As momentum builds for the much-anticipated Healing Jesus Campaign scheduled from April 29 to May 3, 2025, at the Freetown Teachers’ Training College Field in Jui the Executive and Central Planning Committees have begun a series of high-level engagements with key government institutions across Freetown.
Spearheaded by the Body of Christ in Sierra Leone, the crusade is expected to draw thousands from within and outside the country for five days of powerful spiritual revival, led by world-renowned healing evangelist Dag Heward-Mills.
Over the past week, committee members paid courtesy visits to several Government entities, including the Freetown City Council, Western Area Rural District Council, Ministry of Social Welfare, Gender and Children’s Affairs, Sierra Leone Police Headquarters, Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces Headquarters, and State House.
According to Bishop Abu Fedrick Sidikie Koroma, Chairman of the Executive Committee, these visits were aimed at officially informing authorities about the upcoming crusade and securing collaboration on key logistical aspects such as security, crowd management, and public engagement.
Speaking to journalists, Bishop Abu Koroma described the campaign as a “divine visitation for Sierra Leone”, noting that the event seeks not only to bring healing and salvation, but also to unite churches, promote moral renewal, and empower Christian leaders nationwide. He emphasized that working closely with government institutions would help ensure the event is peaceful, well-organized, and impactful.
Since its inception in 2004, the Healing Jesus Campaign has conducted over 250 large-scale crusades across 38 countries, resulting in more than 10.5 million documented decisions for Christ. A medical doctor by training, Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills is the founder of the United Denominations Originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches (UDOLGC), which oversees over 4,000 churches globally.
Known for his powerful preaching, miraculous healings, and leadership development programs, Evangelist Heward-Mills has witnessed testimonies of blind eyes opened and chronic illnesses healed at previous crusades.
Bishop Akitayo Jolly, Chairman of the Central Planning Committee, shared further details of the event with the media. He announced that nightly revival meetings will begin daily at 5:00 PM at the campaign grounds in Jui. Additionally, a three-day Pastors and Leaders Conference will take place from April 30 to May 2 at Flaming Evangelical Ministries on Syke Street, with morning sessions running from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The conference will equip ministers with biblical insights and spiritual empowerment for more effective ministry.
Schwarts Ebo Ankrah, International Director for Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills, emphasized the importance of the government visits, saying they are vital for creating awareness and institutional support. He highlighted the non-denominational nature of the campaign, reiterating that while healing and miracles may occur, the central mission remains the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Ankrah also confirmed that Evangelist Heward-Mills is expected to arrive in Freetown on April 28 and will remain until May 5, dedicating his stay entirely to spiritual outreach and revival.
This marks the second time the Healing Jesus Campaign will be hosted in Freetown. Organizers are optimistic that this year’s turnout will surpass previous figures, thanks to heightened public interest and robust media coverage through radio, television, newspapers, and digital platforms.
As excitement continues to build, campaign leaders are calling on Sierra Leoneans of all backgrounds to attend and expect divine intervention.
“This is your moment, Sierra Leone,” Bishop Koroma declared passionately. “Come expecting a miracle. Come expecting healing. Come expecting salvation. We believe God for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the transformation of our nation.”
