Rhema Bible Training College Austria

      The new semester at Rhema Bible Training College Austria began in February. We welcomed 30 new students in basic training and 19 in the advanced training. We now have around 240 students studying in our five campus locations in Austria.

      At the end of March we conducted our first Rhema Austria Alumni meeting for our graduates in Klagenfurt. Up until now we have only conducted alumni meetings in Wels, but we decided to make them more accessible by conducting them regionally. It was a great time of fellowship and encouragement, and the alumni were very thankful.

Rhema International Directors Meeting & WBS

      Judy and I traveled to the USA for the annual Rhema International Directors Meetings. It was a great time of hearing about what’s happening in different parts of the world and receiving helpful and pertinent information for our work in Austria. We also attended Winter Bible Seminar and were very refreshed by the worship and ministry of the word of God. We are so thankful for the Hagins and our Rhema family!

USA Trip 2023 - Friends, Family and Ministry

      When we were in the USA we also visited friends, family and several churches. We ministered at Walnut Grove Church with Pastor David and Sharon Ingles in Broken Arrow and were guests on the Road Show on KNYD Oasis Network. Then we flew to Orange County California and spent some time with Pastors Mike and Beth Webb. We also ministered in their awesome Foothill Family Church. Our next stop was in Kentucky at Victory Christian Center with Pastors Byron and Rhea Mills. When we were there we visited with Judy’s family and had a great time. Then we were off to New Jersey and spent time with family there. We also shared the word at First Assembly of God’s “Seniors 4 Life” group with Pastor Kenyon and then at Medford’s Crossroads Assembly of God with Pastor Steve and Michelle Spadaro. My niece, Melody and her husband Drew lead worship at Crossroads. We got to meet their little Juliana Hope who is just 6 months old.

Let's Go Missions Conference 2023

      Two days after arriving back in Austria we conducted our annual missions conference. It was amazing! 27 mission organizations and missionaries from all over the world inspired, challenged and equipped the more than 500 visitors. We had international praise and worship, mission rallies, mission presentations, workshops, outreaches, kids mission rally and international cuisine during the breaks. We also raised more than 73,000 Euros for the mission organizations that God s ent to us. Let’s go into all the world for Jesus. So many people have yet to hear!

New Book: "You and Your Whole House"

      Fred’s new book, “You and Your Whole House” is now available. In this book, Fred shares about how you can pray for your family members and share the gospel with them in a practical and effective manner. It is God’s desire to save your entire family. Some of the subjects covered are “acting on your covenant rights”, “breaking the power of the enemy”, “commissioning God’s angels”, “praying for laborers”, “the convicting power of the Holy Spirit” and much more. It is available in both English and German. You can order it by clicking here.

Judy's Birthday!

J udy will celebrate her 60th birthday on April 20th. You would never guess that by looking at her and trying to keep up with her fast paced schedule! Sometimes we are moving so quick that when we get a moment to rest in between, we are astonished at how time flies. We will be married 39 years in December, both of our kids are married and have blessed us with grandchildren. God has given us fruit, more fruit and much fruit in all the years we have lived for Him since we both got saved back in 1984.
