The Making of a Healing Evangelist: Dag Heward-Mills’ Journey

By worldevangelismblog.com

Every healing evangelist has a story. A path that includes pain, sacrifice, and a constant call to trust God. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills didn’t wake up one day and decide to be an evangelist. It was a call that found him—and a journey that formed him.

Long before the crusade fields and the crowds, there were quiet days of prayer and study. There were moments when he preached to small groups and believed for big miracles. There were days of rejection, misunderstanding, and spiritual warfare. But through it all, he kept his eyes on Jesus.

The call to be a healing evangelist came with responsibility, not fame. It came with a burden for souls, a love for the sick, and a heart that longed to see the power of God revealed.

Trained in the Secret Place

Before Bishop Dag ever stood on a crusade platform, he was trained in the secret place. Hours in the Word. Long nights in prayer. Fasting. Study. Listening. Obeying. That’s where the anointing was formed—not in the spotlight, but in the shadows.

He learned to believe God for healing, not from a book alone, but from walking closely with the Great Physician Himself. He studied how Jesus healed. He meditated on the Gospels. He stepped out in faith. And little by little, the healing anointing began to flow.

There were times when no one responded. Times when people doubted. But he kept going. Because he knew the call was real—and that Jesus is still the Healer.

A Burden for the Broken

What drives Bishop Dag’s healing ministry is not ego—it’s compassion. He is moved by the suffering he sees. Whether it’s a child unable to walk or a woman tormented by sickness, he doesn’t look away. He moves toward them, like Jesus did.

This burden for the broken fuels his travel. It fuels the all-night preparations. It fuels the tears that are sometimes unseen. Healing ministry is not glamorous. It’s painful. It’s heavy. It’s spiritual warfare. But it’s worth it—for even one life made whole.

That’s the heart behind it all—not the miracles, but the people.

Faith to See the Impossible

Over the years, Bishop Dag has developed a faith that refuses to settle. He believes that what God did in the Bible, He still does today. He lays hands on the sick with full expectation. He speaks to disease like Jesus did. He commands healing, not as a show, but as a declaration of the kingdom.

And the testimonies have followed. Blind eyes opened. Deaf ears restored. Cripples walking. Yet, he never takes the glory. Every miracle points back to Christ. Every testimony echoes the name of Jesus.

Faith is the fuel. But Jesus is the source.

A Life Poured Out

Being a healing evangelist isn’t about the stage. It’s about surrender. Bishop Dag has poured out his life for this call. He travels when tired. He prays when others rest. He gives without expecting applause. Because he knows that the reward is not on earth—it’s in eternity.

His life is a seed. A sacrifice. A living message that healing is real, the Gospel is true, and Jesus still saves and heals.

The journey is ongoing. But the fruit is undeniable. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills continues to walk in the footsteps of the Healer—faithfully, humbly, and with a heart full of love.
