(4) Show me your ways, O God, teach me your paths. (5) Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are my salvation. For you, I wait all day long! (9) God guides the humble in justice and teaches the humble the Way. Psalm 25:4, 5, 9.
After 2 years of being robbed of that special kind of atmosphere, (by the unknown environs of that collective trauma of a Pandemic) of gathering together and sitting at the feet of one of the most anointed and gifted Teachers of our time, we finally got to experience it once again! There was no way we were going to miss this Conference for anything in the world! Having our Father, Apostle, Teacher, Prophet and Evangelist, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills minister to us for four days at the Give Thyself Wholly Conference 2021, dubbed ‘The Spirit Entered Into Me’, was just the energy booster and encouragement we needed to forge ahead! As early as 6am on Tuesday morning, people were already gathering from all walks of life to begin their registration process.
In the evening, as we were preparing our hearts to be guided by scripture, inspired by worship, and enjoying being together with the brethren, our Father, Bishop Dag walked in, oozing with aura and so much anointing to impart to his children. How is your Ministry? What are you experiencing as Leaders? How can we become more resilient in our lives and Ministries?…. were a few of the many questions participants received answers and insight to during this Conference.
The first message titled ‘The Effects on Nature of Man After the Fall’, in which Bishop Dag carefully dissected man’s current state as a result of the Fall, using the key scripture for the Conference, Ezekiel 2:2 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. A few of the effects he mentioned, were: The end of our true fellowship or interaction with God, and how we are now cut off from the Power of God. The state of man experiencing a lowered mentality or a darkened mind, as a result of the Fall.
Bishop went on to enlighten us about what happens to us when the Spirit enters into our lives. “The effect of the Spirit coming or entering into your life is that you receive a Ministry. You receive power to prevail and be successful in Ministry”. God wants to use us by putting his Spirit into us. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. Luke 4:18.
His message on the first day left participants hungry and thirsty for more! As a result, more people trooped in on the 2nd day. Prophet Dag explained that God is sending us into a world filled with rebellious people and taught us how we can work with these people. In short, how God uses bad people (us), to save bad people. God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect Hebrews 11:40.
Bishop Dag continued to teach on how to create the Family (Church) of God. Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. He mentioned that one of the ways to create the family is to let people be filled with remembrance. He made reference to one of his books from the Loyalty Series “Those who Forget”. He explained what makes people forget, and why it is important to remember.
From Ezekiel 2:2-4 Bishop further expounded on how the Spirit guides us when He enters into us, how He helps us to achieve greater heights, and how and why we should deal with pride in order to give way to the Holy Spirit to work in us. He brought to our attention how Satan wants to separate us who belong to the family of God because he has been separated from the family. He ended the day’s teaching with a powerful prayer against anything that tempts and tests us as Christians. He prayed for God to renew a right Spirit in us.
The Conference was wowed by powerful song ministrations by an array of soloists, which showcased yet another beautiful side of our multi-gifted Prophet as a songwriter and lyricist. The Conference was further enriched by Documentaries, which showed the many and varied ‘near impossible’ journeys the Healing Jesus Campaign Team has embarked on over the years. The end of each day left us full of expectation and hungering for more of what was to come the next day. Our souls were richly fed!

Heaven or Hell, which one will be your home?
The voice of the tombs say to the living “you will certainly return“.
Having suffered many physical dislocations after the Renamo war in 1992, Magude has been a struggling town in Maputo, Mozambique. This once cattle-rich city had been reduced to almost nothing. Who will build this great city again? JESUS!
“Jesus? Even in their brokenness? What have they got to offer?” Well, Jesus saw Magude, a place better than hell and so sent his servant Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills to this city.
Great is the need for social amenities, political stability and economic boom. But what was Jesus really going to give these people? A CHOICE.
“Life is always followed by death. And death is always followed by Judgement”-Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills.
But what really follows Judgement? Well he revealed also that Judgement is followed by Heaven or Hell”. This is where it ends – THE CHOICE.
This is how Jesus intended to fix the brokenness of Magude.
Yes there were signs! Yes there were wonders! Did the blind not see? Or the deaf not hear? Or the lame not walk? Did arthritis not vanish! They all did!
But one thing, bigger and greater than all these was made evident in just one night in Magude: 5,383 SOULS WON TO CHRIST!
YES! The miracle of souls won unto Jesus Christ was the highlight of this night.
Five thousand? Did Jesus not feed 5000? And more?
Oh! Magude met Jesus! Magude escaped Hell!
If Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills and the Healing Jesus Campaign had stayed in Accra, Ghana, the people of Magude would have certainly met their death appointment and been carried to Hell! Mercy!
Job 14:5
A person’s days are determined; you have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed.
There is nowhere too far; no one too small for Salvation!
God bless Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills!

