Early Years

Dag Heward-Mills was born on May 14, 1963 in London to Elizabeth and Nathaniel Heward-Mills. Later, they moved to Ghana attended Achimota School.[4]

Medical School and the Early Ministry

Heward-Mills went to the University of Ghana Medical School and graduated in 1989. During those years, he heard the Lord say to him; "From now, you can teach." Dag didn't pass the call by. He obeyed and started a small fellowship of 5 people in 1985 in a canteen. During that time period, he would go out early in the morning and preach the word of God. This is called a (non-electrical) daily broadcast. In 1988, Dag started the Lighthouse Chapel International. They would meet in canteens as like the early church did in 1985. They bought a local theater in Korle-Gonno[5] in 1991. [6]

Heward-Mills founded a bible school — The Anagkazo Bible and Ministry Training Center (ABMTC), to train men and women[7] in the practical work of the ministry. The Bible School campus is located in the Akuapem mountains of Ghana, and is one of the largest privately owned campuses in the country.

In 2011, Heward-Mills began to pastor the First Love Church, now known as United Organization of First Love Churches in 190 nations (UO-FLC 190).[8] This happened, he says, when he received a clear instruction from God to go back to his “First Love.”
