Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, General Overseer of the United Denominations of Action Chapel International, has urged middle-aged men to prioritize their prostate health.
Sharing his personal experience, the Archbishop revealed that early detection was crucial in his successful battle against prostate cancer, which remains a leading cause of death among black men.
Delivering this message during the 31st all-night service at Action Chapel on December 31, 2024, he emphasized the importance of regular medical check-ups and proactive health measures.
The sermon, which marked the crossover into the New Year, 2025, inspired congregants to adopt healthier lifestyles and seek timely medical attention.
“If you are 40 plus, make sure you are checking your prostate, you hear me? If you are 40 upwards, make sure you are checking your prostate. Check your prostate at least every three or six months.
“Prostate is one of the things that is killing Black men. I know some places that I can recommend to you too and they can help you and save your life. They saved my life, there are people standing here, I recommended them and they saved their lives.
“If I didn’t do the check I did at the time I did it, I wouldn’t be standing on my feet, I wouldn’t be here. Cut it at the right time, and the enemy has an agenda and it was hiding.”
