Bishop Dag Heward-Mills does not wait for perfect conditions before planting a church. He doesn’t wait for guaranteed success, or for large crowds, or for financial security. He builds by faith. The churches he plants often begin with nothing but a prayer, a vision, and someone willing to go. And yet, time and again, those churches grow, flourish, and become spiritual havens in their communities.
His approach to church planting is bold but biblical. Like Abraham, he moves when God says go—even when the destination is unfamiliar. Like Paul, he preaches where Christ is not yet known—even when it means facing resistance. And like Jesus, he sends out workers two by two—empowered by the Spirit and armed with the Gospel.
This kind of building cannot be done by the flesh. It is faith from start to finish.
Seeing What Others Don’t
Where others see impossibility, Bishop Dag sees opportunity. He sees churches in old school buildings, in tents, under trees, and in rented halls. He sees potential pastors in students, market women, and professionals. He sees church members in places where no church has ever existed. His faith allows him to see the invisible and build the impossible.
This vision is not based on chance—it is grounded in prayer. He spends time seeking God, listening for direction, and fasting for clarity. And when he receives a green light in the spirit, he moves with courage, even if the natural circumstances say otherwise.
His faith is contagious. The people he leads begin to see through his eyes. They believe that with God, nothing is too hard, and no place is too far.
A Pattern That Repeats
The process Bishop Dag follows is not complicated, but it is consistent. Train a man. Send him out. Support him spiritually. And watch what God does. He does not believe in keeping people stagnant. He believes in deploying them into the harvest field.
Many of the churches planted under his ministry began with a handful of people and a lot of faith. But today, they are thriving, self-sustaining congregations that are planting churches of their own. This multiplication is possible because the process is repeatable, and the results are proven.
What began as a single step of faith in Accra has now become a global network of churches connected by the same Spirit and committed to the same Gospel.
The Foundation of Every Church
Though the structures vary and the locations differ, one thing is constant in every church Bishop Dag plants: the foundation is Christ. These churches are not built on trends or personalities. They are built on sound doctrine, passionate worship, fervent prayer, and a deep love for souls.
They are houses of healing, centers of teaching, and homes for the lonely. And at the heart of each one is a shepherd who has been trained, tested, and sent by Bishop Dag’s ministry.
This is how you build with faith—not just by starting, but by staying faithful to the vision God gave. And that is exactly what Bishop Dag has done. He has built with faith. He has built with joy. And he continues to build with eternity in mind.
