One of the most striking qualities about Bishop Dag Heward-Mills is that his eyes are always scanning the horizon. While many are content to build where the ground is already ploughed, he looks for where the seed has never been sown. His heart is not just for the found, but for the forgotten. For those beyond the reach of the local church. For the souls who have never once heard the name of Jesus.
There is a holy burden in him—one that keeps him travelling, preaching, sending, and going again. His crusade fields are often in places with no megachurches, no internet fame, no applause. Yet that is exactly where he longs to go. Because that is where the unreached live.
He teaches that the gospel must go where it has not gone. That the Church cannot just circle around itself and forget that millions are dying without ever hearing the truth. That to be evangelists in this generation, we must feel what God feels—and God still feels pain for every soul that dies unreached.
Reaching the Ends of the Earth
Through the Healing Jesus Campaign, Bishop Dag has carried the gospel into deserts, villages, remote towns, and war-torn cities. Often in harsh conditions. Often with resistance. But always with love. He does not wait for the world to become easy before he moves. He moves because the urgency is too great to sit still.
He teaches that the great commission is not a slogan. It is a command. Jesus said “Go,” and he has built his ministry around that word. He has gone to places many avoid. And he sends his sons and pastors to do the same. Because there are people at the ends of the earth who are still waiting.
The unreached are not statistics to him. They are faces. Lives. Futures. He preaches with the awareness that someone’s eternity is hanging in the balance. And that one sermon, one trip, one invitation, could change everything.
The Pain of Knowing There’s More to Do
Even with all the fruit God has given him, Bishop Dag carries a burden that never quite lifts. It is the burden of knowing that there is still more to do. More souls to reach. More towns to enter. More unreached people groups to touch.
This burden keeps him praying. It keeps him going. It keeps him from becoming comfortable. He teaches that comfort is the enemy of the gospel. That when the Church becomes satisfied, the harvest begins to rot in the fields. But when the Church is burdened, it moves. It weeps. It goes.
He has never let his ministry become a monument. It is a movement—one that is always looking for the next soul to rescue, the next town to visit, the next heart to reach.
A Life That Cries, “Come to Jesus”
At the core of Bishop Dag Heward-Mills’ evangelistic ministry is a simple cry: “Come to Jesus.” He does not preach himself. He does not promote personality. He points to the cross. And he urges everyone, everywhere, to come.
That invitation rings out through speakers in village fields, through microphones in city crusades, and through his voice as he weeps for the lost. “Come to Jesus.” That is the cry of a true evangelist. That is the cry of a heart that burns for the unreached.
Through his life, Bishop Dag is calling the Church to look again. To feel again. To go again. Because the harvest is still great, the laborers are still few, and the time is now.
