Reaching the Unreached: The Global Focus of Dag Heward-Mills’ Ministry
There are places in the world where no church exists. Regions where no preacher has gone. Villages where the name of Jesus has never been heard. These are the places Bishop Dag Heward-Mills feels most drawn to. His heart burns for the unreached—not just those outside the church, but those completely outside the reach of the Gospel.
The vision of reaching the unreached is more than a strategy—it is a divine burden. Bishop Dag often speaks of the nations, the remote towns, the forgotten people groups. He believes that no one is too far for God to reach, and no place is too difficult for the Gospel to enter.
This is why he has chosen the hard places—the villages with no electricity, the towns with no roads, the regions hostile to the faith. He goes where others may hesitate, because he knows that the harvest is not just in the cities. It’s in the forgotten corners of the world.
A Missionary Spirit
To reach the unreached, one must carry a missionary spirit. Bishop Dag is not only an evangelist—he is an apostle with a missionary mantle. He builds with long-term vision. He sends teams. He plants churches. He trains locals. He doesn’t just preach and leave—he establishes spiritual infrastructure that will last.
This is the heart of the Healing Jesus Campaign. It is not merely an event—it is an invasion of light into dark territories. The crusades are targeted. The regions are prayed over. The entry is strategic. And when the Gospel is preached, it brings transformation—spiritually, socially, and generationally.
His passion for the unreached has also influenced his church planting vision. United Denominations Originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches (UD-OLGC) now spans many nations, with churches planted in places most would overlook. These churches are often the only Christian witness in their communities.
Crossing Every Barrier
To reach the unreached, one must cross barriers—language, culture, infrastructure, and even spiritual resistance. Bishop Dag’s ministry has broken through all of these. His books have been translated into multiple languages. His crusade teams include interpreters, medical workers, and local coordinators. His messages are contextualized without compromising truth.
Even the logistical side of the ministry is focused on reaching the hardest places. Mobile stages, self-powered equipment, and flexible travel teams make it possible to minister where others cannot go. This is not convenience-based evangelism. It is mission-minded, sacrifice-driven, and eternally focused.
Fueling the Burden
What keeps Bishop Dag going is the burden. The spiritual weight of knowing there are still millions who have not heard the name of Jesus. His sermons are filled with this urgency. His books plead with believers to go. His life models what it looks like to leave comfort behind for the sake of the Gospel.
He teaches his leaders and church members to carry the same burden. His training centers emphasize missions. His pastors are sent, not kept. His denomination does not grow by consolidation—it grows by sending. It grows by going.
The unreached are not unreachable. But they are waiting. And Bishop Dag Heward-Mills is one of the few who has answered the call to go where others won’t.
The Task Is Not Finished
There is still more ground to cover. More nations to touch. More souls to rescue. But through Bishop Dag’s unwavering commitment to reaching the unreached, the kingdom of God continues to expand. Churches are being born in unreached places. The Gospel is being preached where it has never been heard. And lives are being transformed by the simple, powerful name of Jesus.
The work is not finished—but it is moving forward. And Bishop Dag Heward-Mills continues to lead the charge, carrying the Gospel to the ends of the earth, one soul at a time.
