When God puts His hand on a man for apostolic work, movement becomes a mark of that calling. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills is an apostle in motion—never stagnant, never settled, and never satisfied with the Gospel being limited to one region. From the early days of preaching in lecture halls and classrooms to planting churches on distant shores, his ministry has always had legs. It moves, it spreads, and it multiplies.
The apostolic grace on his life is seen clearly through church planting. This isn’t a trend he followed. It’s a burden he carries. A holy restlessness that compels him to go where others haven’t gone, to send where others haven’t sent, and to plant churches that will shine as beacons of light in cities, towns, and villages across the world.
Bishop Dag doesn’t just talk about the Great Commission—he lives it. His footsteps have echoed on crusade fields, in rural towns, and on university campuses, all in pursuit of one thing: souls.
Planting with Purpose
The churches planted under Bishop Dag’s leadership are not random. They are not experiments. They are born in prayer and planted with purpose. Every location—whether in the heart of a capital city or the corner of a countryside village—is chosen with eternity in mind. He believes that churches are God’s answer to the lost, the broken, and the unreached. And so, he sends pastors, missionaries, and lay workers—not to maintain comfort, but to confront darkness with light.
Each new church becomes a gate of heaven. A place of salvation. A spiritual home. And behind every church, there’s a story of faith, sacrifice, and obedience. Some were started with nothing more than a few chairs and a sound system. Others were planted in hostile territory. But all of them carry the same DNA—discipleship, loyalty, worship, and the preaching of the uncompromised Word.
This is not about building an empire. It’s about building the Kingdom.
Apostolic Footprints on Every Continent
Today, Bishop Dag’s apostolic footprints can be traced across multiple continents. Africa, Europe, Asia, North America, South America, the Caribbean, and beyond. Through the United Denominations Originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches (UD-OLGC), churches have been planted in more than 90 countries. And it hasn’t been by chance—it’s been by divine strategy.
What sets this work apart is not just the number of churches, but the heart behind them. These are not satellite locations trying to mirror a brand. They are living, breathing churches—full of prayer, full of worship, and full of people being saved and discipled. They have pastors who were trained, sent, and fathered by Bishop Dag’s ministry. That apostolic covering makes a difference. It creates order, direction, and longevity.
The movement may be global, but the touch remains personal.
The Mandate Continues
What God has done through Bishop Dag in church planting is remarkable—but he would be the first to say, “It’s not finished.” The vision continues. The burden remains. There are still more places to reach, more churches to plant, and more laborers to raise.
In his books and teachings, he consistently stirs the hearts of young men and women toward missions. He preaches about the call. He teaches about the cost. And he sends them out with faith and fire. That’s the mark of an apostle—not just going, but sending.
Dag Heward-Mills is indeed an apostle in motion. And as long as he has breath, the planting will continue.
