Archbishop Williams is also the Founder and President of Prayer Summit International (PSI).[1] In 2017, the Archbishop was named by the New African Magazine one of “The 100 Most Influential Africans".[2] Archbishop Williams became the first non-American to lead the prayer for the incoming President and Vice President of the United States during the inauguration.[3] The Archbishop and his wife Lady Rosa Whitaker of The Whitaker Group[4] have been named one of Africa's power couples.,[5]”

Early life

In 1957, he was born to Florence Bruce even though 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. Raj (Hemalatha John Rajaratnam) of Nurses Training College, and the Acquah sisters, who evangelized to him on his hospital bed at what is 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.[6]
