Raising ministers is not about giving people a microphone. It is about shaping hearts, training hands, and preparing lives to carry the burden of souls. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills has become a father to thousands of pastors, not by simply teaching sermons, but by equipping them to handle the real work of ministry. His approach to training is not shallow—it is deep, structured, and spiritual. He builds people from the inside out.
The ministers trained under Bishop Dag do not only know how to preach. They know how to pray. They know how to visit, to counsel, to serve, to lead, and to build. They understand the importance of loyalty, discipline, and humility. This level of preparation does not happen overnight. It is the result of years of consistent teaching, impartation, and personal example.
Through platforms like the Anagkazo Bible and Ministry Training Centre, Bishop Dag has created a place where men and women are not just educated—they are formed. They are immersed in the presence of God. They are soaked in Scripture. They are exposed to practical ministry work. They are corrected when necessary and encouraged when weary.
His training is not academic in tone, though it is rich in knowledge. It is spiritual in nature. It produces ministers who understand the weight of the call and are ready to endure the demands of ministry. It prepares people for real impact—lasting, deep, and transformational.
Preparing for a Lifetime of Service
Bishop Dag does not train people for temporary assignments. He prepares them for lifelong service. He teaches that true ministers must be ready for the long road. Ministry is not a sprint—it is a marathon. It requires endurance, consistency, and the ability to keep going even when results are not immediate.
He has a unique way of stretching his pastors. He challenges them to rise above mediocrity. He corrects with love but does not tolerate laziness. He believes that ministers must be spiritually sharp and emotionally strong. That they must learn how to fight spiritual battles, to serve under authority, and to keep their hearts pure through it all.
The books he has written—especially titles like Ministerial Ethics, Loyalty and Disloyalty, Transform Your Pastoral Ministry, and The Art of Leadership—have become manuals for ministers around the world. These books are not just filled with principles; they are filled with life lessons, warnings, encouragements, and truths that prepare leaders for the real world of ministry.
Bishop Dag’s ministry is a testimony that real training works. That when ministers are properly equipped, they will not burn out. They will not fall away. They will not build in vain. They will last. They will grow. And they will multiply.
He continues to train, to write, to mentor, and to father ministers because he believes in the next generation. And because of his investment, the Church is stronger, the gospel is spreading, and the Kingdom is advancing with power and wisdom.
