Founder and leader of the United Denominations Originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches (UD-OLGC), Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills, has shared a profound insight on the realities of ministry work.

In a post on his Twitter (formerly X) page, he wrote:

“You can’t have a certain type of ministry without wounds.”

The respected preacher’s statement highlights the inevitable challenges, sacrifices, and personal battles that often accompany specific callings in Christian ministry. According to Evangelist Heward-Mills, enduring “wounds” whether emotional, spiritual, or physical can be part of the process of fulfilling God’s work, shaping leaders to be more compassionate, resilient, and effective in their service.
