The Great Commission is the final instruction Jesus gave to His disciples before ascending to heaven. In Matthew 28:19-20, He commanded, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” While many churches have shifted their focus away from evangelism, Dag Heward-Mills has remained steadfast in fulfilling this divine mandate.
Through his evangelistic crusades, church planting, discipleship programs, and leadership training, he has impacted millions of lives across multiple continents. His unwavering dedication to spreading the Gospel makes him one of the most influential Christian leaders actively fulfilling the Great Commission today.
Taking the Gospel to All Nations
The Great Commission requires that the Gospel be taken to every nation and people group. Dag Heward-Mills has ensured that his ministry does not remain confined to one country or region. His mission work has reached Africa, Europe, Asia, North America, South America, and beyond, making sure that people from all backgrounds have access to the life-saving message of Christ.
Unlike many preachers who remain focused on their home country, he has intentionally expanded his outreach beyond Ghana, establishing churches in over 90 nations. His vision is to ensure that no part of the world is left untouched by the Gospel.
The Healing Jesus Campaign: A Global Evangelistic Movement
One of the most powerful ways Dag Heward-Mills has fulfilled the Great Commission is through his Healing Jesus Campaign. This evangelistic movement is dedicated to mass crusades, where thousands of people hear the Gospel, receive salvation, and experience the healing power of Jesus Christ.
The campaign follows the biblical pattern of Jesus’ ministry—preaching, healing, and delivering those in bondage. Just as Christ performed miracles to confirm His message, these crusades are accompanied by supernatural signs and wonders, drawing even more people to faith in Christ.
Discipleship: Teaching All Nations to Observe the Word of God
The Great Commission does not end with preaching; it also includes teaching and discipling new believers. Dag Heward-Mills ensures that after people give their lives to Christ, they are nurtured in the faith and taught biblical principles.
To accomplish this, he has developed:
- Bible schools and leadership training programs to equip pastors and church workers.
- Christian literature and books to provide deep spiritual insights for believers.
- Church planting initiatives to establish places of worship where discipleship can take place.
His book “The Mega Church” serves as a guide for pastors on how to build strong congregations that emphasize discipleship. His teachings ensure that converts do not just remain churchgoers but become strong, committed disciples of Christ.
Raising Leaders to Spread the Gospel Further
A critical part of fulfilling the Great Commission is raising leaders who will continue the work of evangelism and discipleship. Dag Heward-Mills understands that he cannot reach the whole world alone, so he has dedicated himself to training thousands of pastors, missionaries, and evangelists.
Through the Anagkazo Bible and Ministry Training Center, he has mentored countless young men and women, equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and spiritual discipline needed to take the Gospel to new territories. Many of his trainees have gone on to plant churches, lead evangelistic crusades, and disciple believers in different parts of the world.
Conclusion
Dag Heward-Mills is a modern-day example of someone fulfilling the Great Commission. His commitment to preaching, teaching, discipling, and raising leaders ensures that millions are reached with the Gospel. His ministry is a powerful reminder that the command of Jesus is still relevant today and that every believer has a role to play in spreading the message of salvation.
