While religious work or the office of the priesthood isn’t much of a family inheritance or even business, there is no doubt that, like everything else, parents doing something worthwhile would usually want their offspring to also follow in the same, if not to succeed them.
Today, it would be fair to say that, many Christian leaders would feel proud that their children have stepped into their shoes, carrying on the message of the Good News of Jesus Christ, just as they are doing.
Without a doubt, it is not the case for many children of preachers, but there are a few stories of such that GhanaWeb brings to you in the article.
Here they are:
1. Bishop Joshua Heward-Mills
Bishop Joshua Heward-Mills is the only son of the Founder and General Overseer of the United Denomination Originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches (UD-OLGC), Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, who is into full ministry.
He is the current resident pastor of the First Love Church, a 10,000-member church.
He is a trained lawyer by profession from the Nottingham Trent University and before he translated into full-time ministry, he worked as a Compliance Officer at HSBC in their London office.

2. Prophet Joel Duncan-Williams
Joel Duncan-Williams is the third child of renowned Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams who is also the head pastor of his church which is mainly a youth ministry.
