for the rest of his life
After receiving his Holy Ghost baptism in the Church of Pentecost, he attended Bishop Idahosa’s Church of God Mission International Bible College in Nigeria to be trained as a pastor. After returning he founded the Christian Action Faith Ministries (CAFM) and the Action Chapel International (ACI).
The CAFM was the first Charismatic church in Ghana. The Christian Action Faith Ministries has its headquarters at Action Chapel International, which is one of Accra’s largest mega-churches. Having started as a prayer meeting in his father’s house, CAFM moved to several locations (Fadama, Tradefair, International Students’ Hall, Diplomatic Shop) as it grew till it eventually came to find its headquarters at Spintex Road, where the Prayer Cathedral is located since 1992. Since then CAFM has grown across Ghana, Africa and the world with branches across Europe and North America.
He is also the Founder of an NGO Compassion in Action Africa that is transforming schools under trees into 21st-century primary educational facilities while also providing clean water and other forms of support. Compassion in Action also supports an orphanage with 150 children and a drug rehabilitation facility with 120 people recovering from drug addiction.
Archbishop Duncan-Williams is the Founder of Dominion University, based in Ghana, which aims to train a new generation in excellence and ethical leadership for ministry, government, and business. He is also the founder and visionary of Dominion Television, a Christian lifestyle channel that is broadcast across 16 nations in Africa.

Massa; I wish I could meet you face to face and tell you the real TRUTH about this kleptomaniac Duncan -Williams ; you guys are so narrow minded about religious doctrine and believe and believe anything that you are told ; Please that doing good does not absolve you from you sins or your bad deeds neither does singing and praying and preaching emotional religious words help you because Pastors like Duncan -Williams play on your emotions ; these Pastors and Prophets may help a few people here and there in society but what you should know is that there are people who never go to church to listen to these corrupr pastors including Duncan -William but do more good than this criminal minded toad called Duincan -Williams besides preaching the word of God does mean you are a good person ;most pastors have sinisters motives for preaching the word ogf GOd ; go to the US and see how many pastors do good but that has not changed the mindset of blacks folks in the US ; these pastors preach for themselves and make themselves wealthy in society ; Duncan -Williams and other pastors in Ghana are a cabal of Bible preachers who have taken the trouble to manipulate the mindset of Ghanaians including preaching envy ;stealing ; tell lies to get rich overnight ; if Duncan -Wiiliams ; Mensah-Otabil ; Owusu -Bempah and these other Pastors and Prophets are doing good Ghana would be a pradise but today see yourself the poverty and stealing including Duncan -Willims ; massa if you wish ;learn more about the real goodness of life and mercy go read about the metaphysical and after life and you shall that all these pastors and Prophets are BILL SHEETERS !!!!!!!
Mr Man whowas not bold enough to put down your name, I wish to say that if you do not have anything to say please do not insult Papa. For some of us he helped transform our lives back in the 80's at Presec Legon. Visit the Action Chaple every week day from 5.30am to 6.30am and you will see the work he is doing there. I am a stunch Presbyterian and I strongly stand by my faith but on the occations that I have visited Action Chapel International, trust me, God has taken me to a different dimention through the exploits of Papa and his able lietenants like Bishop Emit Obodai. You may visit ACI on 31st December 2017 for their watchnight service and you will NEVER return home the same. May th Lord have mercy on us all. Amen
Glory be to God. I salute You, Daddy for you are a blessing to mother Ghana, Africa and the Gobal world.
This man Duncan -Williams is not what he seem to be ; the guy is liar ; an armed robber ; thiff and a mind set of manipulation of his congrgation ; this is a guy who was trained in a bostal 'Abo fra Bone hostel' who led a unsavoury life and to claim his religious training as a achievement is far from the TRUTH ;why does the article not tell us about his past robberies ; to me setting up a church or being a leading member of the pastors fraternity in Ghana today is a complete FRAUD !!!!!; these pastors are the cause of the poor mindset of Ghanaians today ; they tell us to spend time in churches praying and paying otithes to make them rich ; this dud lives in the most disreable area Trassacco in Accra ; who pays for the building for him to live this luxurious life and to say GOd have blessed him is false and complete Fraud because just because you a pastor and have up a achurch and built a university does not make a blessed one besides having loads of money is not everything ; all these pastors in Ghana includin this CROOK Duncan -William is a mindset thiff .
spiritually out of orbit,he understands what it means.maerially a man of God,but not called.they are many and he is one of them
I picked on Action in the 1978 at Teachers Hall when I was a student at Presbyterian Boys Secondary School Legon. I have followed him and his preaching to December 2017. PAPA WE SALUTE
Thank you Man of God for heeding to the call of God. Your influence on the lives and ministries of many Christians/Pastors/Church Leaders in Ghana and beyond cannot be over emphasised. You are a blessed man. Thank you for being who you are.
Daddy God richly bless you
