The Evangelist’s Footsteps: A Journey Across Nations with Dag Heward-Mills

When Jesus said, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,” He wasn’t just giving a suggestion—He was giving a divine instruction. In today’s world, that command still echoes in the hearts of those who dare to obey it fully. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills is one such man. His life is a living map of obedience to that call, with footprints in more than 90 countries across Africa, the Caribbean, and beyond.

To follow the evangelist’s journey is to follow the sound of the Gospel—raw, undiluted, and powerful. Bishop Dag has made it his mission not to wait for people to come to church, but to bring the church to the people. Whether it’s a dusty village road in Togo or a busy field in Malawi, the message is the same: Jesus saves.

This isn’t just an occasional outreach or an annual event. Evangelism, for him, is full-time. The Healing Jesus Campaign, which he launched in the early 2000s, has grown into one of the largest mobile evangelistic outreaches in the world. With trucks loaded with equipment, a convoy of workers, and a sea of prayers behind them, the team moves from region to region, country to country, proclaiming the Gospel with clarity and power.

At the center of every crusade is one goal—souls. Bishop Dag is not interested in building a fan base or becoming a celebrity preacher. His joy comes when hands go up during the altar call. When people throw away their charms. When families are restored. When hearts turn to Christ.

The evangelist’s journey is not glamorous. It is filled with long nights, spiritual warfare, logistical challenges, and emotional strain. But Bishop Dag walks this path with determination and joy. He has encountered opposition, yet he presses on. He has faced fatigue, but he still goes. Because deep in his spirit, he knows: the Gospel must be preached.

It’s not just about preaching—it’s about presence. Bishop Dag believes in going to where the people are. He has preached in open fields, under trees, in remote areas where no microphone had ever amplified the name of Jesus before. These are not tourist stops. These are mission fields, and he goes there because he knows Jesus would.

And wherever he goes, the power of God follows. People are healed—physically and spiritually. Demons flee. Lives are transformed. But the miracles are never the focus. The cross remains central. The message is not prosperity or self-help. It is repentance, salvation, and the love of a Savior who died for sinners.

What’s even more powerful is that Bishop Dag doesn’t walk this journey alone. He has raised up an army of missionaries, pastors, and lay workers who share the same fire. He is committed not just to preaching but to multiplying. His ministry equips others to go where he cannot. And in doing so, his footsteps multiply across nations through the lives of many others.

Each crusade is followed by local follow-up. Churches are planted. Disciples are made. The work doesn’t end with the last sermon—it continues in the lives of those who remain behind to shepherd the new believers.

The journey of this evangelist is a reminder to the Church today: the world still needs the Gospel. And we must still go. Dag Heward-Mills reminds us that the call is not outdated. It is more urgent than ever. As long as there are unreached souls, there must be footsteps—of evangelists, missionaries, and believers—carrying the message of Christ to every corner of the earth.
