Accra: 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.
According to Ghana News Agency, Pastor Marko expressed their determination by stating, '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.' The couple joined thousands to pray at the 2025 Global Prayer Works Summit and 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 noted that the event, hosted by Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, took place at the Prayer Cathedral of Action Chapel International. 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 detailed that from the Archbishop to every guest speaker, each message pointed participants back to God's desire to revive His people.
The statement further described how, in between the teaching, worship swept through the cathedral as Ghana's own Joe Mettle, Sandra Boakye-Duah, and 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 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 strength was restored,' she said.
The Summit, while centered on miracles, also provided a 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.' Reading from 1 Timothy 1:18, he urged everyone to 'contend for the prophecy' over their lives.
The Organisers of the Global Prayer Works Summit announced the second edition of the Summit would be held from July 16 to July 18, 2026. They also shared that 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.
