About Light House Chapel International  Light House Chapel International  is  a Pentecostal Christian Denomination founded in 1987 by Dag Heward-Mills and headquartered in Accra, Ghana. It is considered to be one of the leading Pentecostal/Charismatic denominations in Ghana, and has over 3000 branches in Africa, Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, Australia, the Middle East and the Americas. It seemed like a lonely journey devoid of success, when Bishop Dag Heward-Mills began ministering the Christian Gospel in Accra, Ghana. This vision seems to continue unabated. This vision has birthed Lighthouse Chapel International and many other ministries. The Church, in 1992 then renovated and converted an old cinema in the Korle Gonno area into a large cathedral seating over 3000 people. From there Dag began to teach on church planting and sent out many missionaries to start branches of the Lighthouse Chapel in other nations, towns, and cities of the world. Korle Gonno Cathedral was considered as headquarters of LCI, from April 1993 to December 2005.[1] The building was renamed "Light of the World Cathedral" in 2010. In January 2006, "The Qodesh" became the headquarters of LCI, in the North Kaneshie suburb of Accra, Ghana.The building has a seating capacity of 10000. Two chapels are named after bishops Addy and Sackey, and a third is named after Adelaide Heward-Mills, wife of the LCI leader and now first lady and reverend minister of Lighthouse Chapel.
