When Jesus sent out the seventy disciples, He was showing us something deeper than just a ministry method. He was revealing the divine strategy to reach the world—sending. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills has embraced this blueprint fully. He understands that the gospel only travels when people are sent. That’s why his ministry is marked by movement. He doesn’t just gather people, he sends them.
From the early years of his ministry, Bishop Dag taught that staying in one place may grow a crowd, but it will never fulfill the Great Commission. His passion has always been to plant churches—not only in major cities, but in every city, every town, and every village. No place is too small. No region is too forgotten. Every soul matters, and every city deserves a witness.
He has raised and released thousands of missionaries and pastors into cities across Africa, Europe, Asia, and beyond. These are not merely relocations—they are spiritual assignments. Each one is a response to the heartbeat of God for the nations.
Going Where the Need Is Greatest
Bishop Dag does not just send to popular destinations. He sends to difficult places. To cities where churches are few. To places where the gospel has been silenced. He looks at a map differently. He doesn’t ask where it’s easy—he asks where it’s needed.
He teaches that the gospel is not meant to be concentrated in one place. It is meant to spread. It is meant to reach every city until the whole earth is filled with the knowledge of the Lord. And that happens when people are willing to go.
His pastors go to cities with no buildings, no equipment, and often no members. But they go with faith. They go with the Word. And they go with a calling. Because they have been sent—not by the will of man, but by the Spirit of God working through their leader.
Releasing Sons With Purpose
What makes Bishop Dag’s sending ministry so effective is that he sends sons, not strangers. He raises leaders in the house, pours into them, and then releases them with purpose. They don’t go as orphans. They go as representatives of the vision, the teaching, and the anointing they’ve received.
Each one is trained to carry the same heart—to win the lost, to love the people, to build from nothing, and to multiply the church in their city. And because they have been properly trained and faithfully sent, they last. They don’t just start churches—they establish them.
There is an apostolic order in the way Bishop Dag sends. It is not chaotic. It is strategic. Each city is prayed over. Each mission is backed by spiritual covering. And each church that is planted strengthens the next one. It is a divine network of kingdom builders, each one doing their part.
Every City Matters
Bishop Dag continues to live with a deep conviction that every city matters to God. Not just the large ones. Not just the prosperous ones. But every city where there are souls who need Jesus. He often says that if one person lives there, the gospel must reach there.
Through his life and ministry, the Church is being reminded of what it means to go. What it means to send. What it means to lay down your life for a city you’ve never been to—all for the sake of the gospel.
And because of that sending grace, cities around the world are hearing the name of Jesus. Churches are rising. Disciples are being trained. And the light is spreading.
