Healing as a Doorway to Salvation: A Soul-Winner’s Strategy
There is something about healing that opens hearts. When someone experiences the compassion of Christ in a physical, undeniable way, their soul becomes ready for something more. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills understands this connection. For him, healing is not the end goal—it’s the door that opens into salvation.
The ministry of healing softens the soil of the heart. It brings down barriers. It prepares people to listen. When a sick man is healed, or a child is made whole, the family, the friends, and even entire communities take notice. And in that moment, hearts that were once hardened begin to ask questions.
This is the divine strategy. The miracle gets their attention. The message changes their life.
A Strategy Modeled by Jesus
Jesus never separated healing from preaching. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed, but He always pointed them back to the Father. He would say, “Your faith has made you whole,” and then command them to go and sin no more.
Bishop Dag follows that same example. In every crusade, healing flows—but it always leads to the altar. The message of the cross is always the climax. Because healing in the body is temporary, but salvation is eternal.
When someone gets healed, their gratitude becomes a doorway. And Bishop Dag walks through that door with the Gospel.
Preparing People to Believe
Healing breaks the grip of fear. It confronts long-held doubts. When people see the power of God, they are more willing to hear the voice of God. That’s why Bishop Dag sees healing not just as a miracle, but as preparation.
The physical touch becomes an invitation to a deeper work. Once the body is restored, the soul becomes curious. The heart becomes open. The questions begin to rise: “Who is this Jesus? What does He want from me?” And that’s when the message hits the hardest.
By the time the altar call is made, the decision is not forced—it’s welcomed.
The Healer Who Saves
What makes the Healing Jesus Campaign so impactful is that healing is never presented without salvation. Bishop Dag is always careful to explain that healing is a sign of God’s love, but the greatest expression of that love is the cross.
A miracle may change someone’s condition, but the Gospel changes their direction. That’s why every miracle is followed by an invitation. Every healing is a chance to introduce Jesus—not just as Healer, but as Savior.
And when people come forward in response, it’s not emotionalism—it’s gratitude. It’s surrender. It’s faith that has been awakened through compassion.
Strategy Rooted in Love
At the center of it all is love. Healing ministry is not a tactic—it’s a reflection of the heart of God. Bishop Dag ministers with that same heart. He sees people. He loves them. He wants them healed—but even more than that, he wants them saved.
That’s why healing is such a powerful strategy for soul-winning. It creates a moment of encounter. It breaks down walls. It brings Jesus close. And once He’s close, people are never the same again.
This is what drives the crusades. This is what compels the ministry. Healing is the beginning. Salvation is the goal. And Jesus is the center of it all.
