How Bishop Dag Trains Pastors Across Continents
The harvest is truly plentiful, but the laborers are still few. And among those who are willing, many have not been trained. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills recognized this need early in ministry—not just for more workers, but for equipped workers. That recognition became a mission. And now, across continents, he is training pastors who are building churches, reaching souls, and fulfilling their God-given assignments.
Training pastors is not just about passing on information. It’s about shaping lives, molding character, and imparting spiritual strength. That is what Bishop Dag has done faithfully for decades—pouring into men and women who carry the burden of the Gospel.
Through his books, schools, camps, and personal example, he has created a training movement that now spans continents.
Camps That Build Ministers
One of the unique tools Bishop Dag uses in pastoral training is the ministry camp. These are not typical conferences. They are intense, Spirit-filled gatherings where ministers are taught, corrected, challenged, and encouraged. They sit for hours under the Word. They are confronted with the reality of ministry and pushed to go deeper with God.
The camp environment is where many receive clarity for their call, healing for their hearts, and a fresh fire for the mission. It is more than information—it is transformation.
This method of training has equipped thousands of pastors and leaders, many of whom are now running their own churches and raising other leaders. The impact is generational.
Teaching That Equips for the Field
Bishop Dag doesn’t train pastors for the classroom. He trains them for the field. His teachings are deeply practical. They answer the real questions—how to build a church from scratch, how to raise loyal leaders, how to handle spiritual attacks, how to preach with power, how to grow in personal devotion.
He does not shy away from difficult topics. He addresses betrayal, fatigue, pride, moral failure, and other common traps in ministry. His honest, fatherly approach has helped many ministers avoid the mistakes that destroy others.
The training goes beyond theology. It builds ministers who are balanced, bold, and biblically sound.
A Pastor Raising Pastors
What makes Bishop Dag’s training so effective is that he himself is a pastor. He has planted churches, raised sons, dealt with opposition, and persevered through storms. He doesn’t teach theory—he teaches from the trenches. His life is his message.
He leads by example. He prays. He fasts. He builds. And his trainees don’t just hear his words—they see his life. That kind of training leaves a mark. It produces spiritual sons, not just seminar graduates.
Across Africa, Europe, the Americas, and Asia, you will find pastors who say, “I was trained by Bishop Dag.” And when they say it, they say it with honor—because they know the value of what they received.
The training continues. The pastors are still being raised. And the work of God is moving forward—continent by continent, through the hands of trained and faithful leaders.
