How Dag Heward-Mills Combines Evangelism with Healing Ministry

By worldevangelismblog.com

In the life and ministry of Jesus, evangelism and healing often went hand in hand. He would preach the kingdom, and then He would heal the sick. He would call people to repentance, and then touch their brokenness. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills follows this same pattern. His ministry has always reflected a powerful balance between the preaching of the Gospel and the demonstration of God’s healing power.

He doesn’t elevate one over the other. He sees both as expressions of God’s love. He knows that salvation is the ultimate healing, but he also believes that physical healing is a divine testimony that opens hearts to receive the Word. As a result, his crusades are full of both preaching and power, repentance and restoration, truth and tangible transformation.

This balance has made his ministry both fruitful and sustainable. Because it is not built on sensationalism. It is built on Scripture.

Evangelism That Embraces the Whole Person

Bishop Dag’s approach to evangelism is holistic. He sees the sinner not just as someone who needs a new destination, but someone who needs restoration in every area of life. That’s why he doesn’t ignore physical suffering during his crusades. He embraces it. He speaks to it. And he calls on God to intervene.

His altar calls are always followed by prayer for the sick. And not as a token gesture, but with genuine faith and compassion. He believes God wants to save the soul and touch the body. And in his meetings, that is exactly what happens. The message brings faith. The faith brings healing. And the healing leads to glory.

This kind of evangelism is what the world is crying out for. Not just words, but power. Not just power, but love. Not just love, but truth.

Healing That Opens the Heart

In many of the regions where Bishop Dag ministers, people have deep needs—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. When healing begins to flow, something shifts in the crowd. Skepticism melts. Hearts open. People who had hardened themselves against the Gospel begin to listen. Because they see a love that is not distant. They see a Jesus who doesn’t just talk—He touches.

Many testimonies begin with a healing and end with a salvation. That’s the pattern. The miracle opens the door, and the Gospel comes rushing in. This is not accidental. It is intentional. Bishop Dag understands that miracles are a servant to the message. And he never lets them overshadow the cross.

His healing ministry never becomes the main event. It remains what it should be—an act of mercy that prepares the way for the Word.

A Model for Modern Ministry

In a generation where some focus only on social outreach and others only on spiritual gifts, Bishop Dag stands in the middle. He shows us what it looks like to hold both with balance and integrity. He reminds us that evangelism without power is incomplete, but healing without the Gospel is empty.

Through his life, he models a kind of ministry that is both spiritual and strategic. He equips pastors to do the same. He trains missionaries to preach the Word and believe for miracles. He teaches that the power of God is not outdated. It is essential.

The world is not just looking for answers—they are looking for healing. And in Bishop Dag’s ministry, they find both.
