Harvest Evangelism Ministry-Addiction and Recovery
Starting out together in ministry when they married
in 1980, in Opelika, Alabama it was then called, "East Alabama
Challenge" and primarily consisted of evangelism and a Christian
Coffeehouse (aka Community Center) called, "The Challenge". Modeled
after Teen Challenge (the ministry to addicts begun by David Wilkerson),
East Alabama Challenge was a local outreach to those who needed
someplace safe to hear the gospel and those who just wanted to be around
other Christians, hear Christian music, fellowship, be discipled in The
Word and trained in evangelism and sharing their faith in word, as well
as deed.After moving to East Texas (1985) to work for two years with David Wilkerson and his World Challenge Ministries there, Rick felt the call to bring his wife (Kim) and newborn son (RC) back home to Alabama and re-establish themselves in ministry there.
In 1987, Harvest Evangelism was founded and they started again just like they had left; evangelism, missions and Coffehouse ministry. Before too long, after Rick bringing too many men home for the Hagans' to continue to house, His Place the coffeehouse, became His Place the men's home. Men coming in who found their lives consumed by life controling problems, found a safe place to find the love of God. They were men who while lost, hurt and enslaved, found hope, live, love and freedom in the person of Jesus Christ.
Very soon they realized that there were also so many ladies who were also in desperate need of this 24/7 care and discipleship and Hosanna Home was born. After that came Hope's Inn, Harvest Thrift Super Center and Hope Clinic.
Though the local ministries of His Place, Hosanna Home, Hope's Inn, Hope Clinic and Harvest Thrift Super Center are the most visible, the ministry of evangelism, missions, outreach and hands on ministry goes on regularily, not only through the pulpit and teaching ministries of Pastor Rick and Kim Hagans, but also through the ministry of others.
We are so very blessed that you chose to come see what God is doing here.
This ministry is dedicated to preaching Jesus and seeing Him set free lives enslaved to sin and the passions of our own flesh.
As you look through the pages of our site, we hope you will find something that will minister to you, that will speak of God's love for you, that will encourage you to learn more about Christ and will challenge you to live more according to His Word.
