Archbishop Duncan-Williams Recounts Heavenly Encounter
Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, founder and leader of Action Chapel International, has shared a detailed account of what he described as a spiritual encounter in which he was taken out of his body and transported to heaven. Speaking during a sermon at his church, the veteran Ghanaian preacher told congregants that the experience lasted one hour and 45 minutes.
Details of the Vision
According to Duncan-Williams, he was removed from his body by an angel and shown what he believed to be heaven. Among the most striking sights, he described standing on a high mountain where the grass appeared to shimmer like diamonds. He recounted: "I went there for 1 hour 45 minutes. I was taken out of my body to heaven. I saw some very interesting things. One of the things I saw was that an angel took me to a high mountain and the grass was like diamonds."
During the encounter, Duncan-Williams said he met a man he identified as Elder Saki, describing him as one of the spiritual fathers who had previously prayed for him. He related that an angel asked if he recognised anyone in the vicinity, and when he answered yes, Elder Saki approached him, driving a gleaming white car that shone like diamonds.
"While I was standing there, one of the fathers that brought me out in prayer, Elder Saki, the angel said to me, 'Do you know anybody here?' and I said yes. He drove on this beautiful grass and came to see me," Duncan-Williams shared.
The archbishop added that Elder Saki addressed him by his first name, prompting him to respond with "Papa." Elder Saki then gave him a pass to return to his body, according to Duncan-Williams.
Significance of the White Car
Duncan-Williams explained that the white car held special significance, noting that it was Elder Saki's dream car while he was alive. "Apparently, that was his dream car when he was on earth, so he got it in heaven," he said.
A Call to Obedience
The preacher used the experience to encourage his congregation to follow spiritual instructions, suggesting that obedience could lead to similar encounters. He was quoted as saying: "If you follow the instructions of the Spirit, some people will have an encounter to go to heaven. You won't die, but you will go to heaven and see heaven, then you come back."
Broader Reception
The sermon has drawn attention online, with a video of Duncan-Williams's claims circulating on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). Both Pulse Ghana and Yen News reported on the archbishop's account, conveying his testimony without overt skepticism or endorsement, and both outlets highlighted the duration of the experience and the encounter with Elder Saki in their coverage.
