There is a special grace required to send people out into the work of the ministry. It is not just administrative—it is deeply spiritual. True apostolic leadership does not only gather; it sends. It equips, releases, and covers. Dag Heward-Mills carries this apostolic sending grace with clarity and authority. He has not only built churches—he has built people. And then, with faith and love, he has sent them into the nations.
Many leaders hesitate to send their best. But Bishop Dag has always been willing to release. He believes that the work must go beyond himself. His vision is not to centralize ministry around one location, but to decentralize it for maximum impact. He has sent his closest sons to plant churches, oversee missions, and raise leaders in unfamiliar lands. That is the spirit of true apostolic leadership—multiplying by releasing.
This is not done recklessly. It is done prayerfully. He spends time preparing leaders before sending them. He teaches them the Word, develops their character, and disciplines their lifestyle. Then he anoints them, sends them, and remains connected to guide them. His oversight does not control, but it covers. It supports. It protects.
Fathers Who Send and Sons Who Build
The relationship between Bishop Dag and those he sends is built on trust and honor. He is not just a leader—he is a father. He doesn’t send strangers. He sends sons. Men and women who have caught his spirit, shared in his burdens, and grown under his covering. These sons are not clones—they are carriers of the same DNA. They preach the gospel with the same conviction. They plant churches with the same structure. They shepherd with the same compassion.
His model of sending has created a ripple effect. Churches planted by his sons are now sending others. Leaders raised under his care are now raising their own disciples. This is not just addition—it is multiplication. And it is happening because one man chose to think beyond himself.
The apostolic grace on Dag Heward-Mills has taught the Church how to send again. How to build leaders, not just followers. How to release people into their calling without fear or control. How to plant with wisdom, not ambition. And how to remain spiritually connected across nations.
He continues to teach that sending is not just a strategy—it is a sacrifice. It means letting go. It means praying more and trusting God. It means covering those who may face battles far from home. But the fruit is undeniable. Souls are being saved. Churches are growing. Nations are being reached. And all of it began with a leader who was willing to send.
Dag Heward-Mills is not only an apostle in title—he is an apostle in function. He has laid foundations, raised sons, and built churches that will stand for generations. His model is not outdated—it is biblical. And through it, the Kingdom of God continues to expand.
