Some members of the Lighthouse Church have leapt to the defence of <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/filla/continue-betting-if-you-want-to-be-poor-dag-heward-mills-narrates-personal-experience/x0p5jb9">Bishop Dag Heward-Mills </a>in the wake of controversies surrounding the treatment of pastors.

The renowned evangelist has come under the spotlight following a damning story run by The Fourth Estate.

Titled “Darkness in the Lighthouse: Pastors recount abuse and trauma”, the story reveals accounts of pastors who feel they weren’t treated well by the church.

Ghanaians are too religious but lack attitude to develop – Dag Heward-Mills

Bishop Dag Heward-Mills

Bishop Dag Heward-Mills is the founder of the church, now known as the United Denominations originating from Lighthouse Group of Churches.

Six former pastors have sued the church claiming they were exploited and their SSNIT contributions weren’t paid during their active working years.

This has led to criticism from a section of Ghanaians, who believe the church and its founder acted in bad faith.

However, some members of the Lighthouse church have also taken to Twitter to defend their head pastor.

Below are some of the tweets:

Bishop Dag is a good father

Even hitler had followers despite it all,no matter how you make Bishop Dag appear.There will be others who will still appreciate him for personal influence he’s had in their lives. So yeah being an atheist won’t mean others should follow up. Stop forcing it, call him out properly
