Founder and leader of Action Chapel International, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, has shared an account of what he described as a spiritual encounter in which he was taken out of his body and shown what he believes was heaven before returning.
Speaking during a sermon at his church, the renowned Ghanaian preacher said the experience lasted about one hour and 45 minutes.
According to Archbishop Duncan-Williams, he was taken to what he described as a high mountain, where he saw grass that appeared to shine like diamonds.
“I went there for 1 hour 45 minutes. I was taken out of my body to heaven. I saw some very interesting things,” he recounted.
He said an angel took him to the mountain, where he encountered Elder Saki, whom he identified as one of the elders who had previously prayed for him.
Recounting the encounter, Archbishop Duncan-Williams said the angel asked whether he knew anyone in the place.
He said he answered in the affirmative before Elder Saki approached him in what he described as a beautiful white car that shone like diamonds.
According to the preacher, Elder Saki mentioned his first name, prompting him to respond, “Papa.”
He said Elder Saki then gave him a pass to return to his body.

Archbishop Duncan-Williams further explained that the white car had a special significance because, according to him, 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.
The Archbishop also used the experience to encourage his congregation to pay attention to spiritual instructions.
He suggested that obedience to such instructions could lead some people to have similar spiritual encounters.
“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,” he said.
Archbishop Duncan-Williams presented the experience as a personal spiritual encounter and testimony shared with his congregation.
I have been to heaven before. I went there for 1 hour 45 min.
