How Dag Heward-Mills Equips Ministers Through Apostolic Camps
While many spiritual retreats are moments of refreshing, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills’ apostolic camps are moments of reformation. They are long, intense, Spirit-led sessions designed to build the inner man of the minister. These are not conferences for networking—they are sacred spaces for instruction and equipping. In these camps, ministers are not entertained. They are confronted. They are changed.
The atmosphere is different. There is no rush. No need for applause. It is the Word, line upon line, precept upon precept. The teaching goes deep, sometimes lasting several hours in a single session. And yet, the hunger of those in attendance only increases. Because what is being imparted is not information—it is revelation.
Apostolic Foundations for the End-Time Church
Bishop Dag understands that ministry is not sustained by excitement. It is sustained by foundations. That’s why the camps are so crucial. They establish doctrine. They reinforce vision. They deal with issues like loyalty, calling, faithfulness, church planting, and discipleship. These are not side issues—they are the pillars of lasting ministry.
The teaching is apostolic. It’s not shallow. It’s not trendy. It’s weighty and clear, cutting through confusion and false doctrine. Ministers leave with a renewed sense of what it means to lead, to serve, and to stay on course.
In these camps, there is also room for correction. Bishop Dag speaks as a father—direct but loving. He confronts spiritual laziness. He calls out pride. He warns against disloyalty. But all of it is done in love, with the goal of building up ministers who can finish their course with joy.
Raising Sons, Not Stars
The spirit of the apostolic camp is one of fatherhood. Bishop Dag is not interested in raising stars. He is raising sons. Ministers who reflect the character of Christ. Leaders who build churches, not platforms. Servants who are consistent in private and public.
In a world where many desire visibility, Bishop Dag trains for responsibility. The sons that rise from these camps are deeply rooted. They do not fall easily. They do not run at the sight of hardship. They carry something they received in the quiet intensity of these teaching sessions—something that can’t be gained from a podcast or a book alone.
The Flow of Impartation
There is also a spiritual flow in these camps that cannot be explained in words. As Bishop Dag teaches, something beyond the natural happens. Hearts are stirred. Old wounds are healed. Lost vision is restored. The atmosphere is one of reverence and hunger. God is not only present—He is speaking.
Impartation takes place, not just through what is taught, but through what is caught. Many testify that just being in the room changes them. They receive strength, direction, and an inner push to go further in their calling.
That’s the power of these apostolic camps. They are not just moments. They are turning points.
A Lasting Work in Ministers
The ministers trained in these camps return to their churches different. They preach differently. They lead differently. They carry a new fire. And that fire spreads.
The fruit of these camps is not in the numbers that attend—it’s in the churches planted, the souls won, and the ministers who endure. Bishop Dag is not just gathering people. He is equipping them for the long haul.
That is how you build a movement. That is how you prepare the Church for what lies ahead.
And that is why Bishop Dag Heward-Mills continues to gather his sons—again and again—not
