Dag Heward-Mills: Putting Apostolic Vision on Paper
The apostolic call on Bishop Dag Heward-Mills’ life is evident. He has planted churches across continents, raised leaders across generations, and taught biblical truths that anchor entire denominations. But one of the most strategic things he has done is to put that vision into writing. He has put the movement on paper.
Books have become his way of preserving what God has shown him. They are more than teachings—they are the written expression of an apostolic mandate. And through them, the vision continues to run, even when he is not physically present.
Putting vision into writing has allowed Bishop Dag to multiply himself beyond the limits of time and location. The same truths that birthed revival in one nation can now spark growth in another. The same structures that stabilized one church can now strengthen hundreds more.
His books carry the DNA of the ministry—and that is what gives them lasting power.
Writing That Builds Foundations
Apostolic vision is not built on excitement. It is built on doctrine. That is why Bishop Dag’s books are so focused on foundations. He writes about the local church, leadership, loyalty, discipleship, and evangelism—not because they are trendy, but because they are essential.
Each book builds something. The Art of Leadership builds capacity in those who serve. Church Planting builds a roadmap for missionaries. The Art of Shepherding builds love for the flock. The books don’t just inform—they establish.
They give people something to build on. Something that lasts. Something that carries the spirit and structure of the house.
A Writing Ministry with Apostolic Fruit
The fruit of Bishop Dag’s writing can be seen in churches planted, pastors trained, and believers matured. It’s not just that the books sell—it’s that they work. People apply what they read, and the results are tangible. Ministries grow. Leaders become sharper. Churches gain stability.
And because the books are portable, the vision moves. It moves into Bible schools. It moves into rural villages. It moves into urban megacities. Apostolic vision has never moved faster than it does through the written word.
That is what makes his writing ministry so powerful. It is not just a side project. It is a key part of the apostolic call.
Raising Sons Through Pages
Bishop Dag has raised many sons in the faith. Some through direct mentorship. Others through his books. His writing becomes a father’s voice to those who are hungry to serve. He imparts spirit, not just knowledge. He calls people to sacrifice, not comfort. He invites them into the burden of the ministry—not just the blessing.
Young ministers who have never met him in person speak of the deep connection they feel through his writing. They study his books. They build from his teachings. They walk in his footsteps. That’s what happens when apostolic vision is written down—it becomes transferable.
And the next generation is running with it.
