Dag Heward-Mills and the Ministry of Reproducing Ministers
One of the most powerful things Bishop Dag Heward-Mills has taught the Church is that ministry is not meant to be carried alone. Every calling must be multiplied. Every mantle must be passed on. And every minister must reproduce.
He has lived this truth from the earliest days of his ministry. Rather than trying to do everything himself, he made a conscious decision to raise up others—to train them, equip them, and release them. He understood that the vision was too big for one man, and the harvest too great for one worker.
The ministry of reproducing ministers has now become one of the strongest features of his global work. Churches are growing. Missionaries are being sent. New pastors are rising. And behind it all is a father in the faith who believed in sons and daughters before they believed in themselves.
Training With a Father’s Heart
Bishop Dag does not train ministers from a distance. He brings them close. He teaches them through camps, personal mentorship, and books that speak to both the spirit and the mind. He is not raising celebrities—he is raising servants. Ministers who will love the people, carry the burden of the Gospel, and walk in loyalty and humility.
He corrects with love. He guides with patience. He imparts with intention. And those who are trained under him rise not just with knowledge, but with conviction. They don’t just know what to do—they carry his heart while doing it.
This kind of training produces ministers who last. They don’t fall at the first sign of resistance. They don’t compete with each other. They build together, because they’ve been built right.
Reproducing Through Books and Structures
Bishop Dag’s ministry of reproducing ministers has been strengthened through his writing. His books are not just teachings—they are blueprints. From The Art of Leadership to Loyalty and Disloyalty, he has written with the clear goal of reproducing ministers who can carry the work of God into the future.
He also builds systems that help these ministers grow. Bible schools, leadership ladders, training programs, and pastoral structures are all designed with multiplication in mind. Every leader is trained to train others. Every pastor is expected to raise more pastors. Every church is a potential training center for the next generation.
This kind of system ensures that ministry doesn’t plateau. It keeps the work growing, reproducing, and advancing with clarity and strength.
Fruit That Speaks for Itself
Today, there are thousands of ministers around the world who trace their growth back to the influence of Dag Heward-Mills. Some were raised in his local churches. Others were trained through his books. Some attended his camps and conferences. Others received one-on-one mentorship. But all of them carry the same spirit.
They are ministers who preach faithfully. Who build loyally. Who sacrifice willingly. Who serve with joy. And this is the legacy of a man who didn’t hold the calling to himself—but gave it away, again and again.
Dag Heward-Mills has proven that the greatest measure of a minister is not in how well he preaches, but in how many others he raises. His ministry is filled with voices that echo his, not to flatter, but to continue the work. His fruit is not just in what he has done, but in who he has sent.
