Church Growth

What is the main task of a pastor? Is it to perform funerals and to officiate weddings? Certainly not! These are certainly duties of a minister but they are not main duties. If your ministry has deteriorated to the point where your main functions are to conduct marriages and bury people, then you need to read your Bible again! The main duty of a minister is to fulfil the Great Commission.

Dag Heward-Mills is known for his Healing Jesus Crusades throughout the continent of Africa with thousands in attendance and many accompanying miracles. The son of a lawyer, Dag gave his life to the Lord while a teenager. In the course of his seven-year training at Medical School, he became a pastor in Accra, Ghana and started what is now a fast-growing denomination: Lighthouse Chapel International, which has over 1,000 branches and is on every continent. It was in 1988 in Suhum, a small town in Ghana, that God placed upon him the anointing to teach. He began holding meetings in a classroom on campus that accommodated just a handful of people. As attendance steadily increased, larger and larger halls had to be used, until finally, in 2006, he commissioned the construction of one of the largest church complexes in Africa! A prolific author of several best-selling books, his radio, TV and internet programmes reach millions around the world. Other outreaches include pastors and ministers conferences and the renowned Anagkazo Bible and Ministry Training Centre.