Technology is great and a definite plus to our fast-paced world. However, nothing beats the gift of Community and physical unity. Last year, Covid-19 won and the Give Thyself Wholly Conference had to be online. Nevertheless God is gracious and He smiled on us with mercy this year! The Give Thyself Wholly Conference is back and it’s better. This year we brought it Home!
This year’s Conference is dubbed “The Spirit Entered into Me Conference” and it is live at the Qodesh in North Kaneshie. The Ordination of 19 Non United Denominations Pastors was the perfect beginning to this amazing Conference. The ceremony mirrored the heart and purpose of the very name, Give Thyself Wholly. It was a beautiful sight to behold as these wonderful Men of God publicly declared their commitment to the course of Christ. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, his heart bursting with intense love, covered the newly ordained pastors with anointed prayers and numerous blessings.
The anointing session of the ordained pastors by Bishop Dag Heward-Mills coupled with the mesmerising ministration of Lady Pastor Georlynn’s Fulfill Your Ministry brought down Heaven here on earth. Whether you were in attendance or watching online, the power of the Presence of God was undeniably evident.
There is nothing as fulfilling as seeing the Army of God increase in number and as heart warming as welcoming more labourers into His vineyard.
Our Guest Pastor from not-too-far away Scotland established himself as a seasoned mouthpiece of God with his powerful message. ‘When we speak with the voice of the Lord, people will not be able to resist the wisdom that is coming from us’ was just one of the many treasured nuggets Pastor Ben McLaughlin shared in his message. He personified that phrase through the power and strength with which he preached.
This year’s conference has been great thus far! Numerous testimonies are already flooding in. Be sure to be a part of it to receive Light and Direction for your life and ministry.
The Truth Cathedral, Headquarters of the Loyalty House International (LHI) Denomination held a colourful event in October 2021 dubbed ‘COLOURFUL SUNDAY’. On this Special Day, the Church beamed gloriously in bright and colourful t-shirts, representing various Constituencies made up of Centers and Basontas within the Church. The Centers and Basontas accounted for souls that they won in the Month of Evangelism, July 2021.
The Convener of LHI, Bishop Ishmael Sam, Bishop and Pastor of the Headquarters, admonished the Congregation on the need to SELECT and MAINTAIN the aim of the Church. He emphasized that the aim of the Church is still Soul Winning, and that when this aim is maintained, “we will shine as stars forever” (Daniel 12: 2-3).
The Day was also marked with a Graduation Ceremony for some of the New Souls who had completed the Strong Believers’ School, and others who had completed the Fruitful Believers’ School. A total of 142 graduated from the Strong Believers’ School and 52 from the Fruitful Believers’ School. It was indeed a day of excitement to see souls washed in the Blood and clothed in beautiful colours join this wonderful family. “It is our continuous prayer that these Souls shall be established and that every Center and Basonta shall increase as the Lord adds to the Church daily such as should be saved.”
God bless Bishop Dag Heward-Mills for his relentless passion for the lost and for inspiring the UD as a whole to maintain the aim of Soul Winning. God bless Bishop Ishmael Sam for leading The Truth Cathedral to embark on this fantastic Retention Evangelism drive.
In the beautiful economically thriving city of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, the Army of the Lord marched through the city to bring the Good News of Salvation through Jesus Christ to the people. It took the initiative of one man, to make this happen.
Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills and the Healing Jesus Campaign, in 2018, did not hold back from entering into this beautiful seemingly well-to- do city. Just like Jesus, the Evangelist is preaching everywhere. To the rich and to the poor.
Many would say this economically thriving city of Tanzania is doing so well that it doesn’t need any help. But “what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?” Nations, Cities, Towns and Villages need the Gospel of Jesus Christ, for the question “Who is Jesus?” still lingers in the hearts of the lost!
Many Wonders characterized this Campaign in the thriving city. But there seemed to be a lot of disappearing….. Of what? Matiti Matato! Tumors! Swollen feet!
You are probably wondering what Matiti matato is. Well, ever heard of three breasts? That is Matiti matato. It was in this economically thriving city, that money could not cause the disappearance of such abnormal conditions. So much money, but tumors were still found in the body of men and women? How about surgery to bring swollen feet back to normal!
Only the power of Jesus could do all the disappearing. As the Evangelist Preached and Prayed for the people, third breast vanished, tumors were nowhere to be found and swollen feet shrunk right before the eyes of its victims! Such wonder! Surely, He is a Healing Jesus. The tears of joy that filled the arena could wipe a whole city clean!
The disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed His word by signs that accompanied it –Mark 16:20
Need I say more?
What a God we serve!
He has brought us His Son Jesus Christ, whose name every Nation and Tribe must know. Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills is surely fulfilling this Great Commission!
It is a great thing to support the Healing Jesus Campaigns to bring the testimony of Jesus to the people! He is a Healing Jesus!

