One of the most powerful aspects of Bishop Dag Heward-Mills’ ministry is the unique way God uses camps to change lives. These are not just retreats or extended services—they are sacred moments set apart for deep spiritual transformation. Over the years, Bishop Dag has created a culture of camps that has shaped thousands of pastors, leaders, and believers into stronger, more focused, and more anointed servants of God.
In the camp atmosphere, distractions fall away. Time is suspended. And God is given space to work deeply. Bishop Dag does not rush these meetings. He teaches, he pours out, and he takes people on a journey in the Word that touches the spirit, convicts the heart, and ignites fresh passion.
The effect of these camps is undeniable. People enter burdened and come out free. They enter cold and come out on fire. They enter confused and come out with clarity. It is in these sacred gatherings that destinies are shaped and callings are revived.
Teaching That Cuts Deep
What makes the camps so powerful is the depth of teaching. Bishop Dag does not skim the surface—he goes deep. He spends hours unpacking the Word, line by line, principle by principle. His teachings during camps are like a master builder laying down foundation after foundation, ensuring that nothing is weak, broken, or missing.
There’s a grace upon him during camps that’s different. It’s focused. It’s intense. It’s prophetic. He does not only speak to minds—he speaks to spirits. Many testify that a single camp has done more in their lives than years of ordinary church attendance. It’s not just the content—it’s the anointing behind it.
And when the Word is received in that kind of environment, it sticks. It grows. It produces. People return to their churches and ministries not just inspired, but equipped with fresh vision, stronger conviction, and renewed love for God.
Creating an Environment for Spiritual Encounters
The power of the camps also lies in the atmosphere. It is an environment soaked in prayer, worship, and reverence for God’s presence. Distractions are set aside. Time is given fully to the Lord. There is space to linger, space to cry, space to surrender.
Bishop Dag is intentional about creating this environment. He leads worship himself. He prays deeply. He allows time for the Holy Spirit to move. These camps are not rushed, and because of that, people encounter God in a real, tangible way.
It is not uncommon to see people weeping under conviction, or receiving prophetic direction, or being healed emotionally as the Word of God ministers to the deep places of their hearts. These moments cannot be manufactured. They are the fruit of a spiritual environment set by a shepherd who values the presence of God more than performance.
A Lasting Impact That Goes Home With You
The true impact of Bishop Dag’s camps is not just what happens during the meeting—it’s what follows. People leave with more than notes. They leave with a new mindset. A deeper walk. A fresh burden for souls. A stronger love for Jesus.
Many pastors have gone back after a camp and rebuilt their churches. Many leaders have found the strength to continue. Many young people have stepped into full-time ministry because of something that was said in a camp. These are not emotional reactions—they are the fruit of deep conviction and clear teaching.
Through these life-changing gatherings, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills has built a legacy that cannot be measured in numbers alone. He has built people. He has built faith. And he has built the kind of spiritual stamina that sustains believers for the long haul.
