Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, the Founder and General Overseer of the United Denominations Originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches (UD-OLGC), has spoken out about his 31-year-old son’s death.
The death of his son, David Heward-Mills, has produced a “strange milieu,” according to the renowned Evangelist in a sermon titled “The cemetery is not the end.”
“My son David passed away recently. Everything is ruined by it. Do you want to know whether I’m sad? Will you be sad if one of your sons dies? That is a question you should ask yourself. Everything is spoiled by it. It creates a humorous environment and makes everything absurd. We attempt to wish it away as much as possible, but it is what it is.”
On Easter Friday, Dr. David Heward-Mills passed away.
His death was revealed in a circular sent to church members.
“It is with great regret and sadness that we announce David Heward-Mills’ untimely death following a brief illness. “Our Founder and Presiding Bishop’s first son was David.”
“We, too, as a church, are heartbroken; yet, we stand with our leader and his family, trusting that God will comfort and guide us through this trying time.”
“During this difficult moment, please respect their privacy. Funeral arrangements will be announced as soon as possible.”
For almost two years, David worked as a resident physician at Prisma Health in Columbia, South Carolina.
