The impact of a pastor is not just in how he preaches, but in who he raises. Dag Heward-Mills has discipled thousands of pastors—not only to preach sermons but to live lives that reflect Christ. He doesn’t raise performers; he raises shepherds. His discipleship of pastors is one of the strongest pillars of his global ministry, and it’s the reason why the work continues to spread and bear fruit in cities and nations far beyond where he has personally gone.
Discipleship in Bishop Dag’s ministry is not casual—it is intense. It’s not just about giving people opportunities. It’s about shaping their mindset, their habits, their theology, and their values. He trains pastors to love the work of the ministry, to endure hardship, to walk in holiness, and to stay faithful to their call. His camps are legendary for how deep they go—challenging leaders to examine their hearts, renew their commitments, and return to their churches with fresh fire.
Discipleship That Produces Depth and Stability
One of the key reasons the churches under Bishop Dag’s leadership are strong is because the pastors are not left to figure things out on their own. They are fathered. They are followed up. They are guided and corrected when needed. That level of discipleship is rare in many places, but it is standard in this ministry.
Pastors are taught to pray for their sheep, to visit them, to teach the Word line upon line, and to raise others who will do the same. They are not trained to chase fame—they are trained to be faithful. They are equipped with practical tools, powerful teaching, and spiritual discipline that will sustain them in ministry over the long haul.
Discipleship, as Bishop Dag teaches it, is not just a season—it’s a relationship. He walks with his pastors for years. Some of them have been by his side for decades, growing from young men into seasoned leaders, carrying his teachings and his spirit into nations and communities that are now being transformed through their ministry.
This is how global impact is made. Not through media campaigns or moments of inspiration, but through discipleship. One life poured into another. One shepherd raising more shepherds. One father reproducing sons who will carry the burden of the work and the joy of the harvest.
Bishop Dag’s model is simple but powerful: teach pastors to love God, love people, and serve with all their hearts—and then watch them change the world. It’s not glamorous. It’s not trendy. But it is deeply biblical. And it’s working.
