How Dag Heward-Mills Is Raising a New Generation of Evangelists
At the heart of Bishop Dag Heward-Mills’ ministry is the unwavering call to obey the Great Commission. His life has been a loud and consistent yes to the words of Jesus—“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” This commission is not just a personal mission; it is a fire he has passed on to countless others.
For over three decades, Bishop Dag has not only preached Christ crucified, but has raised evangelists who do the same. From city centers to remote villages, the message has remained clear: the world must hear the Gospel. And through his relentless teaching, crusades, and books, men and women have been trained, anointed, and sent to proclaim the good news.
He has refused to allow evangelism to become an event or a department in the church. Instead, he has restored it to its rightful place—as the heartbeat of the Church. His life continues to challenge others not to admire evangelism, but to become evangelists.
Training Through Example
Bishop Dag’s approach to raising evangelists has always been rooted in example. He does not send people into places he hasn’t gone himself. He preaches to crowds in open fields, sometimes enduring difficult travel and harsh conditions, just to reach one more soul. His passion for souls is not a theory—it is a lifestyle.
Those who travel with him on the Healing Jesus Campaign often speak of the intense atmosphere of faith and purpose. Evangelism is not romanticized. It is taught as a real, sacrificial, Spirit-empowered work. Through long hours of prayer, deep preparation in the Word, and humility in service, Bishop Dag models what it truly means to be a witness.
This kind of living example is what has drawn many into the work of the evangelist. Young men and women, inspired by what they see, begin to understand that they too can be used by God. And with Bishop Dag’s books and camps providing further training, they are not only inspired—they are equipped.
Imparting the Burden for Souls
One of the most powerful marks of Bishop Dag’s ministry is the way he imparts a burden for souls. He preaches about hell, not to condemn, but to awaken. He speaks about eternity with urgency, because he understands what is at stake. And as he preaches, the Holy Spirit works through his words, stirring hearts with a divine compassion for the lost.
Through his writings like Many Are Called and The Art of Soul Winning, Bishop Dag makes it clear that every believer has a part to play. He does not leave the work of evangelism to a select few. He believes the entire Church must rise to preach. And he calls people to lay down their excuses and pick up their cross.
The next generation of evangelists is not being raised in classrooms alone. They are being raised at altars, in crusade fields, in prayer camps, and through the pages of anointed books. They are catching the fire, and they are being sent with power.
A Legacy That Will Outlive Him
Perhaps the most beautiful part of Bishop Dag’s evangelistic ministry is that it has not been built around his name, but around Christ. He is intentional about multiplying himself. He is not trying to be the only voice—he is raising voices.
He continues to raise sons and daughters in ministry who will carry this fire into places he may never go. Churches that once had no evangelistic outreach now have full ministries dedicated to winning souls. Nations that were once closed to the Gospel are being reached by missionaries trained under his leadership.
This is legacy. This is fruit that will remain.
Bishop Dag Heward-Mills is not just preaching the Gospel—he is raising a generation who will never stop preaching it. And as long as that generation continues to rise, the light of Christ will keep pushing back the darkness across the earth.
