The General Overseer of the United Denominations of Action Chapel International, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, has urged middle-aged men to prioritize their prostate health.
Speaking during the 31st all-night service on December 31, as congregants at Action Chapel ushered in the New Year, 2025, the Archbishop shared his personal experience checking his prostate early which helped save his life.
He attributed his recovery to early detection and emphasized the importance of regular health checks.
Prostate cancer, he noted, remains one of the leading causes of death, particularly among black men. He encouraged men to take proactive steps in monitoring their health to ensure early intervention if needed.
“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, they are people standing here, I recommended them and they saved their lives.
“And 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.”
