About Joshua D. Heward-Mills
Pastor Joshua D. Heward-Mills is a Ghanaian Christian minister, author, and founder of the Anagkazo Bible and Ministry Training Centre and associated church ministry, working within the evangelical and charismatic tradition of Ghanaian Christianity. His ministry has focused on biblical teaching, leadership training, and the development of young Christian ministers equipped to serve churches across Ghana and beyond.
His work in ministry training addresses a genuine need in Ghanaian Christianity: the rapid growth of the church across Ghana and Africa has created demand for theologically trained, practically equipped pastors and ministers that traditional denominational training systems have not always been able to meet at the scale required. Ministry training centres like Anagkazo help fill this gap by offering focused, intensive biblical and leadership formation.
As a second-generation minister — his father is the internationally known Bishop Dag Heward-Mills — Joshua brings a pedigree and a training foundation that has informed his approach to ministry, while building his own distinct contribution to Ghanaian Christian leadership. Following a well-known parent in ministry creates its own pressures and expectations, and his work has established a profile that stands on its own foundations.
His teaching and preaching have engaged with the standard concerns of evangelical ministry: biblical literacy, Christian leadership, personal discipleship, and the practical application of faith to everyday life. His approach combines theological seriousness with the accessibility that connects with the young Christians who are the primary audience for his ministry work.
Joshua D. Heward-Mills's recognition among Ghana's most influential young people reflects his standing within the Christian community and his contribution to the training and development of the next generation of Ghanaian church leadership, work with long-term significance for the shape of Christianity in Ghana.
