The renowned Healing Jesus Campaign, led by internationally acclaimed evangelist and author, Dag Heward-Mills, is set to make a powerful return to Sierra Leone from April 29 to May 3, 2025. The five-day spiritual crusade will be held at the Freetown Teacher’s Training College Field in Jui, drawing thousands of worshippers from across the country and beyond. The revelation was made at a Press Conference held on Friday 4th April, 2025 at the Methodist Conference Hall, on Kingharman Road in Freetown.
This major evangelistic outreach will feature five nights of revival meetings and a three-day Pastors and Leaders Conference designed to spiritually equip and empower Christian leaders for effective ministry. Open to people of all faiths and backgrounds, the campaign aims to unite the Body of Christ and foster moral and spiritual transformation in Sierra Leone.
Dag Heward-Mills, founder of the United Denominations Originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches (UDOLGC), is known worldwide for his healing crusades, which have touched over 38 countries with more than 250 campaigns and 10.5 million documented decisions for Christ. His ministry has witnessed miraculous healings, deliverance from chronic illness and mass salvation across continents.
Speaking at the launch, Bishop Abu Koroma, Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Freetown Healing Jesus Campaign, signaled the return of the world-renowned evangelist Dag Heward-Mills to Sierra Leone for a powerful spiritual revival, describing the upcoming campaign as “a divine visitation for Sierra Leone,” and called on citizens of all backgrounds to prepare for a time of “miracles, healing, deliverance and salvation.” The campaign is scheduled to run from April 29 to May 3, 2025, at the Freetown Teacher Training College Field in Jui, with services beginning each night at 5:00 PM.
Bishop Abu Koroma noted that, in addition to the five nights of open-air crusades, a special Pastors and Leaders Conference will be held from April 30 to May 2 each morning from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Flaming Evangelical Ministries on Syke Street. He announced that there will be two registration options: a normal registration fee of 50 Leones, which grants access to the conference and a Makarios registration fee of 600 Leones, which includes conference access and 50 books authored by Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills. The conference is designed to equip church leaders with biblical principles and spiritual tools for more effective ministry.
According to him, the principal speaker for the campaign, Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills, is a respected healing minister, teacher and founder of the United Denominations Originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches (UDOLGC), a global network of over 4,000 churches. Since launching the Healing Jesus Campaign in 2004, he has held over 250 crusades in 38 countries, resulting in more than 10.5 million documented decisions for Christ. His ministry is known for supernatural healing encounters, including testimonies of the blind seeing, the lame walking and the sick being cured of chronic illnesses.
He informed the gathering that the Healing Jesus Campaign, organized in collaboration with the Body of Christ in Sierra Leone, is non-denominational and open to all. Its goals include proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ, demonstrating compassion to the vulnerable, promoting unity among churches and encouraging spiritual and moral renewal, particularly among the youth.
Bishop Abu Koroma concluded the launch with a passionate call to action:
“This is your moment, Sierra Leone. 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.”
The stage is set for a historic encounter. All are invited to attend and experience the power of God in an atmosphere of worship, faith and unity.
On his part, Schwarts Ebo Ankrah, International Director for renowned Ghanaian evangelist Dag Heward-Mills extended heartfelt gratitude to the various Christian organizations and networks that endorsed the campaign.
Schwarts Ebo Ankrah revealed that Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills is expected to arrive in Freetown on April 28th and will remain in the country until May 5th. During that period, the campaign will focus on five nights of gospel crusades across the city. “The primary agenda is the gospel of Jesus Christ. All other blessings healings, miracles and transformations are just side benefits,” he noted.
He emphasized the power of the spoken word, referencing scripture and stating, “When God wanted to create light, He spoke. When people get married, it is the words that seal the union. Likewise, we believe in the power of the Word of God to bring salvation and healing.”
As part of the campaign, a Pastors and Leaders Conference an international event originally hosted in Ghana will also be held in Freetown for three consecutive mornings at Flaming Evangelical Ministries on Syke Street. Ankrah expressed confidence that the conference will spiritually empower local pastors. “We believe Sierra Leonean pastors are anointed, but we also believe that what we carry can complement and multiply what they already have.”
In a strong appeal to the broader public, Schwarts Ebo Ankrah made it clear that the campaign is not exclusive to Christians. “When you go to the hospital, you don’t ask if the doctor is Muslim, Hindu or Christian. You go because you need healing,” he said. “So we invite everyone regardless of religion to come if they are seeking healing or solutions.”
He also hinted that, subject to approval, Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills may pay a courtesy call on His Excellency the President of Sierra Leone as part of the campaign’s engagement with national leadership. “We pray for the Government and its institutions. Our role as the church is to support and uplift through prayer and unity,” he said.
Addressing misconceptions about the campaign’s name, Schwarts Ebo Ankrah clarified, “We are not saying we are healing Jesus. The name ‘Healing Jesus Campaign’ distinguishes the Jesus we preach, the miracle-working, saving Jesus Christ from other namesakes, even footballers like Gabriel Jesus.”
