How Dag Heward-Mills Ministers Healing with the Compassion of Christ
Healing ministry is not about performance—it’s about people. And for Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, healing flows not from a desire to be seen, but from a deep well of compassion. The same compassion that moved Jesus to heal the sick, cast out devils, and raise the dead, is the compassion that drives Bishop Dag to minister healing to the multitudes.
Whether in a crusade field filled with thousands or a one-on-one encounter with a sick individual, his approach is the same. He sees beyond the illness and into the soul. He ministers not only to symptoms but to the heart. And that is where healing begins.
His voice is not harsh or demanding. It is filled with the gentleness of a shepherd. His prayers are not complicated. They are full of faith, but also full of love. This is what sets his healing ministry apart—it is not mechanical. It is deeply personal.
A Ministry That Mirrors Christ
In the Gospels, we often read that Jesus was “moved with compassion” before He healed. Bishop Dag walks in that same spirit. He doesn’t see healing as a show of power. He sees it as an extension of the heart of God. And because his heart has been molded by years of prayer, fasting, and service, it has become a channel through which the love of God flows freely.
He prays for the sick because he genuinely wants them well. He weeps over broken lives, not as a formality, but because he carries the burden of those he ministers to. His healing ministry is not defined by headlines—it is defined by humility.
When he steps on a crusade platform and stretches out his hand, it is not to demonstrate might. It is to point to Jesus. He never takes the credit. He always gives the glory to God. Healing, in his ministry, always leads people to Christ, never to himself.
Faith Working Through Love
Galatians 5:6 says that faith works by love. This is the heartbeat of Bishop Dag’s healing ministry. His faith is strong, but it is powered by love. He believes God for miracles because he knows how much God loves His people. And he releases that same love in every prayer he prays.
Whether someone is dealing with terminal illness or a lifelong affliction, he approaches each case with hope. Not hype, but hope. Hope that is anchored in the Word of God and fueled by a heart that cares deeply.
This compassion is not just for the moment. It continues long after the crusade is over. He encourages pastors in those regions to follow up with the healed, to disciple them, and to guide them in their walk with God. Healing is not the end goal. Wholeness is.
A Channel of Mercy
In a world that often treats people as statistics, Bishop Dag continues to minister like Jesus—one person at a time, one soul at a time. His healing ministry may take place on large platforms, but it always carries a personal touch. It is the touch of mercy, the voice of grace, and the hand of a shepherd.
And as he continues to preach, pray, and minister healing, thousands are not only being made whole—they are discovering the compassion of Christ through the life of a servant who reflects His heart.
