There is something powerful about a man who does not only preach to crowds but takes the time to walk with leaders—guiding, correcting, encouraging, and preparing them for lasting ministry. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills has become a mentor to ministers from the nations, not just because of the scale of his ministry, but because of the strength of his example and the depth of his wisdom.
His mentorship is not about creating clones. It is about raising authentic, disciplined, Spirit-filled leaders who know how to serve God with integrity. From Africa to Asia, Europe to the Caribbean, young pastors and seasoned bishops alike have found in Bishop Dag a spiritual father—someone whose life speaks louder than his words.
In a time when many are building brands, he is building people. And that has created a ripple effect across the globe.
A Lifestyle Worth Following
What draws leaders to Bishop Dag is not just his preaching—it is his life. He lives what he teaches. His consistency, prayer life, faithfulness to his wife, humility in leadership, and tireless work ethic have made him a model that others desire to learn from. His ministry is not a performance. It is a poured-out life.
Many who have sat under his teaching at camps or in private settings testify that even one encounter can shift the course of a ministry. He mentors not only with information but with impartation. The things he has built have taken years, sacrifice, and hidden obedience—and he is generous in sharing the behind-the-scenes realities of ministry with those who are willing to learn.
That kind of mentorship cannot be manufactured. It is a grace, and it is a calling.
Training by Example and Exposure
Bishop Dag’s mentorship goes beyond formal settings. He opens up his world to those he is raising. Young pastors travel with him, observe how he leads, see how he prays, and listen to how he counsels. They are trained not just by teaching but by exposure. They are given a front-row seat to the inner life of a shepherd.
He shares his personal struggles, his early mistakes, and the lessons learned in the fire. He teaches young ministers to stand when it’s hard, to remain loyal when others walk away, and to stay focused when distractions come. It is this transparent, real mentorship that transforms young servants into strong leaders.
And those leaders don’t just carry his words—they carry his spirit.
A Global Impact One Leader at a Time
Through books, camps, conferences, and personal relationships, Bishop Dag’s mentorship has now touched thousands of ministers. Some lead small churches in rural towns. Others lead congregations in major cities. Some are missionaries in unreached territories. Others are bishops in large denominations. But they all carry the imprint of a man who took the time to teach, train, and trust them.
That is the power of mentorship—it multiplies ministry without losing the message. And Bishop Dag continues to give himself to this calling. One leader at a time. One lesson at a time. One impartation at a time.
The world will feel the impact of his mentorship for generations.
