The capital city of Sierra Leone is set to experience a spiritual revival as the Healing Jesus Campaign, a major evangelistic outreach led by renowned international preacher Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills, comes to Freetown from April 29 to May 3, 2025.

Announced recently, the campaign will be hosted at the Freetown Polytechnic (formerly Freetown Teachers College) Field in Jui and is expected to draw thousands of attendees from across the country and beyond.

What has made this crusade even more powerful is the endorsement it has received from the spiritual fathers and mothers, mighty men and women of God across the land of Sierra Leone.

Organized in collaboration with the Body of Christ in Sierra Leone, this non-denominational event is open to all regardless of background, denomination or faith and promises five nights of miracles, healing, deliverance and salvation, alongside three days of leadership training for pastors and church leaders.

The principal speaker for the ‘Healing Jesus Campaign’ is Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills, a globally respected preacher, author and founder of the United Denominations Originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches (UDOLGC), which comprises more than 4,000 churches worldwide.

A trained medical doctor, Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills has dedicated over two decades to full-time ministry, bringing the message of Jesus Christ to millions. Since launching the Healing Jesus Campaign in 2004, he has preached in 38 countries through more than 250 campaigns, leading to over 10.5 million recorded decisions for Christ.

He is also the author of over 100 Christian books, translated into 58 languages and serves on international Christian platforms such as the Pentecostal World Fellowship and Church Growth International, founded by the late Dr. David Yonggi Cho of South Korea.

The week-long program will feature:

- Five nights of open-air crusades (April 29 – May 3) starting at 5:00 PM nightly, at the Freetown Polytechnic (formerly Freetown Teachers College) Field in Jui, with spirit-filled worship, gospel preaching and divine healing services.


- A three-day Pastors & Leaders Conference (April 30 – May 2), from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM, at Flaming Evangelical Ministries on Syke Street in Freetown, aimed at equipping church leaders with biblical leadership principles and spiritual empowerment.

For the Pastors & Leaders Conference, participants are required to register and there will be two registration options: a standard registration fee of 50 Leones, which grants access to the conference, and a Makarios registration fee of 600 Leones, which includes conference access along with 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. These payments apply only to the Pastors & Leaders Conference, while the five nights of open-air crusades remain completely free and open to the public.

Organizers say the crusade will be a time of divine visitation, referencing testimonies from previous campaigns across Africa where attendees have reported miraculous healings, deliverance from oppression and spiritual transformation.

According to the organizing committee, the objectives of the Healing Jesus Campaign include preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, fostering unity within the Christian community and promoting moral and spiritual revival particularly among the youth.

“This is a campaign of miracles and transformation,” a spokesperson said. “It is about healing not just bodies, but also hearts, communities and the soul of the nation.”

Excitement is already building across churches and communities in Sierra Leone. Many faith leaders have welcomed the campaign as a timely intervention in a country yearning for spiritual renewal, healing and peace.

“This will be a national blessing,” said Rev. Samuel Bangura, a local pastor in Freetown. “It’s a chance for Sierra Leone to encounter God in a powerful way. We are mobilizing our members and the entire community to attend.”

Everyone including individuals, families, churches and curious seekers is invited to take part in this historic event. Organizers are encouraging attendees to come with faith and expectancy.

“Come expecting a miracle. Come expecting healing. Come expecting salvation,” Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills said in a statement. “Jesus is ready to meet you right where you are.” https://thecalabashnewspaper.com/church-leaders-endorse-healing-jesus-campaign-ahead-of-april-29-may-3-crusade/
