Dag Heward-Mills and the Spirit of Impartation in Leadership Training
In ministry, true leadership is not taught only through words—it is imparted by spirit. This is a truth that Bishop Dag Heward-Mills both teaches and lives. His approach to leadership training is not just instructional; it is deeply spiritual. He understands that the most effective way to raise leaders is not merely to give them knowledge, but to impart something of himself—his convictions, his burden, his anointing.
Over the years, Bishop Dag has raised thousands of leaders across the world. They have not only heard him teach, but they have caught his spirit. They serve with loyalty, humility, zeal, and clarity because they have walked with a man who embodies those qualities. His leadership training is not just a curriculum. It is a transmission of life, character, and purpose.
This spirit of impartation is what keeps his leadership structure strong and unified, even across nations and languages. It is what makes his sons in ministry look and sound like their father—not in personality, but in spirit.
Training Through Proximity and Presence
One of the key principles Bishop Dag emphasizes in leadership development is the importance of proximity. Those who are trained by him are not trained from afar. They are brought close. They observe how he prays, how he makes decisions, how he serves, and how he carries himself. Through that nearness, a transfer happens—not only of skill, but of spirit.
The camps, meetings, and conferences he leads are not just learning environments. They are sacred spaces of impartation. When Bishop Dag teaches on loyalty, leadership, or church growth, something is released beyond the words. His presence becomes a teaching tool. His consistency becomes a living message. And leaders walk away not only informed, but changed.
This is why many who train under his ministry remain steady. They don’t just know what to do—they know who they are, and whose spirit they carry.
Impartation Through Books and Teachings
Though many have not had the opportunity to be physically close to Bishop Dag, his books and recorded teachings have become channels of impartation. As people read and listen, they find themselves transformed. They begin to think differently, act boldly, and serve more faithfully. It is as though something leaps off the page and enters the heart.
This is not an accident. Bishop Dag writes and preaches with the clear intention of transmitting the spirit of ministry. His books like The Art of Leadership, Loyalty and Disloyalty, and The Mega Church are not only instructional—they carry an anointing. They were birthed in prayer, seasoned with experience, and written with apostolic precision.
The same spirit that raised churches and trained leaders in Ghana is now being imparted through those books to churches in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Sons Who Carry the Vision
Perhaps the greatest evidence of this spirit of impartation is the sons Bishop Dag has raised in ministry. They are pastors, missionaries, church planters, and shepherds who speak with the same conviction, serve with the same humility, and build with the same tenacity. They have caught something beyond knowledge. They have caught a spirit.
These sons now train others. They pass on the same teachings, the same values, the same fire. This is the power of impartation—it creates generational impact. It ensures that the work of God continues long after the founder is gone.
Bishop Dag Heward-Mills has not just trained leaders. He has raised sons. And in doing so, he has secured the future of the ministry God gave him.
