In the eyes of Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, ministry is not about celebrity or status—it is about stewardship. He teaches that every pastor, leader, and church worker is a steward of what belongs to God. The souls, the resources, the time, and the message—it is all His, and we are simply caretakers.
This understanding changes everything. It shifts the focus from ambition to responsibility. From competition to faithfulness. He often reminds his pastors that they will give an account. Not for how famous they became, but for how faithful they were with what was entrusted to them.
He teaches that stewardship is not glamorous. It is quiet, consistent, and deeply spiritual. It is being faithful when no one is watching. It is serving when the crowd is small. It is continuing the work even when applause fades.
Training With Accountability
Bishop Dag does not just train leaders—he teaches them to be accountable. He builds systems of structure and reporting, not to control, but to ensure that stewardship is taken seriously. He teaches that if you cannot be trusted with little, you will never be trusted with much.
Every pastor under his leadership learns how to manage church finances with integrity, how to report honestly, how to care for members personally, and how to multiply what they’ve been given. These are not optional lessons—they are essential for long-term ministry.
He teaches that stewardship is measured in fruit. What have you done with what was placed in your hands? Have you guarded it, grown it, and given it your best? Or have you buried it under excuses and neglect?
Modeling Stewardship in His Own Life
Bishop Dag is not just a teacher of stewardship—he is a living example of it. He has handled the call of God on his life with sobriety and deep reverence. He has written books, raised leaders, planted churches, and built systems, not for personal gain, but because he sees it all as a trust.
He is careful with money, faithful in teaching, and consistent in labor. He does not waste opportunities. He does not take the work of God lightly. And those who follow him quickly realize that stewardship is not a part of his ministry—it is the very foundation of it.
His life teaches that when you handle what God gives you with care, God will give you more. And when you are found faithful, God will reward you openly.
A Generation of Stewards Arising
Because of Bishop Dag’s teaching and example, there is a generation of faithful stewards rising in the Church. These are men and women who serve with integrity, who lead with a clear conscience, and who build not for fame, but for fruit.
They understand that the ministry is not theirs. The people are not theirs. The glory is not theirs. They are stewards—trusted by God to work His vineyard with humility and diligence.
Through Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, the Church is being reminded that faithfulness still matters. That stewardship still pleases God. And that those who are trusted in secret will be honored in due season.
