The 2023 Givethyself Wholly Conference is the Largest Pastors’ conference in the world today. Thousands of pastors and church workers from all corners of the world converged to partake in this transformative event. During the conference, anointed ministers of the gospel shared practical insights on carrying out the work of the ministry.
The Give thyself wholly conference
Originally known as the Iron Sharpeneth Iron Ministry Conference, it was first established in 2004 by Dag Heward-Mills. Dag Heward-Mills is a Mega Church Pastor, Bestselling Author, Healing Evangelist, and conference speaker. It was later rebranded as the Givethyself Wholly Conference. Over the years, the conference has featured a constellation of world-renowned pastors, such as Pastor Benny Hinn, Dr. Paul Enenche, Dr. David Summrall, Arch Bishop Nicolas Duncan Williams, and many others.
This year’s edition took place at the esteemed Anagkazo Bible and Ministry Training Center in Mampong, Ghana. Alongside Bishop Dag, the conference welcomed three other distinguished speakers: Reverend Dominic Yeo, pastor of one of Singapore’s largest churches; Pastor Tom Duschelle, leading a prominent congregation in Zimbabwe, and Yvan Castano Pastor of the largest church in Europe and Mohammed Sanogo one of the largest Pillars in the French Christian world.
What set this conference apart was the awe-inspiring gathering of thousands of pastors hailing from diverse corners of the world. These Pastors were eager to hear Bishop Dag Heward-Mills expound on ministry principles. Attendees traveled from countries spanning France, Singapore, America, Brazil, Madagascar, South Africa, Antigua, and beyond, rendering it a truly global gathering with representatives from every continent.
Anticipation at the largest pastors’ conference
Such was the enthusiasm that the great hall, accommodating five thousand, overflowed, necessitating an outdoor setup to accommodate the surplus attendees. The palpable anticipation and expectation were tangible before each session as these men of God yearned to glean divine insights.
During the conference, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills drew from his book, “The Good General,” offering profound teachings. On one occasion, he focused on the “Selection and Maintenance of the Aim.” He eloquently illustrated how the intent behind an action can either elevate or corrupt its outcome.
Drawing parallels with a doctor, lawyer, and pastor, he explained how the aim can impact the decisions and motives of these professions. For instance, a doctor driven by monetary gain might recommend unnecessary tests to increase revenue.
In addition to the teachings, Bishop Dag prayed for all the pastors present, imparting various graces, including the grace for building. Those pastors who had been grappling with constructing church buildings received a special prayer of encouragement and empowerment.
Testimonials from pastors who attended the Givethyself Wholly Conference attest to its profound impact. Pastor Bernie from Scotland expressed awe, stating, “Mind-blowing expectation fulfilled in just one session.” The conference proved to be a life-changing experience for many Pastors, and those who missed this year’s event are eagerly encouraged to make it a priority to attend next year.
The 2023 Givethyself Wholly Conference transcended geographical boundaries and cultural barriers, uniting pastors in their shared pursuit of spiritual growth, ministry excellence, and divine purpose. It stands as a beacon of hope and inspiration for pastors worldwide, fostering a spirit of unity and collaboration that reverberates far beyond the conference’s closing day.