Dear All,
Every Church has its “Due Order”. 1 Chronicles 15:13.
The current Church Practice where an individual, once appointed as a Pastor remains a Pastor is no more.
Henceforth, any individual appointed into the privileged position of a Pastor has to be in Good Standing to maintain his position as a Pastor.
To be in Good Standing, a Pastor must abide by the Vision, Principles, Philosophy, Standards, Doctrines, Procedures, Emphasis and the Anointing of the House.

‘When Mama comes home we always get something nice to eat’! Reverend Kwasi Dei could not have said it better! Episcopal Sister Adelaide Heward-Mills visited the First Love Center and her mark was Indelible. The program was nothing short of Incredible.
The impeccable singing of the love songs collection of First Love Music softened the atmosphere and gently prepared the hearts of the people in attendance. Everyone listened with rapt attention, captivated by the Wisdom that effortlessly oozed out of Episcopal Sister Adelaide.
‘A Perfect Vessel does not exist’, ‘Your Spouse is your Life’s Project till you die’, ‘Nobody does well in an atmosphere of Criticism’, ‘We are defined by our Relationship with Christ and not our Temperaments’ ‘Don’t try to be your Spouse’s personal Holy Ghost’, are just among numerous Wisdom Keys Auntie Maame shared that lovely evening.
The night was laden with hushed whispers, hearty laughs and a lot of nods of understanding; all in agreement with the Sweet Words she spoke. There was truly honey on her lips!
What was the wisdom key that you took away that night? Let us in on it in comments below!
A Casual Prophecy! A Prediction of what will happen in the Future! That’s how it happened.
It was the year 1999, during the camp, Love and the Mega Church, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills stood before his members and said that one benefit of having a Mega Church is that more special Ministries, such as Hospitals, are released. He spoke passionately about a day in the future when the Lighthouse Chapel International would have its own Hospital where the women can deliver their babies, a place where Prayers will be lifted up to the Lord that Healeth as the Operating Theatre gets set up for a Surgery. A place where your Spirit, Soul and Body will be rejuvenated.
Little did he know that in June 2006, this would come to pass. The Lighthouse Mission Hospital, now the St. Kathryn’s Hospital in honor of the Great Healing Evangelist Kathryn Kulman, has not only come into existence, but currently rubs shoulders with top private Medical Facilities in Accra and Ghana as a whole.
THE ST. KATHRYN’S HOSPITAL
The Hospital started out as part of a larger Humanitarian Effort. This included a Prison Ministry that reached out to Prisoners all over the city month after month with; Hot Meals, the Word of God and anything and everything that made life behind bars as humane as possible. It also started an Outreach to support Beggars (most of whom were blind or lame) as well as a wing to assist Schools for the Visually and Hearing impaired, among others.
The name was then changed to the Help the Helpless Charity as an attempt to maintain the wider Humanitarian Vision, and now it is the famous St. Kathryn’s Hospital that has brought Healing to many people with various diseases.
THE GREAT HEALING EVANGELIST, KATHRYN KULMAN AT ONE OF HER MANY HEALING SERVICES
St. Kathryn’s Hospital started with a few beds and three Doctors. By the Grace of God, the Hospital has grown in leaps and bounds. It is a Fully-Equipped Hospital with 26 Beds, and Facilities for Outpatient and In-patient Services. These Facilities include Wards for Admission, an Operating Theatre, a Laboratory, Ultrasound and X-ray Services, a fully stocked Pharmacy and an Executive Morgue, all in a pristine, serene setting.
ULTRA MODERN OPERATING THEATRE AT THE ST. KATHRYN’S HOSPITAL
Many Specialists practice at St. Kathryn’s, including Obstetricians, Gynaecology and Fertility Specialists, Otolaryngologists, Urologists, Surgeons, Paediatric Specialists, Dentists, Opticians, Dieticians and Consultant Radiologists.

It does not stop there. There are plans underway to open a brand new Hope Facility. This will include a Prosthetics Centre and a Modern Assisted Reproduction Centre.
ST. MARY’S PROSTHETIC CENTRE CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION
As if all this is not enough, members of the United Denominations who come along with Proof of Membership, such as tithe cards, get a discount for Medical Services. Also, sections of the Church Community get discounts for Annual Medical Checkup. What a Church! What a Blessing!
WELCOMING RECEPTION AT THE ST. KATHRYN’S HOSPITAL
I know you are blessed with Good Health, but if for some reason you must visit a Hospital, you would definitely want to come to this anointed Home of Healing!
