Accra, July 31, GNA-Testimonies take centre stage as Ghana hosts first ever Global Prayer Works Summit in Accra.
When Pastor Brenda Marko and her husband missed their flight from Nigeria to Ghana to attend the Global Prayer Works Summit, it would have been easy to take it as a sign to turn back.
The couple, giving their testimony at the first edition of the Summit, said giving up was never on the table, especially when they knew that what was ahead of them had the power to change their lives.
Pastor Marko said, “Although we missed our flight, we made up our minds that we were going to come.”
“Because we knew this prayer summit would be impactful both physically and spiritually,” Pastor Marko added.
The couple joined thousands to pray at the 2025 Global Prayer Works Summit and they were just two out 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.
A statement issued in Accra said, hosted by Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, the event took place at the Prayer Cathedral of Action Chapel International in Accra.
The crowd was diverse, and for three days – July 17 to 19, 2025 – the Prayer Cathedral became a place of divine encounters and those who participated came with expectations.
It said from the Archbishop to every guest speaker, each message pointed participants back to God’s desire to revive His people.
The statement said in between the teaching, worship swept through the cathedral like a tide and 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.
The statement said one participant at the Summit was overcome with emotion, while another woman testified that she had come exhausted and weak, but everything changed.
“I was so weak in my body but after the Archbishop led us in prayer, my strengthwas restored,” she said.
The Summit was not just about miracles but it also 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.
It said 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.”
Reading from 1 Timothy 1:18, he urged everyone to “contend for the prophecy” over their lives.
“You can not leave here and go back to business as usual. As you put into action what you have received here, you will see the manifestation,” he said.
Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams prayed over the congregation at the All-Night service.
The Organisers of the Global Prayer Works Summit said the second edition of the Summit would be held from July 16 to July 18, 2026.
They said later in October of the same year, the Ministry would take the Summit to Sierra Leone, Gabon, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Congo-Brazzaville, with specific dates expected to be announced soon.
