Archbishop Duncan-Williams calls for prayers to restore Ghana's water bodies and land from illegal mining pollution
Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, General Overseer of Action Chapel International, has urged prayers for the healing of Ghana's water bodies and land, which he says are being poisoned by illegal mining, known as galamsey. Speaking to his congregation on Sunday, August 10, 2026, the Archbishop warned that the ongoing destruction could jeopardize the country's food security and public health. He highlighted concerns that contaminated land might eventually be unable to produce crops, or that crops grown in such conditions could expose consumers to harmful substances, including mercury. Archbishop Duncan-Williams emphasized that addressing these environmental issues should involve not only politicians but also citizens and religious organizations.
