Some of the most defining moments in the ministry of Bishop Dag Heward-Mills have happened during camp meetings. These are not just conferences or events—they are spiritual encounters. Times of focused teaching, prayer, worship, and deep spiritual transformation. Bishop Dag has used camp meetings as a key part of building leaders, igniting fire, and releasing divine direction.
Camp meetings are sacred spaces. They are set apart from the rush of daily life. In these moments of separation, believers are able to hear God clearly, receive impartation, and have their vision renewed. Bishop Dag does not treat them lightly. He prepares prayerfully and teaches extensively. He pours out wisdom, correction, and revelation. And the people leave changed.
He often spends hours teaching at a stretch—line upon line, precept upon precept. No fluff. No entertainment. Just raw, weighty truth that challenges, equips, and revives. The atmosphere is saturated with the Word and the Spirit. People are delivered. Callings are confirmed. Ministries are born. Camp meetings have become life-altering seasons for many who now serve as pastors, missionaries, and leaders across the world.
Building Leaders Through Atmosphere
Bishop Dag has always taught that atmosphere matters. What cannot be achieved in a regular Sunday service is often unlocked in the extended flow of a camp meeting. There is room for lingering, for tears, for silence, for worship, and for the slow work of the Holy Spirit. And that is where true transformation takes place—not in haste, but in holy moments that mark hearts forever.
He uses these times to train his leaders in areas that go beyond the basics. Subjects like loyalty, sacrifice, spiritual fathering, authority, and fruitfulness are dealt with in depth. He addresses real issues, warns against spiritual dangers, and stretches his listeners to grow. It is intense—but it is life-giving.
His camps are not focused on convenience. They often go late into the night. The teaching is rigorous. The atmosphere is spiritual. And the effect is lasting. Leaders emerge from these camps ready to build, ready to serve, and ready to suffer for Christ if necessary.
Through these gatherings, Bishop Dag has preserved the spirit of the movement. He has kept the flame burning. He has re-aligned drifting hearts. And he has poured out himself like a father training his sons before they go to war.
Dag Heward-Mills continues to use camp meetings as a powerful tool of impartation. In a generation distracted by quick solutions and shallow answers, he invites the Church to go deeper. To gather, to listen, to fast, to worship, and to receive—not just from man, but from God. And through these sacred assemblies, the Church is strengthened again and again.
