The Founder and General Overseer of the United Denominations Originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches (UD-OLGC), Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, has opened up about the death of his 31-year-old son.<\/p>\n

In a sermon titled, \u2018The grave is not the end\u2019, the renowned Evangelist said the death of his son, David Heward-Mills, has created a \u201cfunny environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy son David just passed away. It spoils everything. You ask me am I sad? If you had a son who died, will you be sad? You should ask yourself that question. It [ spoils everything. It brings a funny environment and it makes nonsense of everything. We always try to wish it further and further away but that is how it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. David Heward-Mills died on Easter Friday in the United States after a short illness.<\/p>\n

His death was announced in a circular issued to members of the church.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is with deep regret and great sorrow that we announce the sudden passing away of David Heward-Mills, after a short illness. David was the first son of our Founder and Presiding Bishop.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, also as a church, are heartbroken, however, we stand with our leader and his family and believe that God will comfort and see us through this very difficult season.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease respect their privacy during this difficult time. Funeral arrangements will be communicated in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n

David worked as a resident physician at Prisma Health, Columbia in the United States of America, for almost two years.<\/p>\n

He was a Research Physician at Shriners Hospitals for Children in Galveston.<\/p>\n
