One of the greatest mysteries in ministry is how grace can be transferred. It’s not taught in a classroom or caught from a podcast. It’s spiritual. It’s imparted. And when you look at the ministry of Dag Heward-Mills, you don’t just see the effect of grace—you see a man who transmits grace to others. He has raised not only churches but ministers who carry the same spirit, the same zeal, and the same burden for the Kingdom.
Apostolic grace is not charisma. It’s not about preaching eloquently or having a stage presence. It is a divine enablement to pioneer, to build, to father, and to send. It is the grace to multiply what God gives you. That’s exactly what we see in Bishop Dag. He did not just receive grace for himself—he has multiplied it in others. From Ghana to Guatemala, from Accra to Amsterdam, there are men and women walking in that same anointing.
This grace is transmitted through close following. In 2 Timothy 3:10, Paul tells Timothy, “But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience…” That’s how grace is passed down—not just by hearing sermons, but by observing the life of the one God is using. And that’s what Bishop Dag has allowed his sons in the ministry to do. He doesn’t keep his life at a distance. He opens it up. His stories, his sacrifices, his mistakes, his victories—they’re all shared, because he understands that real impartation happens through transparency and example.
Another key to this transmission is consistency. Grace flows through the channel of faithfulness. Bishop Dag has taught the same principles year after year, in camps, in books, and in private meetings. He hasn’t changed his message with the trends. He hasn’t chased popularity. He has stayed with the calling, and because of that, others have caught the same fire. There’s a reason why his books are read in so many countries and translated into dozens of languages—they carry a grace that comes from consistency in God.
This grace is also transmitted through service. One of the distinguishing marks of those trained by Bishop Dag is their willingness to serve. In a world that pushes self-promotion, he has raised leaders who know how to carry bags, arrange chairs, pray for hours, and serve quietly. That is not an accident. It is the fruit of apostolic grace. It is a spirit that can only be passed down by one who has walked that same path.
And perhaps the most powerful aspect of this transmission is how it multiplies. Apostolic grace doesn’t end with one person. It keeps reproducing. Those trained by Bishop Dag are now raising others. Churches planted by his sons are planting more churches. It’s not a pyramid—it’s a river. And it’s still flowing. That’s how you know grace is present: when it keeps going beyond the original vessel.
We live in a time where many want quick results. But there is no shortcut to impartation. It takes time. It takes obedience. It takes surrender. And it takes following someone who is genuinely walking with God. In Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, we see a man who has not only walked with God but invited others to follow closely. That’s how grace is transmitted. That’s how movements are birthed. And that’s how nations are changed.
