The Great Commission, as given by Jesus in Matthew 28:19-20, is a mandate for believers to take the Gospel to every nation. While many pastors and preachers focus on ministering within their own countries, Dag Heward-Mills has made it his life’s mission to take the Gospel beyond borders, reaching millions in different nations across the world.
Through his Healing Jesus Campaign, church-planting efforts, leadership training, and discipleship programs, he has successfully established a global evangelistic movement that continues to transform lives in Africa, Europe, Asia, the Americas, and beyond. His impact demonstrates that when a person obeys the call of God, they can bring revival to nations and establish the Kingdom of God in places where Christ has not been preached.
The Vision to Preach Beyond Borders
Dag Heward-Mills did not limit his ministry to a single location. He recognized that the Gospel is meant for all people, regardless of race, culture, or nationality. His commitment to international evangelism stems from his understanding of Jesus’ words in Mark 16:15, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature.”
Unlike some ministers who are satisfied with growing a single large congregation, he has focused on multiplying churches and planting new congregations in various countries. This vision has led to one of the largest church networks in modern Christianity, covering over 90 nations with thousands of churches under the United Denominations Originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches (UD-OLGC).
The Healing Jesus Campaign: Reaching the Nations Through Mass Evangelism
One of the most effective ways Dag Heward-Mills has taken the Gospel to the nations is through the Healing Jesus Campaign. This is a large-scale evangelistic movement that organizes mass crusades across cities, towns, and villages, drawing thousands of people who are hungry for the Word of God.
Each crusade features dynamic preaching, healing miracles, and mass conversions, with many people giving their lives to Christ after hearing the simple yet powerful message of salvation. The campaign has led to millions of souls being saved, thousands of churches being planted, and countless testimonies of healing and deliverance.
Planting Churches in Foreign Lands
Beyond crusades, Dag Heward-Mills ensures that the work of evangelism does not stop with salvation but continues with discipleship and church planting. His ministry has a structured system for establishing churches wherever crusades take place, ensuring that new believers have a place to grow spiritually.
His church-planting efforts have resulted in thriving congregations in countries across Africa, Europe, North and South America, and Asia. The model he follows is simple yet effective:
- Evangelize the lost through crusades and outreach programs.
- Establish churches where new converts can be discipled.
- Train leaders from within these churches to ensure sustainable growth.
This model ensures that Christianity does not just remain a temporary movement but continues as a long-term, life-changing force in every nation he reaches.
Raising a New Generation of Global Evangelists
One of Dag Heward-Mills’ greatest strengths is his ability to train and mentor other evangelists and pastors. He understands that one man alone cannot reach the entire world, so he has committed himself to raising and equipping the next generation of preachers and missionaries.
Through his books, leadership conferences, and the Anagkazo Bible and Ministry Training Center, he has provided thousands of men and women with the tools they need to take the Gospel to the nations. Many of his disciples have gone on to plant churches, organize crusades, and expand the work of evangelism into new territories where the Gospel has never been preached.
Conclusion
Dag Heward-Mills is a living example of what it means to obey the call of God and take the Gospel to the nations. Through his evangelistic crusades, church-planting efforts, and mentorship programs, he has ensured that the message of Christ reaches the lost in every corner of the world. His impact continues to grow, proving that when a believer fully dedicates their life to evangelism, the Gospel will spread far and wide, transforming lives across generations.
