The School of the Word: Raising Ministers for the End-Time Harvest
The end-time harvest is ripe. Souls are ready. But the Church needs workers—trained, equipped, and full of the Word. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills has taken this need seriously, raising up ministers not just with passion, but with doctrine. Through his Bible schools and ministry training centers, he has built what could truly be called a school of the Word—where men and women are shaped into shepherds, missionaries, and soul winners with depth and conviction.
This is not just academic education. It is spiritual formation. Students are taught to handle the Word of God with reverence and accuracy. They are immersed in Scripture, given spiritual disciplines, and trained in the practical outworking of ministry. They are taught how to preach, how to plant churches, how to pastor people, and how to live holy lives. The focus is not only on knowledge—it is on fruitfulness.
Bishop Dag’s vision has always been to raise laborers who can carry the Gospel to the unreached, and his training model reflects that. The school of the Word is a launchpad. It is where raw potential is refined. It is where the call of God is given structure and strength.
Built on the Word and Prayer
At the heart of this training is the Word of God. Every lesson, every book, and every module is grounded in Scripture. Students don’t just memorize verses—they learn how to apply them. They are taught how to rightly divide the Word, how to preach it, defend it, and most of all, live it.
Alongside the Word is a culture of prayer. Bishop Dag has modeled a life of consistent prayer, and his schools reflect that same spirit. Early morning prayer, fasting, worship, and spiritual exercises are all part of the daily rhythm. Students are not only taught what to do—they are shaped by the atmosphere around them.
This combination of Word and Spirit is what makes the school of the Word effective. It doesn’t just inform—it imparts. Students leave with something in them that cannot be learned from a textbook. They carry a burden, a flame, and a divine mandate to go.
Preparing for the Realities of Ministry
Ministry is beautiful, but it is also difficult. Many start the race with excitement, only to falter because they were not prepared for the cost. Bishop Dag’s training centers are honest about this. He doesn’t paint a glamorous picture. He teaches about sacrifice, betrayal, fatigue, and the spiritual warfare that comes with real ministry.
At the same time, he teaches about the joy of seeing souls saved, the fulfillment of obeying God, and the eternal reward that awaits faithful servants. Students are not just trained—they are toughened. They are given the tools to last, to grow, and to finish their race with joy.
By the time they are sent out, these ministers are not naïve. They are prepared. They are anointed. And they are ready to face the challenges of the end-time harvest with courage and wisdom.
A Vision for the Nations
The reach of Bishop Dag’s training extends beyond one city or one nation. His Bible school model has been replicated in several countries. His books have become training materials for churches and mission fields across continents. Through this school of the Word, the nations are being touched.
This is the heartbeat of his ministry—raising men and women who will go. Not everyone is called to a pulpit, but all are called to serve. And Bishop Dag has created an environment where every student can discover their place in God’s plan and be empowered to fulfill it.
The school of the Word is not a building—it is a movement. It is a response to Jesus’ command to make disciples of all nations. And through the faithful teaching and training ministry of Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, a generation is rising—ready for the harvest, rooted in the Word, and full of the Holy Spirit.
