From the earliest days of his ministry, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills made a decision that has shaped everything else: evangelism would never become an option. It would be the center. The reason. The heartbeat. While many ministries begin with soul-winning and slowly drift toward other priorities, he has kept the main thing the main thing. Evangelism is not a phase. It is the foundation.
Whether he is training pastors, preaching in conferences, writing books, or holding crusades, the central theme remains the same—souls. His sermons return again and again to the message of salvation. His teaching materials call leaders back to their first love. And his schedule is filled not just with meetings, but with movement—toward those who are still outside the Kingdom.
He teaches that the Church must not entertain itself into forgetfulness. We were not saved to sit. We were saved to go. And every true revival must be followed by a fresh commitment to evangelism.
Making Evangelism Practical and Personal
One of the reasons Bishop Dag has succeeded in keeping evangelism central is because he has made it practical. He doesn’t just preach about soul-winning—he structures it. He trains teams. He assigns outreaches. He organizes crusades. Evangelism in his ministry is not a side program—it is woven into everything.
He teaches pastors that a church that stops reaching out will begin to dry up from within. Evangelism is the lifeline of the church. It is how love grows, how power flows, and how the presence of God remains strong among the people.
But it’s not just about big programs. Bishop Dag constantly emphasizes personal evangelism. Every believer is a preacher. Every member is a soul winner. He reminds his churches that reaching one person is as valuable as preaching to a stadium.
Evangelism must be personal. It must be lived, not just led. And through his own example, he teaches that reaching souls is not the work of the gifted—it is the work of the obedient.
Training the Church to Carry the Burden
Bishop Dag has built a ministry where evangelism is not dependent on one man. It is carried by many. He has reproduced his passion into his pastors, missionaries, and members. And he continues to train new leaders with the same fire.
He believes that every generation must be taught to evangelize. It cannot be assumed. It must be imparted. That’s why his books, such as The Art of Soul Winning and Tell Them, continue to awaken a fresh burden in the hearts of readers.
He does not leave the work of evangelism to evangelists. He mobilizes the whole church. He equips them with tools, trains them with principles, and sends them with boldness. Because the harvest is great, and the laborers must be many.
A Ministry That Points Outward, Not Inward
What makes Bishop Dag’s ministry distinct is its outward focus. While many build inward—on programs, branding, and comfort—he continues to look outward. Toward the lost. Toward the fields. Toward the next soul.
He teaches that when a church turns inward, it begins to decline. But when it turns outward, it lives. Evangelism keeps the church healthy. It keeps the fire burning. It keeps the people close to the heart of God.
Through his life, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills has shown that evangelism is not just an event or a passion—it is a position. It is the center. And when the Church returns to that center, revival always follows.
